For toddlers (1–2 years old): generally safe when used in wipes or gentle cleansers at normal levels. It’s a mild cleansing ingredient with low health concerns, but it can sometimes cause mild skin or eye irritation.
Use products made for babies or young children and follow product directions. Prefer rinse-off cleansers when possible. Do a small patch test on your child’s arm before full use. If your child has sensitive skin or a history of allergies, choose products designed for sensitive skin and check with your child’s doctor if unsure.
Watch for redness, stinging, dryness, or a rash after use — these signs can mean irritation or an allergic reaction (based on assessments by Cosmetic Ingredient Review and Environment Canada). Avoid using on broken or already irritated skin.
