For toddlers (1-2 years old) this ingredient is generally safe. It’s a mild cleansing/conditioning ingredient used in creams and washes and is not linked to serious long-term harms at the small amounts used in normal products.
Choose products made for babies or young children, and follow product directions. For washes, rinse thoroughly. Avoid getting products in the child’s eyes. If trying a new product, do a small spot check on a patch of skin first. Stop use and wash the area if you see redness, rash, or stinging, and check with your child’s doctor if the reaction continues.
Some industry safety reviewers (Cosmetic Ingredient Review) note this ingredient should be kept at appropriate low concentrations and formulated to avoid irritation — that is the main safety note to keep in mind. Watch for signs of skin or eye irritation (redness, swelling, rash, blistering), do not apply to broken or inflamed skin, and avoid adult-only or strong concentrated products for toddlers. If you see any worrying reaction, stop use and consult your pediatrician.
