1-2 year old toddlers • Skin contact product
For toddlers (1-2 years), sodium palmate is generally low risk when used in products you rinse off, like soaps and shampoos. It can be a little drying or irritating on very sensitive or broken skin.
Choose rinse-off products (bath soaps, shampoos) rather than leave-on creams with this ingredient. If you do use a product with it, rinse thoroughly and pat skin dry. For a child with very dry or eczema-prone skin, pick milder, specially formulated gentle cleansers or skip products that list this ingredient.
Avoid leave-on products for toddlers that contain sodium palmate. Watch for redness, dryness, or irritation after use and stop if you see these signs. Industry safety reviewers (Cosmetic Ingredient Review) note there are limits on safe amounts and some gaps in data about concentration and impurities, and some product verification programs require extra safety information before allowing this ingredient in verified products.
