ℹ️General Overview
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.
✅What to Do
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.
