Sodium sulfate is usually low risk for toddlers (1-2 years). It's often used in rinse-off products such as baby shampoos and body washes and is not expected to cause long‑term harm at the low levels used in these products.
Choose gentle products made for toddlers or children and prefer rinse-off items (shampoo, bath wash). Rinse skin and hair well after use. If your child has eczema or very sensitive skin, do a small patch test first or use products labeled for sensitive skin. Stop use and rinse with water if you see irritation.
Regulatory reviews (Cosmetic Ingredient Review) note that safety can depend on concentration and whether a product is leave-on or rinse-off — avoid high concentrations in leave-on products. Environment Canada and the EPA list it as low concern for organ toxicity. Watch for redness, persistent dryness, stinging, swelling, or a new rash; if these happen, stop use and talk to your pediatrician. Seek immediate care if your child has trouble breathing or severe swelling.
