2-5 year old preschoolers • Skin contact product
For kids 2-5 years old (toddlers and preschoolers), Lauryl Glucoside is usually safe when used in normal rinse-off products like shampoos and body washes. It has a low chance of causing serious problems but can sometimes irritate skin or eyes and rarely trigger an allergic skin reaction.
Choose gentle, child- or sensitive-skin products that list this ingredient at normal concentrations. Prefer rinse-off items (body wash, shampoo) rather than leave-on lotions with high cleansing concentrations. Do a small patch test on the inside of the arm before using a product widely. Keep it away from the eyes. If your child has eczema or very sensitive skin, talk to your pediatrician before regular use.
Watch for redness, persistent rash, blistering, swelling, hives, or eye stinging after use. Stop use and rinse well if irritation or allergic signs appear, and see your pediatrician if it does not clear. Sources for these warnings include a professional safety review that notes use limits (Cosmetic Ingredient Review), case reports and patch testing studies that show rare allergic reactions (for example: "Patch testing with alkyl glucosides" and "Allergic contact dermatitis caused by alkyl glucosides"), and a toxicology review that reported animal effects at moderate doses ("Ecology and Toxicology of Alkyl Polyglycosides").
