For children 2-5 years (toddlers, preschoolers), this ingredient is generally safe in topical cleansers and rinse-off products. It’s mild and not linked to cancer or major allergic or developmental concerns.
Use products made for children or labeled gentle. Keep products out of your child’s mouth, rinse well after washing, and avoid getting the product in their eyes. If your child has sensitive skin, try a small patch test on the forearm first. Stop use and rinse if you see redness, stinging, or irritation.
There is limited evidence that this ingredient can irritate the eyes, and reviewers note it should be used within concentration or use limits (Cosmetic Ingredient Review and European Chemicals Agency). Avoid high-concentration products, keep the product away from your child’s eyes and mouth, and discontinue use if irritation occurs. If severe reaction happens, seek medical help.
