ℹ️General Overview

For children aged 2-5 (toddlers and preschoolers), this is generally a gentle cleansing ingredient and is low risk when used in normal wash-off products like shampoos and body washes.

✅What to Do

Choose products that rinse off (not leave-on creams). Use low-concentration cleansers made for children. Keep the product away from the child’s eyes and rinse well if it gets in the eyes. If your child has very sensitive skin or a history of skin reactions, test a small area first or choose a product labelled for sensitive skin.

⚠️Warnings

There is a small chance of skin or eye irritation reported by safety reviewers (source: Cosmetic Ingredient Review). Safety reviews also note that safe use depends on concentration and whether the product is rinse-off or leave-on (source: Cosmetic Ingredient Review). Government review did not find systemic toxicity or persistence concerns (source: Environment Canada). Stop use and see a doctor if you notice redness, rash, swelling, or breathing changes after use.
