ℹ️General Overview

For children aged 2–5 years (toddlers and preschoolers), this ingredient is generally low risk. It’s a mild cleaner and helps mix oil and water in lotions and wipes. Most kids tolerate it well.

What to Do

Use products made for young children or labeled gentle. If you try a new lotion or wipe, test on a small patch of skin first (inner forearm). Don’t use on broken skin. Rinse well if it gets in the child’s eyes. If redness or irritation appears, stop use and wash the area with plain water.
