For toddlers and preschoolers (2–5 years), this soap ingredient is generally low risk and is best when used in rinse-off products like body wash or bath soap. It is not commonly linked to serious health problems.
Use products that are made for children and labeled for rinse-off use. Rinse skin and hair well after use. Avoid using products with this ingredient as a leave-on lotion or wipe on young children. If you are choosing a product, pick one with simple formulation for kids or a trusted children’s brand.
Watch for dry skin, redness, or irritation after use — rinse the area and stop use if irritation occurs. Safety reviews from the Cosmetic Ingredient Review note that safe use depends on concentration and product type, and some product-certification programs restrict this ingredient unless manufacturers show it is used safely. If your child has eczema or very sensitive skin, avoid products with strong soap bases and check with your pediatrician before use.
