5+ year old children • Skin contact product
For kids aged 5 and up, this ingredient is generally low risk. It helps products make foam and clean skin. Most safety checks show low concern for serious health issues, but it can cause mild irritation in some people.
Use products that are made for children or that say they are formulated to avoid irritation. For rinse-off products (shampoo, body wash), use as directed and rinse thoroughly. If trying a new product, do a quick patch test on a small area of skin first. If your child has sensitive skin, eczema, or a history of reactions, choose a milder, fragrance-free product.
Some safety reviews note a small risk of skin, eye, or lung irritation and say the ingredient should be formulated to avoid irritation (source: Cosmetic Ingredient Review). Also, certain product certification or verification programs may restrict or avoid this ingredient unless manufacturers provide extra safety information. If you notice redness, stinging, rash, or eye irritation, stop use, rinse the area with water, and talk with your child’s healthcare provider.
