For children 5 years and older this ingredient is generally safe in skin products. It’s a mild ingredient used to help mix and lightly clean products and rarely causes problems.
If you try a new product with this ingredient on your child, test a small patch of skin on the arm first and wait 24 hours. Use products made for children when possible, and avoid getting the product in the eyes or mouth. If your child has eczema or very sensitive skin, choose products marked for sensitive skin and check with your child’s doctor if you’re unsure.
Industry safety reviewers (Cosmetic Ingredient Review) note a low chance of skin or eye irritation and recommend it be used at safe concentrations and formulated to avoid irritation. Stop use and rinse well if you see redness, itching, swelling, blistering, or eye irritation. If a reaction is severe or doesn’t go away, contact your pediatrician.
