ℹ️General Overview

For kids 5 and older (school-age children), this is usually gentle and safe when used in rinsing products like shampoos and washes. It’s a mild cleansing ingredient and most children won’t have problems with it.

What to Do

Use products made for children or gentle cleansers that list this ingredient. Use it mainly in rinse-off products (shampoos, body wash). Keep the product away from the eyes, rinse well if it gets in them, and stop use if skin becomes red or itchy. If your child has very sensitive skin or eczema, try a small patch test on the arm first.

Avoid getting products with this ingredient into the eyes. If you see persistent redness, stinging, swelling, or any worrying reaction, rinse thoroughly and seek medical advice.
