For children 5 years and older, this is a mild cleansing ingredient that is generally safe, especially in products that are rinsed off like shampoos, body washes, and cleansing bars.

✅What to Do

Use products with this ingredient for regular washing (shampoo, body wash, foaming cleansers).

If trying a new product, test on a small area first and rinse off if any stinging or redness occurs.

⚠️Warnings

If your child has eczema or very sensitive skin, choose products made for sensitive skin and consider patch testing. Stop use and rinse well if irritation occurs and consult your pediatrician if it continues.
