Long-term health risks are considered low, but there are specific concerns about possible contamination and some reports of mild skin or eye irritation.
Use products with this ingredient mainly as rinse-off cleaners (shampoo, body wash). Rinse well and avoid leaving the product on the skin. Choose products labeled mild, tear-free, or for sensitive skin when possible. If your child has eczema or very sensitive skin, try a patch test first or pick a product without this ingredient.
A public ingredient safety listing flags contamination/impurity concerns (this is the main worry) and notes limited evidence of skin or eye irritation. Watch for redness, stinging, swelling, rash, or watering eyes after use. If any of these occur, stop use and rinse well; see a doctor if symptoms persist. Also avoid using products containing this ingredient on broken or inflamed skin and keep products away from infants and very young babies.
