ℹ️General Overview

For kids aged 5 and older (school-age children, older children, teens), this ingredient is generally low risk in rinse-off products like shampoos and body washes. Long-term health risks are considered low, but there are specific concerns about possible contamination and some reports of mild skin or eye irritation.

What to Do

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.

⚠️Warnings

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.

Irritant: Lab studies and a European chemical agency report show this surfactant can cause mild skin and eye irritation in some people. That means it may cause redness, stinging, or tearing, especially on very sensitive baby skin or near the eyes.
