ℹ️General Overview
For school-age kids (5 years and older), Sodium Lauryl Sulfoacetate is a mild cleanser found in shampoos and body washes. Used as a rinse-off ingredient it is low risk for most children.
✅What to Do

⚠️Warnings
Watch for skin redness, itching, or stinging after use—this would indicate irritation or an allergic reaction (source: industry safety reviews and cosmetic safety guidance from Cosmetic Ingredient Review). Some industry guidance recommends limits on concentration and certain manufacturing controls, and a few product verification programs restrict use unless manufacturers provide supporting safety information (source: Cosmetic Ingredient Review; product verification program guidance). A government assessment found it not expected to be toxic or to build up in the body, and not persistent in the environment (source: Environment Canada).
