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

Use products that rinse off (shampoos, body washes). Rinse your child thoroughly after use. If your child has sensitive skin or eczema, pick products made for sensitive skin and do a small patch test first. Avoid products that leave this ingredient on the skin (leave-on creams) for children.

⚠️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).
