5+ year old children • Skin contact product
For kids 5 and older this is a common soap ingredient used to clean skin. It is usually low risk because it is rinsed off, but it can dry or irritate sensitive skin.
Use products with this ingredient mainly as rinsed-off cleansers (soaps, body washes, shampoo). Do a small patch test on the arm if your child has sensitive skin. Rinse well, moisturize after washing, and prefer products labeled for children or gentle skin. Stop use if you see redness, itching, or persistent dryness.
Watch for dryness, redness, stinging, or itching — these are signs of irritation. Avoid use on broken or irritated skin and keep away from the eyes. The safety listing for this ingredient notes that some product verification programs restrict its use unless manufacturers provide extra safety information, and industry reviewers note gaps in data about safe concentration limits. If irritation is severe or does not go away, see your child's doctor.
