For school-age children (5+ years), sucrose laurate is a gentle cleansing ingredient used in many shampoos and washes. It is generally considered safe for topical use on children and is not thought to cause long-term harm at the levels normally used in products.
Use products that contain this ingredient as directed. Before full use, try a small patch test on the inside of the child’s arm and wait 24 hours to check for any reaction. Avoid using on broken or very irritated skin and keep products away from the eyes. For children with known sensitive skin, choose products labeled for sensitive skin and rinse thoroughly.
Stop use and rinse with water if you see redness, swelling, blistering, itching, or any new rash. If your child swallows a product, contact a medical professional or poison control. These cautions come from publicly available cosmetic safety listings and the ingredient’s safety profile; although overall concerns for cancer, allergy and reproductive harm are rated low, individual children can still react and should be watched closely.
