For a 6–12 month old baby, this is a very mild cleanser used in baby washes and shampoos. Overall it is low risk when used in baby products, but it can sometimes bother the eyes.
Use products made for infants and follow the product directions. Keep wash or shampoo away from your baby’s eyes, rinse well if it gets into their face, and gently pat the skin dry. If you want extra caution, choose products labeled for newborns or sensitive skin and avoid leaving cleansing products on the skin for long periods.
