Can older babies use Lauryl Hydroxysultaine?
ℹ️General Overview
For a baby aged 6–12 months (older infant), this ingredient is considered low risk based on government and industry reviews. It’s commonly used as a gentle cleanser in shampoos and washes and is not expected to be toxic or to build up in the body. Still, direct studies in babies are limited, so care is advised.
✅What to Do
Prefer products made for babies and labeled as gentle or for sensitive skin; choose rinse-off products (like baby shampoo or body wash) rather than leave-on products that contain this ingredient; do a small patch test on your baby’s arm and wait 24 hours before regular use; rinse the product well and avoid getting it in the eyes or mouth; stop use and rinse immediately if you see redness, rash, swelling, or fussiness after use and contact your pediatrician.
⚠️Warnings
Watch for skin irritation, redness, rash, or any breathing trouble after use and stop using the product if these occur. Government review (Environment Canada) classifies this ingredient as not expected to be toxic, and industry reviewers (Cosmetic Ingredient Review) note recommendations or restrictions on how it’s used — so some products may limit its concentration or require extra testing. Avoid using products with this ingredient on broken or inflamed skin and avoid frequent long-contact use until you confirm your baby tolerates it.
