6-12 month old babies • Skin contact product
For babies 6–12 months, this ingredient is usually low risk when included in wash-off products like baby shampoo or bodywash. It can sometimes cause mild irritation in very sensitive skin.
Use products made for babies, especially rinse-off products. Rinse your baby well after washing. Do a small patch test (a bit behind the ear or on the inner forearm) before regular use. If your baby has eczema or very sensitive skin, choose hypoallergenic or pediatrician-recommended products and talk to your doctor first.
Stop use and rinse well if you see redness, rash, stinging, or eye irritation. Safety reviews note possible mild irritation and recommend it be formulated at safe concentrations (source: Cosmetic Ingredient Review). Also be aware that some product verification programs restrict use of this ingredient unless the maker provides safety data — look for baby-safe labels and check product ingredient lists.
