For a 6–12 month old baby (older infant), this ingredient is generally safe in rinse-off cleansers and baby shampoos. It’s a mild cleanser and has low concern for cancer, allergies, or growth/reproductive problems.
Use products made for babies that list this ingredient (like gentle shampoos or wash). Rinse well, keep the product out of your baby’s eyes, and do a quick patch check on a small area of skin if your baby has very sensitive skin. Stop use if you see redness, rash, swelling, or the baby seems uncomfortable. For severe or spreading reactions, contact your pediatrician.
Safety reviews (Cosmetic Ingredient Review) say it’s safe with some use limits, but the European Chemicals Agency notes limited evidence of eye irritation. Because of that, avoid getting products with this ingredient in your baby’s eyes, don’t use concentrated forms directly on skin, and watch for any signs of irritation. Also be aware that some product certification programs restrict use of ingredients unless manufacturers provide documentation.
