Can older babies use Sodium Lauroamphoacetate?
ℹ️General Overview
For babies aged 6–12 months this ingredient is generally gentle and low risk when used in rinse-off baby products (like gentle washes or wipes). But some safety reports note possible contamination with an impurity and a small chance of skin or eye irritation, so extra care is reasonable for infants.
✅What to Do
Use products made for infants and from reputable brands that test for impurities. Prefer rinse-off cleansers rather than leave-on products. Keep the product away from your baby’s eyes and avoid applying to sore or broken skin. When trying a new product, do a small patch test on the baby’s inner forearm and wait 24 hours to watch for redness or a rash.
⚠️Warnings
Stop use and rinse well if you see redness, swelling, rash, or watery eyes. Reports behind these warnings point to impurity/contamination concerns (an impurity named aminoethylethanolamine has been noted in ingredient safety reports and allergen studies) and limited evidence of skin or eye irritation from surfactant irritation studies and regulatory agency notes. If your baby has a history of eczema, very sensitive skin, or known chemical sensitivities, choose products that explicitly avoid this ingredient and speak with your pediatrician if unsure.
