ℹ️General Overview

For 6–12 month old babies (infants, older babies, crawlers) this is a mild, sugar-based cleanser that is generally safe. Most healthy babies will not have problems, though a few with very sensitive skin may get mild redness or stinging, especially if it gets in the eyes.

What to Do

Use products made for babies that list this ingredient rather than concentrated forms. For skin cleansing or wipes: keep contact brief, rinse well if using on the body during bath time, and avoid rubbing the face near the eyes. Do a small patch test (behind the ear or on the inner forearm) the first time you try a new product. If your baby has very dry, eczema-prone, or broken skin, choose a specially formulated product for sensitive skin or ask your pediatrician first.

⚠️Warnings

Watch for persistent redness, a rash, swelling, or if your baby cries when an area is wiped — these can be signs of irritation. The source of the irritation concern comes from limited reports of skin and eye irritation documented by the European Chemicals Agency and a comparative study on surfactant irritation (2007). If you see irritation, stop use and rinse the area with water; if it doesn't get better or if it looks infected, contact your pediatrician.

Safety Risk Labels

This ingredient has the following documented risks:

Irritant: A regulatory review by a European chemicals agency and a published comparative study of surfactants found limited evidence that this ingredient can irritate skin and eyes. That means it can cause redness, stinging, or rashes on sensitive baby skin or if it gets in the eyes.
Asthma: The same regulatory review and safety notes list possible lung or respiratory irritation (low–moderate concern). This suggests that inhaling sprays or mists containing the ingredient could make breathing or asthma symptoms worse in some children.
