For a 6–12 month old baby, this ingredient is usually gentle and considered low risk when used in baby products. It’s a mild cleanser found in washes and wipes and is not expected to cause long-term harm.
Choose products made for babies or labeled ‘gentle’ and follow product directions. Rinse away soap from your baby’s face and eyes. Do a quick patch check on a small area (inner forearm or thigh) before using a new product widely. If your baby has eczema or very sensitive skin, pick products made for sensitive skin and ask your pediatrician if you’re unsure.
Watch for any redness, rash, swelling, or stinging — stop use if these appear. Avoid using on broken or raw skin and keep the product out of your baby’s eyes. The Cosmetic Ingredient Review notes that this ingredient should be used in formulas that avoid irritation, and Environment Canada evaluated it as not expected to be toxic or to build up in the environment.
