6-12 month old babies • Skin contact product
For babies 6–12 months, this is a cleansing soap ingredient that is usually low risk. It’s safest in products you rinse off during bath time. It may dry or irritate very sensitive baby skin if left on.
Use products that rinse off (body wash or soap) and avoid leave-on lotions or wipes that list this near the top of the ingredient list. Choose baby-formulated cleansers, rinse well, and pat skin dry. If your baby has very dry or eczema-prone skin, pick a cleanser labeled for sensitive or eczema-prone skin and use less often.
Watch for redness, stinging, dry patches, or a rash after use and stop using the product if these appear. Don’t use on broken or irritated skin. Note: industry review panels (Cosmetic Ingredient Review) mention limits on how this ingredient is used and manufacturers sometimes must follow specific concentration or manufacturing guidelines—this is why some product certification programs limit its use. If you’re concerned, pick a product that is specifically formulated and tested for babies.
