For adults: Disodium cocoyl glutamate is a gentle cleansing ingredient that is generally safe to use on skin. It poses very low risk for cancer, allergy, or effects on reproduction. A small number of reports show it can cause mild skin or eye irritation in some people.
Use products that contain it as directed. If you have sensitive skin, test a small area first. Avoid getting the product in your eyes; if it gets into eyes, rinse well with water. Do not apply to broken or badly irritated skin. Prefer products formulated for sensitive skin if you are prone to irritation.
Watch for redness, stinging, swelling, or eye irritation. If you notice these signs, stop using the product and rinse the area with water; seek medical advice if symptoms are severe or do not improve. These cautions come from safety reviews by the Cosmetic Ingredient Review panel and the European Chemicals Agency, which note limited evidence of irritation and recommend use within normal cosmetic concentration limits.
