For grown-ups: this is a mild cleanser ingredient and is generally safe for adult skin when used in normal cleansers and body washes.
Use products that contain this ingredient as the label directs. Avoid getting the product in your eyes; rinse well if it does. If you have very sensitive skin, try a small patch test on the inner forearm before regular use. Stop use and rinse if you get redness, stinging, or swelling, and see a doctor if symptoms are severe or don’t go away.
Watch for signs of irritation (redness, burning, stinging, or eye irritation). The Cosmetic Ingredient Review notes possible skin/eye/respiratory irritation in some people, so avoid prolonged contact with eyes or inhaling sprays. Environment Canada’s assessment did not find reasons for long-term environmental or systemic toxicity, but if you have a history of skin allergies or very sensitive skin, consult a dermatologist before use.
