For adults: this is a common cleansing ingredient that is usually safe for skin. It can sometimes cause mild irritation for people with sensitive skin.
Use products with this ingredient as directed. Rinse well, avoid using on broken or very irritated skin, and stop use if you get redness or a rash. If you prefer extra caution, choose brands that test their products for manufacturing impurities or that state they avoid certain impurities.
The main warning comes from concerns about manufacturing impurities (specifically ethylene oxide and 1,4‑dioxane) noted by regulatory reviews and industry safety summaries (for example, Environment Canada and the Cosmetic Ingredient Review). These are not properties of the ingredient itself but can appear if products are not made or tested properly. Look for products that confirm impurity testing or avoid the ingredient if you are concerned.
