Could Putting Hair Conditioner Bottle In Mouth Effect Health?

My grandson put the hair conditioner bottle in his mouth. His mom was right there and removed it and washed his mouth out. She is concerned that she might not have gotten it all. He is 15 months old and it was Aussie Moisturizing brand. She didn't want to read horror stories so I am trying to get an answer for her. Should she be concerned or take further action? Thank you.

Pediatrician,  's  Response
Hello. Thank you for your question. This happens very commonly in this age group. Fortunately, there is nothing toxic in these hair conditioners. Though there is a very slight possibility your grandson may experience some mild stomach upset, nothing of real concern is going to happen. There is no need to worry.
