Glycyrrhiza Glabra Root Extract

⚠️4/10

For toddlers (1–2 years) licorice root extract applied to the skin is usually low risk at the small amounts found in most creams and lotions, but there are some moderate concerns from studies showing effects on hormones and on the liver and heart with higher exposure.

Hormones - Multiple human and animal studies show licorice root can change hormone signals. A 2017 toxicology review found strong evidence that it can disrupt the human adrenal system, and other reviews report human-level hormone effects.

Confuse Hormones - Studies report that licorice components can act like or block hormones — for example limited evidence of estrogen-like activity and moderate evidence of anti-androgen effects in people and animals (see the 1997 estrogen study and a 2012 update on plant anti-androgens).

Fertility - There is moderate evidence linking licorice to reproductive harm: a toxicology review and animal studies report effects on the male reproductive system and other reproductive/developmental concerns.

Organ Risk - Reviews link licorice to non-reproductive organ harm, especially the liver, and note possible cardiovascular effects (see the 2017 toxicology review and a 2019 paper on licorice and the cardiovascular system).

Immune system - Animal studies show immune or allergy-related effects at low to moderate doses, indicating a real risk of immune reactions for some people (see a 2018 phytochemical and pharmacological review).

Irritant - Cosmetic safety reviewers report limited evidence that licorice root extract can irritate skin or eyes, so it can cause redness or irritation for sensitive skin.

Confidence: MEDIUM

Chamomilla Recutita Flower Extract

✅3/10

This chamomile extract is usually gentle and often used to calm skin. For toddlers (1-2 years) it is mostly safe, but a small number of people can get skin allergies or sensitivities.

No Known Risk - Major safety reviews find only low or unclear concerns. A cosmetic safety panel says this chamomile extract is generally safe in products when used with limits, and the European chemicals agency notes only limited evidence of skin allergy. A few small human studies and a review reported unclear (equivocal) findings for nerve or pregnancy effects, but the data are not strong. No health concern here is rated above low.

Confidence: HIGH

Phenoxyethanol

✅3/10

For toddlers (1–2 years) phenoxyethanol is usually safe in skin products when used at the low levels manufacturers follow (around 1% or less). It helps prevent germs in creams and lotions. The main issue is that it can sometimes cause skin irritation or, rarely, allergic reactions.

Confidence: HIGH

Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Extract

✅2/10

For toddlers (1-2 years): generally low risk when used on the skin in normal lotions, wipes, or creams. It is used to soothe and hydrate but can rarely irritate sensitive skin.

Confidence: MEDIUM

Calendula Officinalis Flower Extract

✅2/10

For toddlers (1–2 years) calendula flower extract is generally safe when used on the skin in normal baby or child products. Serious risks are rare. The main concern is that some children who are allergic to plants in the daisy family may get a contact rash.

No Known Risk - Safety reviews for this calendula flower extract show only low-level concerns for cancer, allergies, and effects on growth/reproduction. Industry safety panels note limits on how much can be used and say some data are missing, but there is no clear evidence of real harm when used on the skin. Some verified product programs restrict its use unless makers provide extra safety information.

Confidence: HIGH

Citric Acid

✅2/10

For toddlers (1-2 years), citric acid in normal skin products is usually safe at the low levels used. It helps control product pH and keep products stable. The biggest concern is skin or eye irritation, not long-term disease.

Confidence: HIGH

Decyl Glucoside

✅2/10

For toddlers (1-2 years): generally low risk in gentle, rinse-off baby and toddler cleansers. Most children tolerate it well, but some can get irritation or an allergic rash, especially children with eczema or very sensitive skin.

Confidence: HIGH

Sodium Benzoate

✅2/10

For toddlers (1–2 years old) sodium benzoate is usually low risk when used in small amounts in wipes, lotions or shampoos made for children. It helps prevent germs in products, but can sometimes bother sensitive skin.

Confidence: MEDIUM

Tocopheryl Acetate

✅2/10

Usually fine for toddlers’ skin at normal amounts, but a few kids may get a rash.

Confidence: MEDIUM

Glycerin

✅1/10

For toddlers (1-2 years), glycerin is commonly used and considered low risk when included in normal baby products like lotions, wipes, and diaper creams. It helps skin stay hydrated and is rarely a problem.

Confidence: HIGH

Sodium Bicarbonate

✅1/10

Safety information not properly formatted for easy understanding

No Known Risk - Government and industry safety reviews find no clear hazards for normal topical use. The U.S. FDA allows limited food uses; Environment Canada says it is not expected to be toxic or to build up in the body; an industry safety panel notes some data gaps and sets safe use limits but does not identify a health risk when used as intended. Based on these assessments, there are no known health risks for typical topical use.

Confidence: HIGH

Sodium Citrate

✅1/10

For toddlers (1–2 years), sodium citrate in small amounts in wipes or lotions is generally safe. It is low risk for serious harm but can sometimes cause mild irritation, especially on broken or very sensitive skin.

No Known Risk - Reviewed safety information shows only low-level concerns. U.S. food regulators say it is allowed for some food uses, a cosmetic safety panel notes allowed limits and some data gaps but does not show hazards at normal use, and a national environment agency finds it unlikely to harm organs, build up in the body, or persist in the environment. Because no health concern was reported above low, there are no specific risks identified for typical topical use.

Confidence: HIGH

Cucumis Sativus Fruit Extract

✅1/10

Cucumis Sativus is cucumber extract commonly used for soothing and moisturizing skin generally safe for baby topical use

No Known Risk - Cucumber extract is generally considered safe for topical use, including on baby skin. There is no strong evidence linking it to irritation, allergies, or any of the listed health risks in babies. It is commonly used in baby skincare products without reported adverse effects.

Confidence: HIGH

Tetrasodium Glutamaate Diacetate

✅1/10

Tetrasodium Glutamaate Diacetate is a chelating agent used to improve stability and safety of formulations. It is generally safe in topical baby products like wipes.

Confidence: HIGH

Purified Water

✅0/10

Water is very safe for toddlers (1-2 years old) to have on their skin. It is the main base in wipes and baby lotions and is not considered harmful when used as intended.

No Known Risk - Regulatory reviews (Environment Canada) find plain water is not expected to be toxic, not bioaccumulative, and not an environmental toxin. Safety summaries list no concerns above a low level for organ harm, reproductive effects, or other long‑term risks for topical use, so no specific health risks are identified for use on skin.

Confidence: HIGH
