Ingredients Analysis (19 found)

Cananga Odorata Flower Oil

🚨6/10

Ylang ylang is a fragrant essential oil that can cause skin irritation or allergic reactions in young children. Use with caution in topical baby products.

Irritant - Ylang Ylang Oil contains compounds that can cause skin irritation, redness, or rashes, especially on sensitive baby skin.

Asthma - Essential oils like Ylang Ylang can trigger respiratory symptoms or worsen asthma in sensitive children when inhaled or applied topically.

Confidence: HIGH

Juniperus Virginiana Oil

🚨6/10

For toddlers (1–2 years), this cedarwood-type essential oil can cause skin allergy or irritation. It is safer than using it on newborns, but it can still cause rashes or sensitivity in young children, so treat it with caution.

Immune system - This oil is listed as a known human allergen by the EU Cosmetics Directive. That means it can trigger immune reactions such as allergic contact responses in some people, which is a real risk for sensitive children.

Irritant - Because it is recognized as a human allergen (EU Cosmetics Directive), it can cause skin irritation like redness, itching, or rashes—especially on baby or sensitive skin.

Eczema - Being a known allergen makes this oil able to start or make eczema and similar skin conditions worse in sensitive children, according to the EU Cosmetics Directive listing.

Organ Risk - Environment Canada classifies this substance as expected to be toxic or harmful to non-reproductive organ systems. That means repeated or heavy exposure could harm organs (for example liver, kidneys, or lungs).

Environmental - Environment Canada suspects this oil is an environmental toxin. That indicates it may cause harm to wildlife or ecosystems if released into the environment.

Confidence: HIGH

Water Aqua Eau

⚠️5/10

Water Aqua Eau is simply water used as a solvent and base in baby shampoos and bodywash. It is very safe and essential for formulation.

Confidence: HIGH

Vanillin

✅3/10

For toddlers (1–2 years) vanillin is usually low risk, but it can cause skin sensitivity or allergic rashes in some children. Most toddlers won’t react, but because skin can be sensitive at this age, a little caution is sensible.

Confidence: HIGH

Benzyl Acetate

✅2/10

For a toddler (1-2 years), benzyl acetate is probably low risk when used occasionally in small amounts. It is a fragrance ingredient and is not thought to cause cancer or build up in the body. However, a national toxicology program has noted a small concern about possible hormone effects.

No Known Risk - Major health agencies that reviewed benzyl acetate report no strong health dangers for normal use on the skin. One agency found it is not likely to cause cancer in people. Another agency says it is not expected to be harmful to organs, does not build up in the body, and does not persist in the environment. The U.S. food safety agency allows limited use in food. Taken together, these reviews show no clear, higher-level risks for children from typical topical use.

Confidence: MEDIUM

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

Coco Glucoside

✅2/10

For toddlers (1–2 years), Coco‑Glucoside is generally safe. It is a gentle cleanser found in baby and children’s shampoos, body washes, and wipes. Most children do fine with it, but a few can get irritation or an allergic rash.

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

Sodium Dehydroacetate

✅2/10

For toddlers (1–2 years), this preservative is usually low risk when used in products made for babies or young children and used as directed. It rarely causes irritation or allergy. Some government and scientific reviews note possible hormone-related effects seen in animal tests at higher doses, so we keep use cautious.

Confidence: HIGH

Triethyl Citrate

✅2/10

For toddlers (1-2 years) Triethyl Citrate is usually low risk for serious long-term problems, but it can cause allergic skin reactions in some children.

Confidence: HIGH

Anisaldehyde

✅1/10

For toddlers (1–2 years) Anisaldehyde is likely low risk for skin use. Official assessments say it poses low concern for cancer, allergies, or long-term buildup, and it is allowed in limited food uses.

No Known Risk - Health and safety assessments from multiple agencies found no issues above low concern: a Canadian review says it is not expected to be harmful to body organs and is not persistent or likely to build up in the body; a European agency did not flag wildlife or environmental toxicity; and the U.S. food agency allows limited food use. Because no higher concerns were identified, there are no known health risks based on these reviews.

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

Glycolipids

✅1/10

For toddlers (1-2 years), glycolipids are usually gentle and safe. They are mild ingredients often used to help clean or mix ingredients in creams and washes. The ingredient data used for this review shows only low concerns for things like cancer or allergies.

No Known Risk - Available safety information for topical use shows only low-level concerns (cancer, allergies/immunity, and reproductive/developmental) and no ingredient-specific hazards or restrictions above low. In short, no real risks were identified in the current assessment.

Confidence: HIGH

Guar Hydroxypropyltrimonium Chloride

✅1/10

This ingredient is generally safe for toddlers (1-2 years) when used in rinse-off products like baby or toddler shampoo and body wash. Overall risk is low, but young children have more sensitive skin and eyes.

Confidence: HIGH

Magnesium Chloride

✅1/10

For 1–2 year olds (toddlers), magnesium chloride is generally safe to use on the skin in the small amounts found in wipes, lotions or creams. Safety listings show very low concern and it is a common mineral salt.

No Known Risk - Government reviews find no meaningful hazards for magnesium chloride. The U.S. FDA lists it as safe for certain food uses, and Environment Canada says it is not expected to be toxic, is a low human-health priority, is not likely to build up in the body, and is not an environmental toxin. Common concern areas (cancer, allergies, reproductive/development) are rated low. Based on these findings, no specific health risks are identified for topical use.

Confidence: HIGH

Sodium Gluconate

✅1/10

For toddlers (1-2 years), sodium gluconate is generally safe in normal skin products. It is a mild, non-staining ingredient used to keep formulas stable and is considered low risk by several health agencies.

Confidence: HIGH

Sodium Lauroyl Lactylate

✅1/10

For toddlers (1-2 years old), this ingredient is usually safe when it’s used in small amounts in everyday creams, wipes, and shampoos. It’s a gentle cleaning and mixing ingredient.

No Known Risk - Cosmetic safety reviews note only low-level concerns for this topical ingredient. Experts recommend limits on concentration and monitoring impurities, and some product-verification programs require extra proof before they allow it, but no moderate or high health hazards were identified for typical topical use on children.

Confidence: HIGH

Squalane

✅1/10

For toddlers (1-2 years) squalane is generally safe and gentle. It’s a common moisturizing oil that rarely causes irritation and is used in baby lotions and wipes.
