Ingredients Analysis (17 found)

Triethanolamine
⚠️5/10
Safety information not properly formatted for easy understanding
Immune system - Multiple safety reviews note that triethanolamine shows evidence of immune and allergy effects in people, including reports of immune system or allergy concerns and respiratory allergic reactions (noted by cosmetic safety reviewers and occupational health assessments). This means it can affect the immune response in children who are exposed.
Irritant - A cosmetic safety review found strong evidence that triethanolamine is a human skin toxicant or allergen. That means it can cause skin redness, itching, or rashes—especially on sensitive or young skin.
Asthma - An occupational health review lists triethanolamine as a human respiratory toxicant or allergen, so inhalation or skin exposure may worsen breathing problems or trigger asthma-like responses in sensitive children.
Eczema - Because triethanolamine is reported as a skin allergen/toxicant, it can trigger or worsen eczema and similar skin conditions in babies and children prone to eczema.
Organ Risk - A national environmental agency classifies triethanolamine as expected to be toxic or harmful to non-reproductive organs, and regulatory toxicology notes animal studies showing effects at moderate doses. Repeated or high exposures could harm organs such as the liver or kidneys.
Banned - Cosmetic safety reviews and regional cosmetic rules place limits on how this ingredient may be used and at what concentrations, and some regulations restrict its use in certain products. This means some countries impose legal use or concentration limits.
Cancer - There is a high-listed concern about contamination with nitrosamines (a class of chemicals linked to cancer). While the ingredient itself is not judged likely to cause cancer, the potential for nitrosamine contamination raises a cancer-related risk from impurities.
Confidence: HIGH
Stearamide AMP
⚠️4/10
Cannot understand what Stearamide AMP is it might be a misreading or a typo as it is not a recognized cosmetic ingredient
Confidence: HIGH
Disodium EDTA
3/10
For toddlers (1–2 years): usually low risk when used at the small amounts found in normal skin cleansers and lotions. The main concern is skin or eye irritation, and it can make it easier for other ingredients to pass through the skin, so be careful with young children.
Confidence: HIGH
Petrolatum
3/10
Purified white petrolatum is generally safe for toddlers (1–2 years) when used as a thin, protective layer on small areas of skin.
Confidence: MEDIUM
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
Dimethicone
2/10
For toddlers (1-2 years), dimethicone is usually safe on the skin. It helps protect and lock in moisture and is commonly used in baby creams and diaper creams. Serious health risks are considered low, but there are some concerns about impurities and environmental persistence raised by government and safety reviewers.
Confidence: MEDIUM
Caprylyl Glycol
1/10
For toddlers (1-2 years) Caprylyl Glycol is generally low risk. It’s used to help moisturize skin and to boost preservation. Most children won’t have problems, but a small number can get skin irritation or an allergic reaction.
No Known Risk - Government and industry safety reviews found no clear health hazards for skin use. Tests say it is not likely to build up in the body, not persistent in the environment, and not harmful to organs. Industry reviewers do note limits on how much can be used and some data gaps, but overall the ingredient is rated low concern for topical use.
Confidence: HIGH
Carbomer
1/10
For a 1-2 year old toddler, Carbomer (a common thickener in lotions and wipes) is generally considered safe for topical use. It’s not linked to cancer or developmental problems at usual levels, but there are some manufacturing-related contamination worries and a small chance of irritation.
Confidence: MEDIUM
Cetearyl Alcohol
1/10
For toddlers and young children (1-2 years) cetearyl alcohol is usually safe when applied to the skin. It is a moisturizing, non-greasy ingredient used in lotions and creams and has a low reported risk in safety reviews.
Confidence: HIGH
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
Glyceryl Stearate
1/10
For toddlers (1–2 years) glyceryl stearate is generally safe. It helps creams and wipes feel smooth and usually does not cause serious problems. Most experts say the chance of long-term harm or cancer is very low.
Confidence: HIGH
Glycol Stearate
1/10
For toddlers (1–2 years old): glycol stearate is commonly used in creams and shampoos to make them smooth. Health risks for children this age are low when it is used in normal amounts in products made for babies or toddlers.
Confidence: HIGH
Isopropyl Isostearate
1/10
For toddlers (1–2 years), Isopropyl Isostearate is generally low risk when used on the skin. It is an emollient (skin softener) with few safety concerns in standard amounts.
No Known Risk - Reviewed safety assessments by an industry safety panel and a government chemical review found only low-level concerns (for cancer, allergies, development, and irritation). The industry review says the ingredient is safe in cosmetics when used with limits; the government review found it is not expected to harm organs or to build up in the body. There are some data gaps and the safety review used related chemicals in places, but no higher-than-low hazards were identified.
Confidence: MEDIUM
Magnesium Aluminum Silicate
1/10
For toddlers (1-2 years old) — also called babies, little ones, or young children — this clay-like ingredient is usually low risk when used on the skin in normal creams, lotions or cleansers. It’s mainly a thickener and is not linked to cancer or fertility problems at typical use levels. The biggest concern is irritation if the product creates dust or is inhaled.
No Known Risk - Independent safety reviews and government assessments (Environment Canada and an industry safety review) find this ingredient is not expected to be toxic to organs, not likely to build up in the body, and show only low concern for cancer, allergies, or reproductive harm. A European chemicals agency notes limited evidence of respiratory irritation, but that finding is minor. Overall, no health hazards above a low level were identified for typical topical use.
Confidence: HIGH
Stearic Acid
1/10
For toddlers (1–2 years), stearic acid is usually safe in small amounts in creams or lotions. It helps products feel smooth and stay mixed, and most children won’t have problems from it.
Confidence: HIGH
Tapioca Starch
0/10
Tapioca starch (a plant powder) is generally safe for toddlers (1–2 years) when used on the skin in creams, lotions, or wipes. It is low risk for cancer, allergies, and developmental problems.
Confidence: HIGH
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
