Ingredients Analysis (32 found)

Menthol
🚨6/10
For 1–2 year olds (toddlers): menthol can cool skin and smell strong, but it may cause skin irritation or allergic reactions in some children and its fumes can bother breathing. Because of that, it is not a good choice for everyday products for toddlers.
Immune system - Menthol is identified as a known human allergen and flagged with strong evidence of human toxicant/allergen by regulatory bodies (EU Cosmetics Directive and the U.S. EPA). That means it can trigger allergic or immune reactions when put on the skin.
Irritant - Regulatory assessments list menthol as a human allergen/toxicant, which is linked to skin reactions like redness, stinging, or contact dermatitis—especially when applied topically to sensitive skin.
Eczema - Because menthol is a recognized human allergen (per the EU cosmetics review and U.S. EPA findings), it can trigger or worsen eczema and similar inflammatory skin conditions in susceptible people.
Confidence: MEDIUM
Retinyl Palmitate
🚨6/10
Retinyl palmitate is a vitamin A derivative with potential skin irritation and toxicity risk for babies likely used as antioxidant
Irritant - Retinyl Palmitate can cause skin irritation, redness, and peeling, especially on sensitive baby skin.
Sun Burn - Retinyl Palmitate may increase skin sensitivity to sunlight, raising the risk of sunburn.
Absorbed - Retinyl Palmitate can be absorbed through the skin and enter the bloodstream.
Cancer - Some studies suggest that Retinyl Palmitate may speed up the development of skin tumors when exposed to sunlight, though evidence is mixed.
Confidence: HIGH
Citrus Grandis Peel Oil
🚨6/10
Citrus Paradisi Peel Oil is grapefruit peel oil which can cause skin irritation and photosensitivity in babies likely used for fragrance
Irritant - Grapefruit peel oil contains limonene and other citrus compounds that can cause skin irritation, especially on sensitive baby skin.
Sun Burn - Grapefruit peel oil contains furanocoumarins, which can increase photosensitivity and the risk of sunburn when applied topically.
Confidence: HIGH
Citrus Aurantium Dulcis Peel Oil
⚠️5/10
Citrus Aurantium Dulcis Peel Oil is orange peel oil which may cause skin irritation or sensitization in babies often used for fragrance
Irritant - Orange peel oil contains limonene and other citrus compounds that can cause skin irritation, especially on sensitive baby skin.
Sun Burn - Orange peel oil can increase photosensitivity, making skin more prone to sunburn when exposed to sunlight.
Confidence: HIGH
Methylparaben
⚠️4/10
For toddlers (1-2 years): methylparaben is commonly used to prevent germs in lotions and creams. Most products use it in small amounts and risk is generally low, but some studies and regulatory reviews have raised concerns about hormone-like effects and a small chance of skin allergy. Toddlers’ skin is more sensitive, so we recommend extra caution.
Hormones - Methylparaben has been found to affect the hormone system. The European Union lists it as a human endocrine disruptor and multiple studies show hormone-like activity, so it may alter normal hormone development in children.
Confuse Hormones - Research and regulatory review note that methylparaben can act like weak hormones in the body. Peer-reviewed studies and regulatory findings show it can mimic or interfere with natural hormone signals.
Immune system - There is moderate evidence that methylparaben can trigger immune or allergic reactions in people. A clinical report found contact urticaria (an allergic skin response), showing it can affect the immune system.
Irritant - Methylparaben has been linked to skin reactions such as contact urticaria. That means it can cause redness, itching, or rashes on sensitive skin, including babies' skin.
Eczema - Because methylparaben can cause allergic skin reactions and contact urticaria, it may trigger or worsen eczema and similar skin conditions in susceptible children.
Banned - Some authorities restrict or limit the use of parabens in certain products. For example, regional regulatory actions and safety opinions have led to limits or bans for use in products for very young children.
Long-Term Risk - Laboratory studies show methylparaben can change gene activity in human cells. Those biochemical changes suggest possible long-term effects with repeated exposure, even if direct outcomes in people are still being studied.
Confidence: HIGH
Methylsulfonylmethane
⚠️4/10
Limited safety data for topical use in babies. Ingredient may be for skin conditioning but not well studied in infants.
No Known Risk - Current research and safety data indicate that methylsulfonylmethane (MSM) is generally well-tolerated when used topically, with no significant evidence linking it to irritation, hormone disruption, cancer, or other health risks in babies. There are no known reports of adverse effects or long-term risks associated with topical use in infants.
Confidence: LOW
Tinctorius Seed Oil
⚠️4/10
Tinctorius Seed Oil is not a recognized cosmetic or baby care ingredient name it may be a misreading or typo possibly referring to a seed oil but unclear
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
White 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
Ascorbyl Palmitate
✅2/10
For toddlers (1–2 years), ascorbyl palmitate is generally low risk when used in small amounts on normal, unbroken skin. However, lab studies show it can increase damaging molecules in skin cells after strong sun (UV-B) exposure, and some product-safety reviewers recommend limits or further safety data.
Confidence: MEDIUM
Cholecalciferol
✅2/10
Safety information not properly formatted for easy understanding
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
PEG-8
✅2/10
PEG-8 is a polyethylene glycol used as a solvent and humectant in topical products. It is generally safe but may cause minor irritation in sensitive baby skin.
Confidence: HIGH
Polymethylsilsesquioxane
✅2/10
For toddlers (1-2 years), this silicone powder is generally low risk when used on the skin. Most safety listings show very low concerns for things like cancer or allergies. The main issue is mild irritation in rare cases, usually only seen at high exposures in animal tests.
No Known Risk - Available safety reviews show no health concerns above a low level. Animal tests noted skin irritation only at high doses in lab studies, and checks for cancer, development, and immune harm were rated low. Some product-verification programs ask for extra proof before allowing this ingredient, but overall no real child health risks were identified.
Confidence: HIGH
Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Juice
✅1/10
For toddlers (1–2 years) aloe vera leaf juice applied to the skin is usually safe. A few children may get redness or an allergic reaction, but overall risk is low when the product is purified and used as intended.
Confidence: MEDIUM
Ascorbic Acid
✅1/10
Vitamin C is safe for topical use in babies and may act as an antioxidant or preservative in baby care products
Confidence: HIGH
Calamine

No Known Risk - Reviewed available safety summaries for hydroxytyrosol as a topical ingredient. No hazards above a low level were identified for skin use, and no ingredient-specific restrictions or organ/system risks were reported. Based on the current safety information, there are no known real risks to babies or children from typical topical use.
Confidence: MEDIUM
Modified Corn Starch
✅1/10
For toddlers (1–2 years), this ingredient is very low risk when used in creams or lotions on healthy skin.
No Known Risk - Current studies show low concern for cancer, allergy, or growth problems with normal skin use. An independent cosmetic safety review panel provides safe-use guidance, and no major harms are seen in typical use.
Confidence: HIGH
Niacinamide
✅1/10
For toddlers (1–2 years) niacinamide is usually safe and gentle. It helps the skin’s barrier and rarely causes irritation when used in creams or lotions made for skin.
No Known Risk - Major government and expert reviews find niacinamide to be low risk for normal topical use. A national environmental health agency classifies it as not expected to be harmful to organs or the environment. The U.S. food regulator allows limited uses in food, and an independent cosmetic safety panel has set recommended concentration limits after review. While a few animal studies at very high doses reported tumor findings and reviewers note some data gaps about maximum ‘as-used’ concentrations, the overall conclusion from these agencies and safety panels is that routine topical use poses no significant known health risks.
Confidence: HIGH
Olea Europaea Fruit Oil
✅1/10
Organic olive oil is generally safe for baby skin moisturization and is commonly used in baby care products
No Known Risk - Olive oil is generally considered safe for topical use on baby skin, with no strong evidence linking it to irritation, eczema, or other health risks in most infants. While some studies suggest it may worsen eczema in predisposed babies, this is not consistent or proven for the general population. There are no known links to hormone disruption, cancer, organ risk, or other listed risks based on current research.
Confidence: HIGH
Tocopherol
✅1/10
For toddlers and young children (1–2 years old), tocopherol (vitamin E) used on the skin is usually safe. It helps protect oils and soften skin. Most children will not have problems, but a small number can get a rash or irritation.
Confidence: HIGH
Zinc Oxide
✅1/10
Zinc oxide is safe for topical use on 1 to 2 year olds. It works by forming a protective barrier and acting as a physical sunscreen. Most babies tolerate it well.
Confidence: HIGH

It is not associated with hormone disruption, cancer, or other long-term health effects according to current research.
Confidence: HIGH
L-taurine
✅1/10
For toddlers (1–2 years), taurine used on the skin is considered low risk. Regulators note it is safe for limited uses and not expected to be toxic. There is limited direct research on skincare use in very young children, so a little caution is wise.
No Known Risk - Government assessments find no meaningful hazards for typical use. A U.S. food safety authority has designated taurine as safe for limited food uses, and a Canadian environmental health agency reports it is not expected to be toxic to organs, not persistent or bioaccumulative, and not an environmental toxin. Reviews of cancer, allergy/immune, and developmental/reproductive concerns rated them low. Based on these official assessments, there are no identified real risks for normal topical use.
Confidence: MEDIUM
N-acetyl-L-cysteine
✅1/10
For toddlers (1–2 years), this ingredient looks low risk when used on the skin in small amounts. The ingredient report shows low concerns for cancer, allergies, and developmental effects. Because research on everyday topical use in toddlers is limited, we recommend cautious use.
No Known Risk - A review of available safety assessments for this topical ingredient found only low-level concerns (for cancer, immune effects, and reproductive/developmental effects) and no higher-risk flags. No bans or special restrictions were identified for topical use. Based on the available evidence, there are no real, supported risks for children from normal topical use.
Confidence: MEDIUM
