Ingredients Analysis (17 found)

Chlorphenesin

⚠️4/10

For toddlers (1-2 years), chlorphenesin is a preservative sometimes used in wipes, creams and bath products. It is generally low-to-moderate risk but can irritate sensitive skin or cause allergic reactions in some young children.

Immune system - Moderate evidence shows chlorphenesin can cause skin allergy and immune effects in people and animals, as found by the Cosmetic Ingredient Review and supporting animal studies.

Irritant - There is limited to moderate evidence that chlorphenesin can irritate skin, eyes, and the respiratory tract, based on assessments from a European chemical agency and the Cosmetic Ingredient Review.

Organ Risk - A European chemicals authority has classified chlorphenesin as potentially toxic or harmful to non-reproductive organs, indicating a real organ-health concern despite differing views from other agencies.

Banned - Use of chlorphenesin is restricted or prohibited for some cosmetic uses under rules set by the Japan Ministry of Health, showing it is limited by regulators in at least one country.

Builds Up - A published review flagged chlorphenesin as persistent and bioaccumulative with moderate-to-high toxicity potential, which means it may stay in the body or environment over time.

Environmental - Some scientific review raised concerns about persistence and toxicity to people and the environment, indicating possible environmental harm even though some agencies did not find the same risk.

Eczema - Because there is moderate evidence that chlorphenesin can cause skin allergy and irritation in people, it may trigger or worsen eczema and other sensitive-skin conditions.

Asthma - Limited evidence of respiratory irritation suggests chlorphenesin could make breathing problems or asthma worse in sensitive children.

Long-Term Risk - Given reports of persistence, bioaccumulation, and moderate toxicity, there is a plausible risk of long-term health effects after repeated or long-term exposure.

Confidence: MEDIUM

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

Acacia Senegal Gum

✅2/10

For toddlers (1–2 years): Usually safe when used on the skin in small amounts. The main issue is that some people can get a skin allergy or irritation from this gum. It is not linked to cancer or reproductive harm in the reviewed studies.

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

Tridecane

✅2/10

For toddlers (1–2 years old), tridecane used on the skin is probably low risk in small amounts. It is a common solvent/fragrance ingredient and is not linked to cancer or strong allergy signals in available data. Still, one agency has flagged a possible concern for development or reproduction in people, so we use extra caution with young children.

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

Cetyl Alcohol

✅1/10

For toddlers (1–2 years), cetyl alcohol is usually safe. It helps creams feel smooth and rarely causes problems. Most children won’t have any reaction, but kids with very sensitive skin or eczema may be more likely to react.

Confidence: HIGH

Dipotassium Glycyrrhizate

✅1/10

For toddlers (1-2 years) this ingredient is generally low risk when used on the skin. It’s a licorice-derived ingredient that soothes and helps keep skin moist. At normal amounts used in creams and wipes it rarely causes harm.

No Known Risk - Available safety reviews report only low-level concerns and find the ingredient safe for skin use when kept at low concentrations and with limits on impurities. The industry safety panel also assumes low skin absorption. The provided data does not show any higher-level risks (like harm to organs, hormones, brain development, cancer, or asthma) for normal topical use.

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

Glyceryl Stearate Citrate

✅1/10

For toddlers (1–2 years), this ingredient is generally safe at the low levels used in most lotions, creams and wipes. It helps creams feel smooth and keeps oil and water mixed together. Reviews from cosmetic safety panels report low concerns overall, though they note limited data.

No Known Risk - A cosmetic safety review concluded this ingredient is safe for use in cosmetics when kept below set concentration limits and assuming low skin absorption. Reviewers did note some missing safety data and that assessments relied on related chemicals, and animal tests showed irritation only at moderate doses. Taken together, reviewers did not identify any health hazards above a low level for normal topical use.

Confidence: HIGH

Glyceryl Stearate SE

✅1/10

For toddlers (1-2 years old) Glyceryl Stearate SE is considered very low risk when used in normal baby or children’s skin products. It’s commonly used to help creams and lotions mix and feel smooth and is not thought to cause cancer or lasting harm at the levels used in finished products.

Confidence: HIGH

Stearyl Alcohol

✅1/10

For toddlers (1-2 years old), stearyl alcohol in creams and lotions is usually safe when used in normal baby products. It helps make products feel smooth and stay on the skin. Most of the bigger health risks have been assessed as low, but it can irritate the skin, eyes, or breathing in some children.

Confidence: HIGH

Undecane

✅1/10

Undecane is generally low risk for toddlers (1-2 years) when used on the skin. Studies and government reviews find little concern for cancer, allergic reactions, or effects on growth. It is not known to stay in the body.

Confidence: MEDIUM

Xanthan Gum

✅1/10

For toddlers (1–2 years), xanthan gum used on the skin is generally safe. It’s a common ingredient in baby wipes, lotions and creams and usually does not cause irritation or allergy.

No Known Risk - Safety reviews and regulatory assessments find no health hazards above a low level for topical use. It is approved for limited use in food, classified as not expected to be toxic and a low human-health priority, and not suspected to be an environmental toxin. Cosmetic industry reviewers note only guidance on concentrations or purity. Because no concern was rated above low, no specific risks were identified for babies or children.

Confidence: HIGH

Lauryl Laurate

✅1/10

For toddlers (1-2 years old), Lauryl Laurate is usually safe in skin products. It’s used to moisturize and condition skin and is not linked to cancer or growth problems in safety reviews. The main concern is mild skin or eye irritation in some people.

No Known Risk - A formal cosmetic safety review found this ingredient safe for use in personal care products when used at normal levels. Health checks showed only low-level concerns for cancer, reproductive harm, and allergies, and use limits are set by the reviewers. Data on skin or eye irritation is limited but not shown to be a clear problem. Because no health concern above low was identified, there are no known risks for typical topical use.

Confidence: MEDIUM

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.
