Ingredients Analysis (21 found)

1
⚠️5/10
Not evaluated
Confidence: LOW
Piroctone Olamine
⚠️5/10
For toddlers (1-2 years): this ingredient is used to treat dandruff and is generally reviewed as low risk for cancer or developmental harm, but some countries limit or ban its use in cosmetics. Because young children are more sensitive and data is limited for this age, it’s best to be cautious.
Banned - This ingredient is restricted or banned in some countries. European cosmetics rules list limits on its use, and Japan's health authority also limits or forbids it in certain types of cosmetics or sets concentration caps. Because official regulators restrict or prohibit it, products for babies and children may not be allowed to use it or must follow strict limits.
Confidence: HIGH
Benzyl Alcohol
⚠️4/10
For toddlers (1-2 years), benzyl alcohol is commonly used in small amounts in creams and lotions. The biggest concern is that it can cause skin allergies or irritation in some children. At low levels it is often tolerated, but extra care is recommended for young children.
Immune system - Benzyl alcohol is a known human allergen with strong evidence of immune effects. Regulators and scientific reviews list it as an allergenic or immunotoxicant and there are human case reports of allergic reactions, so it can trigger immune responses in children.
Eczema - There are strong reports and regulatory listings showing benzyl alcohol can cause allergic skin reactions. Because of this, it can trigger or make eczema and similar rashes worse on sensitive baby skin.
Irritant - There is documented evidence of skin and eye irritation from benzyl alcohol (including agency evaluations of irritation), so it can cause redness, stinging, or rashes—especially on sensitive or infant skin.
Organ Risk - Government hazard classifications and peer-reviewed sources have identified benzyl alcohol as toxic or harmful to organ systems at some exposures. These classifications indicate repeated or higher exposures could affect organs (for example liver or kidneys).
Confidence: HIGH
Glycyrrhiza Inflata Root Extract
⚠️4/10
For toddlers (1-2 years), this licorice root extract used on the skin is usually okay in small amounts, but there is evidence from studies that it can affect hormones and, at higher exposures, the liver and heart. Because young children absorb more through their skin, we should be careful.
Hormones - Toxicology reviews and human reports show this licorice root extract can change adrenal hormones and other sex hormones. That means it can upset normal hormone signals in children if they are exposed.
Confuse Hormones - Human and animal studies found the extract can act like or block natural hormones (adrenal and sex hormones). This can confuse a child’s normal hormone signals and growth.
Fertility - Reviews and some human/animal studies report effects on the reproductive system and male reproductive organs at moderate doses, so there is a real risk to future fertility with repeated exposure.
Organ Risk - Toxicology reviews link this ingredient to liver effects and possible heart-related problems in people and animals, so repeated use could harm organs like the liver or heart.
Metabolism - Studies show the extract can change hormone levels (including adrenal hormones and growth hormone), which can alter how the body handles sugar, salt, and growth — affecting a child’s metabolism.
Immune system - Animal studies report immune and allergenic responses at low to moderate doses, so it may alter immune reactions or raise allergy risk in sensitive children.
Eczema - Because animal data show allergenic effects, this extract may trigger or worsen eczema or similar skin rashes on sensitive baby skin.
Irritant - Allergy and skin reaction reports mean the ingredient can cause redness, itching, or rashes for some people, especially on delicate child skin.
Confidence: MEDIUM
PEG-40 Stearate
✅3/10
For toddlers (1–2 years), PEG-40 Stearate is usually low risk when used in normal skin products. The bigger concern is that it can sometimes carry trace contaminants from manufacturing.
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
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
Ethylhexylglycerin
✅2/10
For toddlers (1–2 years), this ingredient is generally low risk when used in normal baby products. It can sometimes irritate skin or eyes and, rarely, cause allergic skin reactions.
Confidence: HIGH
2-Hexanediol
✅1/10
For toddlers (1–2 years) this ingredient is generally low risk when used in small amounts in wipes, lotions and similar products. It is not linked to cancer or developmental problems in the available data.
No Known Risk - Independent safety reviews (Cosmetic Ingredient Review) and the European Chemicals Agency do not find serious health hazards for normal skin use. They note only limited evidence of skin, eye, or lung irritation at higher doses and point out some data gaps, so overall the ingredient is rated low risk for typical topical use.
Confidence: MEDIUM
Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride
✅1/10
For toddlers (1–2 years): This is a gentle, lightweight oil used in many baby lotions and wipes. It is generally safe on normal toddler skin and has a very low safety concern.
Confidence: HIGH
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
Castor Seed Oil
✅1/10
Ricinus Communis Seed Oil is castor oil commonly used as an emollient in baby care products and is considered safe for topical use
Confidence: HIGH
Ceramide NP
✅1/10
Ceramide NP is generally safe for toddlers (1-2 years). It helps moisturize and repair the skin and is not linked to serious long-term harm. A small number of reports note mild irritation in sensitive individuals.
No Known Risk - Authoritative reviews and studies do not identify any health hazards above a low level for typical topical use. A cosmetic safety review notes only guidance/restrictions for use, a European chemicals authority reported limited evidence of mild irritation, and scientific papers note this ingredient can increase skin penetration and produced allergenic responses only at high doses in animal tests. Taken together, there are no higher-than-low concerns for children when this ingredient is used as intended.
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
Cetyl Palmitate
✅1/10
For toddlers (1-2 years): generally safe. It’s a skin-softening ingredient used in lotions and wipes. Serious risks are unlikely, but some young children can get mild skin or eye irritation.
No Known Risk - Reviews by an industry safety panel and a government assessment found only low-level concerns (mainly possible mild skin, eye, or lung irritation) and noted some data gaps. The government review did not find signs of organ harm, persistence, or buildup in the body. Because all health concerns were rated low and no stronger hazards were reported for normal topical use, there are no known meaningful risks for typical use. Note: some product verification programs ask for extra safety documentation before allowing this ingredient.
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
Mineral Oil
✅1/10
For toddlers (1-2 years), mineral oil used on the skin is usually safe and works well to help dry skin. Most everyday, cosmetic-grade mineral oils are low risk for this age.
Confidence: MEDIUM
Octyldodecanol
✅1/10
For toddlers (1-2 years), octyldodecanol is usually safe when it’s in regular lotions or wipes. It helps make skin feel soft and improves how products spread. The main thing to know is it can sometimes cause irritation to skin, eyes, or if breathed in.
Confidence: HIGH
Colloidal Oatmeal
✅0/10
For toddlers (1–2 years old), colloidal oatmeal is generally very safe. It’s commonly used to calm dry, itchy or irritated skin in babies, toddlers, children and teens, and has a very low risk for serious health problems.
No Known Risk - The ingredient's safety review shows only low-level concerns for cancer, allergies or immune effects, developmental/reproductive harm, and use limits. No hazards above low were identified for topical use in the available review, so no significant health risks were found.
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.
