Ingredients Analysis (22 found)

⚠️5/10

Not evaluated

Confidence: LOW

Butyloctyl Salicylate

⚠️4/10

For toddlers (1–2 years) this ingredient is probably okay in small amounts in lotions or sunscreens made for children, but there are reasons to be careful. Some studies and safety reviews flag possible contamination with salicylic acid and recommend limits on use or concentration.

Absorbed - The ingredient is used on skin and the safety notes flag enhanced skin absorption and contamination with salicylic acid. Peer-reviewed assessments say this can increase how much gets into the body, so topical use can lead to systemic exposure.

Fertility - Regulatory and peer-reviewed assessments found animal studies showing developmental and reproductive effects at moderate doses. A formal assessment of salicylate esters flagged reproductive/developmental concerns.

Hormones - Peer-reviewed literature associates this ingredient with endocrine disruption. That means it can affect natural hormone systems in early life or during development.

Confuse Hormones - Scientific reviews report this substance can act like or interfere with normal hormones (an endocrine effect). This can confuse hormone signals during growth and development.

Irritant - Animal studies in the literature show eye, respiratory and skin irritation at higher doses. That means it can cause redness, stinging, or breathing irritation in some uses or at high exposure.

Sun Burn - An industry safety panel (Cosmetic Ingredient Review) notes it must be formulated to avoid increasing sun sensitivity. If not, it can make skin burn faster in the sun.

Long-Term Risk - Industry and peer-reviewed sources place limits or use restrictions on this ingredient, indicating it needs concentration or formulation limits to be considered safe over time.

No Known Risk - Reviews and government assessments did not find health hazards above a low level for normal topical use. Safety panels note use limits and some data gaps, but regulators have called it low priority for human health, do not expect it to build up in the body or the environment, and allow limited food uses. Taken together, current evidence does not show any health risks above low for typical use.

Confidence: MEDIUM

Sodium Chloride

✅1/10

Sodium chloride is ordinary salt. For toddlers (1–2 years) it is generally safe in the tiny amounts used in skin products. It is a low-risk ingredient and is not thought to cause long-term harm.

No Known Risk - Regulatory reviews flag no meaningful health hazards for topical use. Food and health authorities list it as safe for limited use, and environmental assessments find it unlikely to harm organs, build up in the body, or damage wildlife. Overall expert sources rate concerns as low across cancer, allergies, development, and use restrictions.

Confidence: HIGH

Tocopherol
