Ingredients Analysis (12 found)

CALCIUM HYDROXIDE

⚠️5/10

For toddlers (1-2 years), calcium hydroxide can sting or irritate the skin, eyes, or breathing if they touch or breathe it in. It is sometimes allowed in skin products only at low levels and when formulas avoid irritation.

Irritant - Authoritative safety guides list calcium hydroxide as an irritant to skin, eyes, and lungs. A chemical-hazards pocket guide classifies it as an eye/skin/lung irritant, a U.S. medical toxicology source reports evidence of skin irritation, and an industry safety panel says it can cause irritation unless used at limited concentrations. For a baby, that means this ingredient can cause redness, stinging, or rashes on delicate skin or damage if it gets in the eyes.

Asthma - Chemical-hazard guidance specifically calls out lung irritation from calcium hydroxide. Because it can irritate the lungs, it can make breathing problems or asthma worse in children if inhaled or if fine dust/aerosols reach the airways.

Banned - Regulatory sources for cosmetics show use and concentration limits for calcium hydroxide and recommend restrictions. The EU Cosmetics Directive / Cosing records restrictions and the industry review panel says it is only safe when formulated to avoid irritation. These rules mean some countries or product standards limit or prohibit its use in cosmetics.

Confidence: HIGH

AQUA

✅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.
