Ingredients Analysis (11 found)

myristyl lactate
⚠️5/10
Safety information not properly formatted for easy understanding
Absorbed - A consumer-safety position paper on alpha-hydroxy acids lists this ingredient as a penetration enhancer. That means it can help itself and other ingredients get through the skin and into the body, raising exposure.
Banned - An industry safety review (Cosmetic Ingredient Review) and a Canadian cosmetics guidance list use or concentration limits for this ingredient. Those restrictions mean some governments or industry groups limit or ban its use in certain products.
Environmental - A national environmental agency flagged this substance as a suspected environmental toxin. That means it may harm wildlife or ecosystems if released into the environment.
Sun Burn - An industry safety review notes the ingredient should be formulated to avoid increasing sun sensitivity or used with directions to use sun protection. This indicates it can make skin more likely to burn in sunlight.
Confidence: MEDIUM
tetrasodium glutamate diacetate
✅2/10
For toddlers (1–2 year olds), this ingredient is commonly used to help products stay stable and is low risk at normal use levels. Most children will not have problems, but safety reviewers have raised concerns about possible contamination and a small chance of mild irritation.
Confidence: MEDIUM
avocado oil
✅1/10
Persea Gratissima Oil is avocado oil commonly used as an emollient in baby care products and is considered very safe for topical use
No Known Risk - Avocado oil is generally considered safe for topical use on babies. There is no strong evidence linking it to irritation, allergies, hormone disruption, or other health risks in infants. It is not banned or restricted, and is not associated with long-term or systemic health effects. As with any oil, rare allergic reactions are possible, but these are not common or specific to avocado oil.
Confidence: HIGH
coconut acid
✅1/10
Coconut Acid is a fatty acid from coconut oil used as a cleanser or surfactant generally safe for baby skin in topical products
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
hydrogenated vegetable oil
✅1/10
For toddlers (1–2 years), hydrogenated vegetable oil is generally safe when used on the skin in normal amounts. It works as a skin softener and has low levels of concern from health reviewers.
No Known Risk - Government review (Environment Canada) found this ingredient is not expected to be toxic and ranked it a low human-health priority. An industry safety panel (Cosmetic Ingredient Review) notes safe use depends on concentration and manufacturing and flagged some data gaps, but did not identify hazards. Checks for cancer, allergies, and reproductive or developmental harm were all rated low. Because no concern above low was found, there are no known risks for typical topical use.
Confidence: HIGH
olive 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
polyglyceryl-4 laurate
✅1/10
For toddlers (1–2 years) — little ones, children, young toddlers — Polyglyceryl-4 Laurate is generally low risk when used on the skin. It is a mild ingredient used to help oil and water mix and is not linked to cancer or developmental harm at normal use levels. The only noted concern is low likelihood of irritation.
No Known Risk - Based on the provided ingredient safety record, no moderate or high health concerns were identified for topical use. A safety review noted possible irritation but did not confirm a real risk, and no higher-level hazards (for cancer, hormones, development, or organ damage) are reported in the data. Because the available assessments do not show anything above a low concern, there are no identified real risks for children from this ingredient in typical topical use.
Confidence: HIGH
sodium cocoyl isethionate
✅1/10
For toddlers (1-2 years) Sodium Cocoyl Isethionate is usually safe when it's in rinse-off products like shampoos and body washes. It is a gentle cleanser and is not thought to cause serious long-term harm.
No Known Risk - Reviews by a cosmetic safety review panel and a national environment agency found no significant health hazards. The ingredient is not thought to build up in the body or harm organs, and it is considered safe in products when used at the allowed levels (with different limits for rinse-off versus leave-on products). There are some notes about possible mild irritation and that safety limits are set, but overall no real health risks were identified.
Confidence: HIGH
sodium isethionate
✅1/10
For toddlers (1–2 years) sodium isethionate is generally safe, especially in rinse-off products like baby shampoos and washes. It’s a mild cleanser and not expected to cause long-term harm.
No Known Risk - Expert reviews and regulatory assessments find no meaningful health hazards for sodium isethionate when used on the skin. A Canadian assessment concluded it is not expected to cause organ harm, is not persistent or likely to build up in the environment, and is not an environmental toxin. A cosmetic safety panel found it safe for use in cosmetics when used within concentration limits. Mild skin or eye irritation has been noted but the overall evidence points to low concern, so no specific health risks are identified for typical topical use.
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.
Confidence: HIGH
