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.

Confidence: HIGH

Sodium Hyaluronate

✅1/10

For toddlers and young children (1–2 year olds), this moisturizing ingredient is generally safe when used on the skin. It usually sits on top of the skin and does not get into the body much. Risks for cancer or developmental problems are considered low.

No Known Risk - Major safety reviews and government checks report low concern for this ingredient when used on the skin. Industry safety reviewers note some data gaps and recommend limits on how much may be used in products, and a government environmental review flagged uncertain effects on the environment. Some product-verification programs also require extra proof before allowing it. Taken together, there are no clear health risks above a low level in the available assessments.

Confidence: HIGH

Tocopherol

✅1/10

For toddlers and young children (1–2 years old), tocopherol (vitamin E) used on the skin is usually safe. It helps protect oils and soften skin. Most children will not have problems, but a small number can get a rash or irritation.

Environmental toxicity is noted but there are no stronger human-health hazards identified in the provided data. Because no concerns were reported above a low level, there are no specific higher-level risks flagged for children using this ingredient.

Confidence: MEDIUM

Zinc Oxide

✅1/10

Zinc oxide is safe for topical use on 1 to 2 year olds. It works by forming a protective barrier and acting as a physical sunscreen. Most babies tolerate it well.
