Ingredients Analysis (16 found)

fragrance

🚨6/10

Perfume in baby products can cause skin irritation or allergic reactions in 1-2 year olds. It is often added for scent but should be used cautiously.

Irritant - Fragrance mixtures often contain chemicals that can cause skin irritation, redness, or rashes, especially on sensitive baby skin.

Eczema - Fragrances are known triggers for eczema flare-ups and can worsen symptoms in babies with sensitive or atopic skin.

Asthma - Fragrance chemicals can release volatile organic compounds (VOCs) that may worsen asthma or breathing issues in babies and children.

Hormones - Some fragrance ingredients, such as certain phthalates, are suspected endocrine disruptors that may interfere with hormone development.

Absorbed - Certain fragrance chemicals can be absorbed through the skin and detected in the bloodstream, raising concerns for systemic exposure.

Breast Milk - Some fragrance components, including phthalates, have been detected in breast milk, indicating they can pass from mother to baby.

Banned - Some fragrance ingredients are banned or restricted in the EU and other countries due to health concerns.

Builds Up - Certain fragrance chemicals, such as some phthalates and musks, can accumulate in the body over time with repeated exposure.

Long-Term Risk - Long-term exposure to some fragrance chemicals has been linked to chronic health effects, including hormone disruption and allergic diseases.

Confidence: HIGH

disodium edta

✅3/10

For toddlers (1–2 years): usually low risk when used at the small amounts found in normal skin cleansers and lotions. The main concern is skin or eye irritation, and it can make it easier for other ingredients to pass through the skin, so be careful with young children.

Confidence: HIGH

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

cocamidopropyl hydroxysultaine

✅2/10

For toddlers (1–2 years): usually safe when used in rinse‑off products like shampoo and body wash. Overall harm is low, but there are some concerns about contamination during manufacture and occasional mild skin or eye irritation.

Confidence: MEDIUM

hydrolyzed casein

✅2/10

Hydrolyzed casein is a milk protein used on the skin. For most toddlers (1–2 years) it’s low risk. It’s not expected to be toxic, but if your child has a cow’s milk allergy they could react to it on their skin.

No Known Risk - Government and industry safety reviews do not find clear harms. A Canadian health assessment says this ingredient is not expected to be toxic, and an environmental review says it is not suspected to be an environmental toxin. An industry safety panel notes only that safe use can depend on how the ingredient is made and used. All common health concerns (cancer, allergies, developmental harm, and use limits) were rated low, so no risks above low were identified.

Confidence: MEDIUM

peg-150 distearate

✅2/10

For toddlers (1-2 years) this ingredient is usually low risk. It works as a gentle mixing agent in creams and lotions. The main worry is not the ingredient itself but possible small amounts of manufacturing impurities that should be removed before the product is sold.

Confidence: HIGH

peg-80 sorbitan laurate

✅2/10

For toddlers (1–2 years), PEG-80 Sorbitan Laurate is usually low risk when used on the skin in normal rinse-off or wipe products. It helps products spread and mix. But some safety reviews show it can cause skin allergy in some people and there are concerns about possible manufacturing impurities.

Confidence: HIGH

sodium dehydroacetate

✅2/10

For toddlers (1–2 years), this preservative is usually low risk when used in products made for babies or young children and used as directed. It rarely causes irritation or allergy. Some government and scientific reviews note possible hormone-related effects seen in animal tests at higher doses, so we keep use cautious.

Confidence: HIGH

tocopheryl acetate

✅2/10

Usually fine for toddlers’ skin at normal amounts, but a few kids may get a rash.

Confidence: MEDIUM

glycol stearate

✅1/10

For toddlers (1–2 years old): glycol stearate is commonly used in creams and shampoos to make them smooth. Health risks for children this age are low when it is used in normal amounts in products made for babies or toddlers.

Confidence: HIGH

panthenol

✅1/10

For toddlers (1-2 years) panthenol is generally safe when used in normal baby creams, lotions or wipes. It helps skin hold moisture and supports the skin barrier. Problems are uncommon.

No Known Risk - Health and regulatory reviews (including Canadian and U.S. assessments and industry safety panels) find panthenol has no reported hazards above a low level for topical use. It is not expected to harm organs, does not appear to build up in the body or the environment, and common concerns (cancer, allergies, reproductive effects) were rated low. There are some industry notes about safe use levels and a few data gaps, but no higher-level health risks were identified.

Confidence: HIGH

polyquaternium-11

✅1/10

For toddlers (1-2 years), this ingredient is generally low risk when used in normal skin or hair products. It’s a conditioning ingredient that mostly stays on the surface and is not known to cause cancer or serious developmental harm.

No Known Risk - A government review found this ingredient is not expected to be toxic to organs, and it is not likely to build up in the body or harm the environment. An industry safety panel notes limits on how it is used and some gaps in data, but no higher-level health concerns (like cancer, hormone or developmental risks) were identified. Based on those reviews, there are no known health risks above low concern.

Confidence: MEDIUM

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

ethyl-hexylglycerin

✅1/10

Ethyl-hexylglycerin is a common preservative and skin conditioning agent considered very safe for topical use in baby products including shampoo and bodywash for 1-2 year olds.

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.
