3/10
This chamomile extract is usually gentle and often used to calm skin. For toddlers (1-2 years) it is mostly safe, but a small number of people can get skin allergies or sensitivities.

Confidence: HIGH
Calendula Officinalis Flower Extract
2/10
For toddlers (1–2 years) calendula flower extract is generally safe when used on the skin in normal baby or child products. Serious risks are rare. The main concern is that some children who are allergic to plants in the daisy family may get a contact rash.
No Known Risk - Safety reviews for this calendula flower extract show only low-level concerns for cancer, allergies, and effects on growth/reproduction. Industry safety panels note limits on how much can be used and say some data are missing, but there is no clear evidence of real harm when used on the skin. Some verified product programs restrict its use unless makers provide extra safety information.
Confidence: HIGH

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

It is commonly used to soothe and moisturize and carries a low level of concern for cancer or allergy. There are some animal studies and industry reviews that raise modest concerns about reproductive effects at high doses, but that is not the same as normal topical use in kids.
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.

It is approved for limited use in food, classified as not expected to be toxic and a low human-health priority, and not suspected to be an environmental toxin.

Confidence: HIGH
Caprylyl Capryl Glucoside
1/10
