Ingredients Analysis (13 found)

⚠️5/10

Not evaluated

Confidence: LOW

ceteareth-20

⚠️4/10

For toddlers (1-2 years), Ceteareth-20 is not among the highest-risk ingredients, but it carries some avoidable risks. It can contain trace impurities and may help other substances pass through a child’s skin, so extra caution is warranted for little ones.

Cancer - The ingredient assessment lists contamination by ethylene oxide and 1,4-dioxane. Those contaminants are linked to cancer by health authorities, so their presence here is a real cancer concern.

Absorbed - A safety review (Cosmetic Ingredient Review) flags this ingredient as a penetration enhancer. That means it can help other chemicals get through the skin and into the body, raising exposure risk.

Long-Term Risk - Because this ingredient can boost skin absorption and it can be contaminated with harmful chemicals, repeated use could raise health risks over time according to the ingredient assessment and safety review.

Confidence: HIGH

2-hexanediol

⚠️4/10

Cannot confirm 2-hexanediol as a standard baby care ingredient may be a misreading or typo

Confidence: LOW

petrolatum

✅3/10

Purified white petrolatum is generally safe for toddlers (1–2 years) when used as a thin, protective layer on small areas of skin.

Confidence: MEDIUM

dimethicone

✅2/10

For toddlers (1-2 years), dimethicone is usually safe on the skin. It helps protect and lock in moisture and is commonly used in baby creams and diaper creams. Serious health risks are considered low, but there are some concerns about impurities and environmental persistence raised by government and safety reviewers.

Confidence: MEDIUM

beta-glucan

✅1/10

Beta-glucan is generally safe for toddlers (1-2 years). It is used to help soothe and moisturize skin and has a very low reported risk of causing cancer, developmental problems, or allergic reactions.

No Known Risk - A formal cosmetic safety review (Cosmetic Ingredient Review) and product-safety notes show only low-level concerns and some limits on concentration or impurities. No health concerns above low (for cancer, allergies/immune, or reproductive effects) were identified for typical topical use, so there are no known real risks when used as intended.

Confidence: HIGH

ceramide NP

✅1/10

Ceramide NP is generally safe for toddlers (1-2 years). It helps moisturize and repair the skin and is not linked to serious long-term harm. A small number of reports note mild irritation in sensitive individuals.

No Known Risk - Authoritative reviews and studies do not identify any health hazards above a low level for typical topical use. A cosmetic safety review notes only guidance/restrictions for use, a European chemicals authority reported limited evidence of mild irritation, and scientific papers note this ingredient can increase skin penetration and produced allergenic responses only at high doses in animal tests. Taken together, there are no higher-than-low concerns for children when this ingredient is used as intended.

Confidence: HIGH

cetearyl alcohol

✅1/10

For toddlers and young children (1-2 years) cetearyl alcohol is usually safe when applied to the skin. It is a moisturizing, non-greasy ingredient used in lotions and creams and has a low reported risk in safety reviews.

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

pentylene glycol

✅1/10

For toddlers (1-2 years) pentylene glycol is generally low risk. It’s commonly used in baby wipes and lotions to keep skin soft and to help preserve the product. Most children will not have a problem, but a small number can get redness or a rash.

Confidence: HIGH

polyepsilon-lysine

✅1/10

Polyepsilon-lysine is a natural antimicrobial peptide used as a preservative. It is generally safe and non-toxic for topical use in baby products.

No Known Risk - Poly-epsilon-lysine is a naturally occurring biopolymer used as a preservative and antimicrobial agent. There is no evidence or research indicating it poses risks related to hormones, brain development, organ damage, irritation, or other listed concerns when used topically, especially in baby products.

Confidence: HIGH

ceramide AP

✅0/10

Ceramide AP is a gentle, skin-friendly ingredient that helps repair and protect the outer layer of skin. For toddlers (1-2 years), it is generally safe when used in creams or lotions made for children.

No Known Risk - Available safety information shows low concern for cancer, allergies, and reproductive or developmental harm for typical skin use. A cosmetic safety review panel notes only that manufacturers should follow limits on concentration, impurities, and product types — a guidance step, not evidence of harm. Based on this, no clear health risks have been identified for normal 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.
