Ingredients Analysis (5 found)

Lavender Oil

⚠️5/10

For toddlers (1-2 years): safer than for newborns but not completely risk-free. There are some reports of skin allergy and a few studies that suggest possible hormone-like effects in children.

Hormones - There are medical case reports and laboratory studies that link topical lavender oil to hormone changes in children, including early breast development and small breast tissue in boys. These findings show the oil can affect normal hormone development in young children.

Confuse Hormones - Research studies found that lavender oil can act like estrogen in lab tests and in reported clinical cases. That means the oil may mimic or confuse the body’s natural hormone signals.

Absorbed - Cases of hormone effects after skin use mean the oil can get through skin and reach the body. Clinical reports showing systemic effects support that topical lavender oil can be absorbed into the bloodstream.

Confidence: HIGH

Lanolin

✅2/10

Lanolin is generally safe for babies over 1 year but may cause allergic reactions in some sensitive individuals used as a moisturizer or skin protectant

Confidence: HIGH

Cod Liver Oil

✅1/10

For toddlers (1-2 years), topical cod liver oil is generally low risk. Government reviews find it unlikely to cause poisoning or long-term harm. However, some children can get skin irritation or an allergic reaction.

No Known Risk - Available safety notes rate cancer, allergy, reproductive, and use-restriction concerns as low for topical use. Environment Canada classifies cod liver oil as not expected to be toxic, a low human-health priority, and not suspected to be an environmental toxin. Taken together, these findings show no identified health risks for topical use.

Confidence: MEDIUM

Petrolatum

✅1/10

For toddlers (1-2 years), mineral oil used on the skin is usually safe and works well to help dry skin. Most everyday, cosmetic-grade mineral oils are low risk for this age.

Confidence: MEDIUM

Light Mineral Oil

✅1/10

Mineral oil is widely used in baby products as a moisturizer and is considered very safe for topical use in 1-2 year olds
