Ingredients Analysis (6 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

Vitamin A

⚠️5/10

Potential skin irritation and increased absorption in young skin, risk of systemic excess with prolonged use. Likely present as retinyl ester antioxidant in lotions

Absorbed - Topical vitamin A (retinoids) can be absorbed through the skin, especially in infants with thinner skin barrier.

Organ Risk - Excessive topical vitamin A can potentially cause toxicity, affecting organs such as the liver, especially with repeated use or in high concentrations.

Long-Term Risk - Chronic exposure to high levels of vitamin A, even topically, may lead to cumulative toxicity and long-term health effects.

Confidence: HIGH

White 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

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

Vitamin D

✅1/10

For toddlers (1–2 years old) topical vitamin D in normal skincare amounts is usually low risk. However, some countries put limits on how it can be used in cosmetics, so it’s important to pick child-friendly products and avoid high-strength or medicine-type vitamin D creams.

Confidence: HIGH

Light Liquid Paraffin

✅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.
