Ingredients Analysis (10 found)

Mentha Piperita (Peppermint Oil)
🚫8/10
Peppermint oil can cause skin irritation breathing issues and toxicity in babies likely added for fragrance or cooling effect but not safe for 1-2 years
Confidence: HIGH
Menthol
🚨6/10
For 1–2 year olds (toddlers): menthol can cool skin and smell strong, but it may cause skin irritation or allergic reactions in some children and its fumes can bother breathing. Because of that, it is not a good choice for everyday products for toddlers.
Immune system - Menthol is identified as a known human allergen and flagged with strong evidence of human toxicant/allergen by regulatory bodies (EU Cosmetics Directive and the U.S. EPA). That means it can trigger allergic or immune reactions when put on the skin.
Irritant - Regulatory assessments list menthol as a human allergen/toxicant, which is linked to skin reactions like redness, stinging, or contact dermatitis—especially when applied topically to sensitive skin.
Eczema - Because menthol is a recognized human allergen (per the EU cosmetics review and U.S. EPA findings), it can trigger or worsen eczema and similar inflammatory skin conditions in susceptible people.
Confidence: MEDIUM
Glycyrrhiza Uralensis (Licorice) Root Extract"
⚠️4/10
For toddlers (1-2 years old), licorice root extract used on the skin is usually okay in small amounts. It can help calm the skin but has some reports showing it can affect hormones and, in high exposures, the liver or heart. There is also a small chance of allergic reactions or redness.
Confidence: MEDIUM
Chamomilla Recutita (Matricaria) Flower Extract
✅2/10
For toddlers (1-2 years) this chamomile flower extract is usually safe on the skin in products made for children. Most safety reviews call it low risk. It can be soothing, but a small number of people can get a rash or allergy.
No Known Risk - Reviewed safety panels and chemical agencies found only limited or unclear evidence of harm from chamomile flower extract when used on the skin. Expert reviews say it is generally safe for cosmetic use with normal concentrations, and studies that suggested possible effects were small or mixed. Because no clear, higher-than-low concerns were identified, there are no specific risks to report.
Confidence: MEDIUM
Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Juice
✅1/10
For toddlers (1–2 years) aloe vera leaf juice applied to the skin is usually safe. A few children may get redness or an allergic reaction, but overall risk is low when the product is purified and used as intended.
Confidence: MEDIUM
Cellulose Gum
✅1/10
For toddlers (1-2 years), cellulose gum is generally safe when used in skin products made for children. It’s a common, mild ingredient used to thicken and stabilize lotions and creams and is not known to cause serious harm.
No Known Risk - Reviewed safety information shows no health concerns above low for this ingredient. Official food-safety reviewers permit limited use in food, a cosmetic safety review panel notes some data gaps but did not find high risks, and a Canadian health authority classifies it as not expected to be toxic or an environmental hazard. Some product-verification programs may still ask for extra proof before allowing it, but current evidence points to no known health risks for topical use.
Confidence: HIGH
Polyglyceryl-10 Laurate
✅1/10
For toddlers (1-2 years old), Polyglyceryl-10 Laurate is generally safe when used on the skin. Major long-term health concerns are rated low. There is a small chance it could irritate the skin, eyes, or breathing in sensitive children.
No Known Risk - Available safety reviews do not show any health concerns above a low level. Experts flagged only a possible, low-level chance of skin, eye, or lung irritation but noted the evidence is not strong. Other checks (cancer, allergy/immune, and developmental or reproductive effects) were rated low. For typical topical use on children, no higher-level risks were identified.
Confidence: HIGH
Xylitol
✅1/10
For 1–2 year olds, this ingredient used on the skin is considered very low risk and helps keep skin moist. Skin reactions are rare.
No Known Risk - Checks show only low concern for skin use. No strong links to cancer, allergies, or growth problems were found.
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
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.
Confidence: HIGH
