Ingredients Analysis (13 found)

glycerine
⚠️5/10
Vegetarian glycerin is safe for baby skin acts as a moisturizer and humectant widely used in baby care products
Confidence: HIGH
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
chlorphenesin
⚠️4/10
For toddlers (1-2 years), chlorphenesin is a preservative sometimes used in wipes, creams and bath products. It is generally low-to-moderate risk but can irritate sensitive skin or cause allergic reactions in some young children.
Immune system - Moderate evidence shows chlorphenesin can cause skin allergy and immune effects in people and animals, as found by the Cosmetic Ingredient Review and supporting animal studies.
Irritant - There is limited to moderate evidence that chlorphenesin can irritate skin, eyes, and the respiratory tract, based on assessments from a European chemical agency and the Cosmetic Ingredient Review.
Organ Risk - A European chemicals authority has classified chlorphenesin as potentially toxic or harmful to non-reproductive organs, indicating a real organ-health concern despite differing views from other agencies.
Banned - Use of chlorphenesin is restricted or prohibited for some cosmetic uses under rules set by the Japan Ministry of Health, showing it is limited by regulators in at least one country.
Builds Up - A published review flagged chlorphenesin as persistent and bioaccumulative with moderate-to-high toxicity potential, which means it may stay in the body or environment over time.
Environmental - Some scientific review raised concerns about persistence and toxicity to people and the environment, indicating possible environmental harm even though some agencies did not find the same risk.
Eczema - Because there is moderate evidence that chlorphenesin can cause skin allergy and irritation in people, it may trigger or worsen eczema and other sensitive-skin conditions.
Asthma - Limited evidence of respiratory irritation suggests chlorphenesin could make breathing problems or asthma worse in sensitive children.
Long-Term Risk - Given reports of persistence, bioaccumulation, and moderate toxicity, there is a plausible risk of long-term health effects after repeated or long-term exposure.
Confidence: MEDIUM
phenoxyethanol
✅3/10
For toddlers (1–2 years) phenoxyethanol is usually safe in skin products when used at the low levels manufacturers follow (around 1% or less). It helps prevent germs in creams and lotions. The main issue is that it can sometimes cause skin irritation or, rarely, allergic reactions.
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
tocopheryl acetate
✅2/10
Usually fine for toddlers’ skin at normal amounts, but a few kids may get a rash.
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
caprylyl glycol
✅1/10
For toddlers (1-2 years) Caprylyl Glycol is generally low risk. It’s used to help moisturize skin and to boost preservation. Most children won’t have problems, but a small number can get skin irritation or an allergic reaction.
No Known Risk - Government and industry safety reviews found no clear health hazards for skin use. Tests say it is not likely to build up in the body, not persistent in the environment, and not harmful to organs. Industry reviewers do note limits on how much can be used and some data gaps, but overall the ingredient is rated low concern for topical use.
Confidence: HIGH
cetyl alcohol
✅1/10
For toddlers (1–2 years), cetyl alcohol is usually safe. It helps creams feel smooth and rarely causes problems. Most children won’t have any reaction, but kids with very sensitive skin or eczema may be more likely to react.
Confidence: HIGH
mineral oil
✅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
stearyl alcohol
✅1/10
For toddlers (1-2 years old), stearyl alcohol in creams and lotions is usually safe when used in normal baby products. It helps make products feel smooth and stay on the skin. Most of the bigger health risks have been assessed as low, but it can irritate the skin, eyes, or breathing in some children.
Confidence: HIGH
zinc oxide
✅1/10
Zinc oxide is safe for topical use on 1 to 2 year olds. It works by forming a protective barrier and acting as a physical sunscreen. Most babies tolerate it well.
Confidence: HIGH
purified 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.
