Confidence: HIGH

BEHENYL ALCOHOL

✅1/10

For toddlers and preschoolers (children ages 2-5), behenyl alcohol is generally low risk when used on the skin. It’s a fatty alcohol that helps moisturize and thicken creams. Most safety reviews find very little cause for concern when it’s used in normal cosmetic or personal care products.

For toddlers and preschoolers (ages 2–5), dicaprylyl carbonate is generally safe. It’s a softening ingredient that helps skin feel smooth. Long-term risks are considered very low. The main issue is rare mild irritation to the skin or eyes.

No Known Risk - Available safety reviews show only very low concerns for this ingredient. Tests found limited, mild eye or skin irritation in some studies, but no stronger links to cancer, hormone or brain effects, organ damage, or reproductive problems. Because the evidence of harm is low, this ingredient is not flagged as a real health risk for children in normal topical use.

✅1/10

For toddlers and preschoolers (2–5 years) sodium citrate is generally safe. It’s a mild ingredient used to balance product pH and doesn’t tend to build up in the body or harm the environment. Problems are uncommon.

No Known Risk - Reviewed safety information shows only low-level concerns. U.S. food regulators say it is allowed for some food uses, a cosmetic safety panel notes allowed limits and some data gaps but does not show hazards at normal use, and a national environment agency finds it unlikely to harm organs, build up in the body, or persist in the environment. Because no health concern was reported above low, there are no specific risks identified for typical topical use.

Confidence: HIGH

SUCROSE STEARATE

✅1/10

No Known Risk - Major health concerns (cancer, allergies/immune, and developmental or reproductive effects) are rated low. A regulatory review by Environment Canada says this ingredient is not expected to be toxic, is not persistent or bioaccumulative, and is not an environmental toxin. Based on that information, no specific health or environmental risks have been identified for topical use.

Confidence: HIGH

✅1/10

No Known Risk - Available safety reviews for this topical ingredient did not find any important health hazards. Key areas people watch for—like cancer, allergies or immune effects, effects on growth or reproduction, organ harm, hormone disruption, and long-term build-up—were not identified as concerns for normal skin use. Because no higher-than-low concerns were reported, there are no specific risks flagged for children from typical topical use.

Confidence: HIGH

XANTHAN GUM

✅1/10

For toddlers and preschoolers (2–5 years), xanthan gum is usually safe when used in creams, lotions and baby wipes. It thickens products and mainly stays on the skin. Most children do not have problems with it.

No Known Risk - Safety reviews and regulatory assessments find no health hazards above a low level for topical use. It is approved for limited use in food, classified as not expected to be toxic and a low human-health priority, and not suspected to be an environmental toxin. Cosmetic industry reviewers note only guidance on concentrations or purity. Because no concern was rated above low, no specific risks were identified for babies or children.

Confidence: HIGH

✅1/10

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.
