Ingredients Analysis (16 found)

FRAGRANCE

⚠️5/10

Perfume in baby products can cause skin irritation or allergies in 2-5 year olds. It is likely included for fragrance but should be used with caution.

Irritant - Fragrance mixtures often contain chemicals that can cause skin irritation, redness, or rashes, especially on sensitive baby skin.

Eczema - Fragrances are known triggers for eczema flare-ups and can worsen symptoms in babies with sensitive or atopic skin.

Asthma - Fragrance chemicals can release volatile organic compounds (VOCs) that may worsen asthma or breathing issues in babies and children.

Hormones - Some fragrance ingredients, such as certain phthalates, are suspected endocrine disruptors that may interfere with hormone development.

Absorbed - Certain fragrance chemicals can be absorbed through the skin and detected in the bloodstream, raising concerns for systemic exposure.

Breast Milk - Some fragrance components, including phthalates, have been detected in breast milk, indicating they can pass from mother to baby.

Banned - Some fragrance ingredients are banned or restricted in the EU and other countries due to health concerns.

Builds Up - Certain fragrance chemicals, such as some phthalates and musks, can accumulate in the body over time with repeated exposure.

Long-Term Risk - Long-term exposure to some fragrance chemicals has been linked to chronic health effects, including hormone disruption and allergic diseases.

Confidence: HIGH

WATER

⚠️5/10

Water is very safe for topical use in 2-5 year old babies. It acts as a solvent and base in shampoos and bodywashes.

Confidence: HIGH

EAU

⚠️5/10

Eau is water in French and is safe as a solvent in baby shampoos and bodywashes for ages 2-5 years

Confidence: HIGH

PARFUM

⚠️5/10

Parfum is a fragrance blend that can cause skin irritation or allergies in sensitive children aged 2-5. It is common in shampoos and bodywashes for scent.

Confidence: HIGH

SODIUM LAURETH SULFATE

⚠️4/10

For toddlers and preschoolers (2-5 years), this foaming ingredient is generally okay in rinse-off products like shampoos and washes but can irritate sensitive skin or eyes. There are also concerns about small amounts of manufacturing impurities that some safety reviews point out.

Irritant - A formal safety review (Cosmetic Ingredient Review) found strong evidence that this ingredient can irritate skin, eyes, and lungs in people. That means babies or children may get redness, stinging, or sore eyes if exposed.

Organ Risk - A government health assessment (Environment Canada) classifies this ingredient as likely to be harmful to body organs with a medium human-health priority. Repeated or heavy exposure could affect organs like the liver or kidneys.

Cancer - Safety checks flag the ingredient for contamination by ethylene oxide and 1,4‑dioxane. These contaminants are known cancer-linked chemicals in regulatory and safety assessments, so contamination raises a cancer concern if present.

Confidence: HIGH

COCO-BETAINE

⚠️4/10

For 2–5 year olds (preschool children), this ingredient is usually okay when it’s in products you rinse off, like kids’ shampoos and body washes. A small number of children can get skin irritation or an allergic reaction.

Immune system - Cosmetic safety reviews (Cosmetic Ingredient Review and draft safety reports) report limited evidence that cocamidopropyl betaine can sensitize skin or trigger allergic reactions. That means it can affect the immune system in some people, especially those with sensitive skin.

Irritant - Industry safety assessments note limited evidence of skin sensitization and explicitly warn the ingredient may be unsafe in products left on the skin (not rinsed off). This shows it can cause redness, itching, or irritation for some users.

Eczema - Safety panels and reports observed cases of sensitization and recommend limits on use and product types. Because it can provoke skin reactions, it may trigger or worsen eczema in sensitive children.

Cancer - Regulatory and industry reviews flag contamination concerns for this ingredient, including nitrosamines and related amines. Nitrosamines are known to be carcinogenic, so impurity risks raise a cancer concern unless impurities are controlled as industry reviewers recommend.

Banned - Expert panels and tentative regulatory reports recommend use, concentration, and manufacturing restrictions for this ingredient and note it is unsafe in some product types (leave-on). While not universally banned, it is subject to regulatory or industry limits in some contexts.

Environmental - A national environmental agency (Environment Canada) flagged this ingredient as a suspected environmental toxin, indicating possible harm to ecosystems if released into the environment.

Confidence: HIGH

PEG-90

⚠️4/10

PEG-90 is not a recognized standard ingredient name it might be a misreading or typo of PEG compounds which vary widely in safety

Confidence: HIGH

LAURETH-2

✅3/10

For children aged 2–5 years (toddlers and preschoolers), Laureth-2 is usually low risk when used in small amounts, especially in products you rinse off. The main worry is possible skin irritation for sensitive kids and small amounts of manufacturing contaminants that can sometimes be present.

Confidence: MEDIUM

CITRIC ACID

✅2/10

For children aged 2–5 (toddlers and preschoolers), citric acid in small amounts found in wipes, lotions, and bath products is usually safe. It can sometimes cause mild stinging or irritation, especially on very sensitive or broken skin.

Confidence: HIGH

DISODIUM EDTA

✅2/10

For children aged 2–5 years (toddlers, preschoolers): usually low risk in small amounts. Main problems to watch for are skin or eye irritation, and it can slightly increase how much other ingredients get through the skin.

Confidence: HIGH

METHYLPROPANEDIOL

✅1/10

For children ages 2-5 (toddlers, preschoolers), this ingredient is usually low risk when used on the skin. It can sometimes cause mild irritation and it can help other ingredients soak into the skin more easily.

Confidence: HIGH

SODIUM CHLORIDE

✅1/10

For kids aged 2–5 (toddlers and preschoolers), sodium chloride (table salt) used on the skin in normal product amounts is very low risk. It is commonly used to make solutions gentle and to adjust product thickness, and health authorities consider it safe for limited use.

No Known Risk - Regulatory reviews flag no meaningful health hazards for topical use. Food and health authorities list it as safe for limited use, and environmental assessments find it unlikely to harm organs, build up in the body, or damage wildlife. Overall expert sources rate concerns as low across cancer, allergies, development, and use restrictions.

Confidence: HIGH

SODIUM CITRATE

✅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

GLYCERYL ISOSTEARATE

✅1/10

Glyceryl Isostearate is an emollient and skin conditioning agent considered safe for topical use in children

No Known Risk - Glyceryl Isostearate is widely used in topical products and current research and safety assessments do not indicate any significant health risks for babies. It is generally considered safe, with no evidence linking it to irritation, hormone disruption, cancer, or other listed risks when used as directed.

Confidence: HIGH

PENTYLENE GLYCOL

✅1/10

For 2–5 year olds (toddlers and preschoolers), pentylene glycol is usually safe when used on the skin. It helps keep products moist and has low overall health concerns, but some children may get mild skin irritation or an allergic reaction.

Confidence: HIGH

AQUA

✅0/10

For children aged 2-5 years (toddlers and preschoolers), plain water used on the skin is very safe. Water by itself does not cause harm and is commonly the main ingredient in wipes and lotions.

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
