Ingredients Analysis (15 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
benzyl alcohol
3/10
For children aged 2–5 years (toddlers and preschoolers), benzyl alcohol in small amounts in skin products is usually okay, but it can cause allergic reactions or irritation in some kids. Children with sensitive skin or eczema are more likely to react.
Confidence: HIGH
propylene glycol
3/10
For toddlers and preschoolers (2–5 years), propylene glycol in typical skin creams is usually low risk, but it can cause skin irritation or allergic reactions in some children. It can also help other ingredients get into the skin, so be careful with strong medicines in the same product.
Confidence: HIGH
Dimethicone
1/10
Dimethicone is commonly used in creams and lotions for children ages 2-5 (toddlers and preschoolers) and is usually gentle and safe on normal skin. It helps protect and lock in moisture and rarely causes reactions. There are, however, some concerns about small amounts of related chemicals or impurities that can come from manufacturing and about environmental persistence.
Confidence: MEDIUM
coconut oil
1/10
Coconut oil is widely used in baby care for moisturizing and is generally safe for 2-5 years unless allergic
No Known Risk - Coconut oil is widely used topically for babies and is generally considered safe. There is no strong evidence linking it to irritation, allergies, hormone disruption, cancer, or other health risks when used on healthy baby skin. Rare allergic reactions are possible, but not common enough to warrant a risk label based on current research.
Confidence: HIGH
cod liver oil
1/10
For kids aged 2-5 (toddlers and preschoolers), cod liver oil used on the skin is generally low risk. It’s a fish oil used in some moisturizers. Serious problems are uncommon, but some children can get skin irritation or an allergic reaction.
No Known Risk - Available safety notes rate cancer, allergy, reproductive, and use-restriction concerns as low for topical use. Environment Canada classifies cod liver oil as not expected to be toxic, a low human-health priority, and not suspected to be an environmental toxin. Taken together, these findings show no identified health risks for topical use.
Confidence: HIGH
glyceryl monooleate
1/10
Glyceryl monooleate is an emulsifier and skin conditioning agent generally considered safe for topical use in children
No Known Risk - Glyceryl Monooleate is widely used as an emulsifier and skin conditioning agent in topical products, including those for babies. Current research and regulatory reviews do not indicate significant risks such as irritation, hormone disruption, or organ toxicity when used topically. There are no established links to cancer, fertility issues, or other long-term health effects. It is generally recognized as safe for topical use, including on sensitive skin, and is not banned or restricted in major countries.
Confidence: HIGH
light mineral oil
1/10
For children aged 2-5 (toddlers and preschoolers), mineral oil used occasionally on normal skin is generally low risk. It works as a moisturizer and skin protectant.
Confidence: MEDIUM
ozokerite
1/10
Ozokerite is a mineral wax used to make creams and balms thicker. For children aged 2–5 (toddlers, preschoolers), it is generally low risk when used in normal amounts in skin products.
Confidence: MEDIUM
paraffin
1/10
For toddlers and preschoolers (ages 2–5), paraffin used on the skin is usually low risk when used like a normal moisturizer or balm.
Confidence: MEDIUM
sorbitol
1/10
For children ages 2-5 (toddlers and preschoolers): sorbitol is generally safe in skin creams and lotions. It helps the skin hold moisture and is considered low risk for long-term harm or cancer. Most children will not have a problem with it.
No Known Risk - Sorbitol is generally considered safe for topical use. U.S. food regulators have cleared it for limited use in foods, and Environment Canada has said it is not expected to be toxic, not persistent, and not likely to build up in the body or harm the environment. Industry safety reviewers note only routine limits on concentration or impurities. Taken together, these assessments show no clear health risks for typical topical use.
Confidence: HIGH
synthetic beeswax
1/10
For toddlers and preschoolers (children age 2-5), synthetic beeswax used in creams, balms or lotions is usually low risk when used the way the product says. It helps thicken and soften skin and is not linked to major health problems at normal use levels. However, the ingredient record warns about possible contamination with things called PAHs and notes some limits or restrictions, so we should be a little careful.
Confidence: MEDIUM
zinc oxide
1/10
Zinc oxide is generally safe for 2 to 5 year olds when used on skin. It acts as a barrier and is used in diaper creams and sunscreens.
Confidence: HIGH
aloe barbadensis leaf extract
1/10
Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Extract is commonly used in baby products for soothing and moisturizing skin. It is very safe for topical use in 2-5 year olds.
Confidence: HIGH
water
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
