Ingredients Analysis (9 found)

phenoxyethanol

✅3/10

For toddlers and young children (2–5 years): phenoxyethanol is commonly used as a preservative and is usually okay when products keep it at low levels (around 1% or less). The main risk is that it can irritate skin, eyes, or cause redness for some children.

Confidence: HIGH

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

sodium benzoate

✅2/10

For children ages 2-5 (toddlers, preschoolers), sodium benzoate is usually safe in small amounts when it's in products made for kids. Big safety reviewers and government agencies generally see low risk at the low levels used in lotions and wipes, but there are rules that limit how much can be used.

Confidence: HIGH

tocopheryl acetate

✅2/10

Usually safe for most toddlers and preschoolers when used on healthy skin in small amounts.

Confidence: HIGH

aloe barbadensis leaf juice

✅1/10

For children ages 2–5 (toddlers and preschoolers): aloe vera leaf juice is usually safe on the skin when used in normal, child-friendly products. A small number of people can get irritation or an allergic reaction.

Confidence: HIGH

disodium cocoamphodiacetate

✅1/10

For toddlers and preschoolers (2–5 years), this is a mild washing ingredient used in baby and kids' body washes and wipes. It is usually safe when the product is washed off and not left on the skin.

No Known Risk - Government and cosmetic safety reviewers evaluated this ingredient and did not find evidence of serious harms for normal topical use. A Canadian regulator said it is not expected to be toxic or to build up in the body. European and industry reviewers noted only limited, low evidence for mild skin or eye irritation. No clear links were found to cancer, reproductive harm, organ damage, or environmental toxicity. Because the reported concerns are low or limited, there are no known significant risks for typical use on skin.

Confidence: HIGH

disodium phosphate

✅1/10

For toddlers and preschoolers (2-5 years), disodium phosphate in skin products is generally low risk. It mainly helps keep product pH stable and is not linked to serious long-term harms at normal topical use.

No Known Risk - Government and scientific reviews find no health hazards for normal use. It is allowed for limited use in food, has been classified as not likely to harm organs or build up in the body, and is not expected to be an environmental toxin. A cosmetic safety review notes skin/eye/lung irritation has not been clearly shown. Taken together, reviewers did not find any health concerns above a low level for topical use.

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
