Ingredients Analysis (21 found)

retinyl palmitate
🚨6/10
Retinyl palmitate is a vitamin A derivative used as an antioxidant but may cause skin irritation and has safety concerns for young children
Irritant - Retinyl Palmitate can cause skin irritation, redness, and peeling, especially on sensitive baby skin.
Sun Burn - Retinyl Palmitate may increase skin sensitivity to sunlight, raising the risk of sunburn.
Absorbed - Retinyl Palmitate can be absorbed through the skin and enter the bloodstream.
Cancer - Some studies suggest that Retinyl Palmitate may speed up the development of skin tumors when exposed to sunlight, though evidence is mixed.
Confidence: HIGH
parfum 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
aqua water eau
⚠️5/10
Aqua Water Eau is simply water, a common solvent in baby products, very safe for topical use in 2-5 year olds.
Confidence: HIGH
cocamidopropyl 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
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
ethylhexylglycerin
✅2/10

Confidence: HIGH
peg 150 distearate
✅2/10
For preschoolers and young children (2–5 years): this ingredient is usually low risk for skin irritation when used normally, but there are concerns about possible contamination during manufacturing that can raise risk if not properly controlled.

No Known Risk - Shea butter is widely used in baby skincare products and is generally considered safe for topical use. There is no strong evidence linking it to irritation, allergies, hormone disruption, or other health risks in babies. Rare allergic reactions may occur, but these are uncommon and not specific to infants. Current research and regulatory guidance do not identify any significant risks for babies when shea butter is used topically.
Confidence: HIGH
caprylyl glycol
✅1/10
For children ages 2–5 (toddlers and preschoolers), this ingredient is generally safe on the skin when it’s in everyday products like baby lotions, wipes, and creams. It helps keep skin moist and helps products stay free of unwanted germs. Most children won’t have a problem with it.
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
cocos nucifera coconut oil
✅1/10

No Known Risk - Health and regulatory reviews (including Canadian and U.S. assessments and industry safety panels) find panthenol has no reported hazards above a low level for topical use. It is not expected to harm organs, does not appear to build up in the body or the environment, and common concerns (cancer, allergies, reproductive effects) were rated low. There are some industry notes about safe use levels and a few data gaps, but no higher-level health risks were identified.
Confidence: HIGH
polyquaternium 10
✅1/10
Polyquaternium-10 is generally safe for toddlers and preschoolers (ages 2–5) when used as part of normal skin and hair products. It rarely irritates and is commonly used to make hair soft and skin feel smooth.
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 lauroamphoacetate
✅1/10
For preschoolers (ages 2–5), this is a mild cleansing ingredient and is usually safe when it is in rinse-off products like shampoo or body wash. Some reports show it can sometimes irritate skin or eyes and there are concerns about trace impurities, so a little caution is wise.
