Ingredients Analysis (24 found)

Alcohol
🚨6/10
Alcohol can cause skin dryness irritation and increase absorption of other chemicals not ideal for baby skin often used as preservative or antiseptic
Confidence: HIGH
Parfum
⚠️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
Lactic Acid
⚠️4/10
For toddlers and preschoolers (ages 2–5) lactic acid is not automatically dangerous but needs caution. Small amounts in gentle, rinse-off products or low-concentration lotions are usually OK. Strong acids, professional peels, or high-strength leave-on products are not recommended for young children.
Banned - This ingredient is restricted in some places and must follow rules about how it is made and used. A Canadian safety list and government guidance limit its use, and industry safety panels set rules on how much can be in products.
Absorbed - This acid can help other things pass through the skin and can get into the body more easily. A safety review paper lists it as a penetration enhancer, so it may raise how much of a product is absorbed.
Sun Burn - Industry safety guidance says it can raise the skin's sensitivity to the sun unless products are made to prevent that or directions tell you to use sun protection.
Confidence: MEDIUM
Sodium Cetearyl Sulfate
⚠️4/10
Sodium Cetearyl Sulfate is not a recognized ingredient name and may be a misreading or typo. Cannot assess safety without correct identification.
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
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
Ascorbyl Palmitate
2/10
For toddlers and preschoolers (2–5 years), this vitamin C form is generally low risk when used in normal, low-strength skin products. But a lab study found it can make skin cells more likely to be damaged by UV-B light, and safety reviewers set limits on how much can be used. So we recommend being cautious.
Confidence: MEDIUM
Chamomilla Recutita (Matricaria) Flower Extract
2/10
For 2–5 year olds (toddlers, preschoolers): this chamomile flower extract is usually low risk on the skin when used in small amounts, but some children can get a skin allergy, especially if they are allergic to daisies or ragweed.
No Known Risk - Reviewed safety panels and chemical agencies found only limited or unclear evidence of harm from chamomile flower extract when used on the skin. Expert reviews say it is generally safe for cosmetic use with normal concentrations, and studies that suggested possible effects were small or mixed. Because no clear, higher-than-low concerns were identified, there are no specific risks to report.
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
Sodium Ascorbate
2/10
For toddlers and preschoolers (2-5 years), sodium ascorbate (a form of vitamin C) is usually low risk when used on healthy, unbroken skin in normal amounts. The main concern is skin allergy — some expert reviews say it can trigger skin reactions.
Confidence: MEDIUM
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
Sodium Hydroxide
2/10
For toddlers and preschoolers (ages 2–5), this ingredient can be safe when it’s used in very small amounts and the final product is pH-balanced for skin. It is a strong chemical by itself and can irritate or burn if concentrated or not properly neutralized.
Confidence: HIGH
Sodium Lactate
2/10
For children aged 2–5 (toddlers and preschoolers): sodium lactate is usually used to help skin stay hydrated and is generally low risk. But it can make skin absorb other ingredients more easily, and some safety reviews recommend limits on how it’s used, so we treat it with care in young children.
Confidence: MEDIUM
Allantoin
1/10
For toddlers and preschoolers (2-5 years), allantoin is generally safe. It is used to calm and soften skin and usually does not cause harm at the small amounts found in lotions and wipes.
No Known Risk - Government and industry safety reviews find no evidence that topical use of this ingredient harms organs, builds up in the body, or damages the environment. Reviewers do note some gaps in the safety data and recommend following concentration limits and proper testing for products, but no real hazards were identified for normal skin use.
Confidence: HIGH
Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride
1/10
For toddlers and preschoolers (ages 2-5), this ingredient is very low risk when used on the skin. It works as a gentle, lightweight skin oil and is not known to cause cancer, developmental issues, or strong allergic reactions in typical skincare use.
Confidence: HIGH
Cetearyl Alcohol
1/10
Cetearyl alcohol is a mild fatty alcohol used to soften and thicken lotions and creams. For toddlers and young children (ages 2–5) it is usually safe on the skin and is not commonly linked to serious harms.
Confidence: HIGH
Decyl Oleate
1/10
For children aged 2-5 (toddlers, young children), Decyl Oleate is generally safe for normal skin. It is an emollient that helps skin feel soft, and serious harms are unlikely.
No Known Risk - Safety reviews by the Cosmetic Ingredient Review panel and Environment Canada find no clear health hazards for normal topical use. They do note it is allowed in cosmetics with concentration limits and that there are small data gaps, but overall it is not expected to harm organs, to build up in the body, or to be persistent in the environment. At common use levels there are no known health risks.
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
Glycerin
1/10
For toddlers and young children (2–5 years old), glycerin used in lotions and wipes is generally safe. It helps skin hold moisture and rarely causes harm.
Confidence: HIGH
Lecithin
1/10
For toddlers and preschoolers (2–5 years), lecithin in creams is usually low risk. It helps products feel smooth and holds ingredients together. Still, some children can get allergic reactions, and there are reports about contamination and about lecithin helping other ingredients get through the skin.
Confidence: MEDIUM
Sodium Acetate
1/10
For toddlers and preschoolers (2-5 years), sodium acetate is usually safe in skin products. It’s a mild salt used to keep a product’s acidity steady and is considered low risk when used at normal low levels.
No Known Risk - Government and independent safety reviews find no higher-than-low concerns for sodium acetate. A U.S. food agency lists it as safe for certain food uses, a Canadian health assessment says it is not expected to be toxic and is a low human-health priority, and an independent cosmetics review notes it is used safely at limited concentrations (while pointing out some data gaps). There are no identified medium-or-higher concerns for cancer, hormone or reproductive harm, organ damage, bioaccumulation, or environmental toxicity for normal topical use.
Confidence: HIGH
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
Paraffinum liquidum
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
Water (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.
Confidence: HIGH
