Ingredients Analysis (18 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
Triethanolamine
⚠️5/10
For toddlers and preschoolers (ages 2-5), this ingredient can irritate skin and can cause allergic reactions in some people. There is also a manufacturing contamination concern (nitrosamines). Overall, it’s a moderate concern for this age group.
Immune system - Multiple safety reviews note that triethanolamine shows evidence of immune and allergy effects in people, including reports of immune system or allergy concerns and respiratory allergic reactions (noted by cosmetic safety reviewers and occupational health assessments). This means it can affect the immune response in children who are exposed.
Irritant - A cosmetic safety review found strong evidence that triethanolamine is a human skin toxicant or allergen. That means it can cause skin redness, itching, or rashes—especially on sensitive or young skin.
Asthma - An occupational health review lists triethanolamine as a human respiratory toxicant or allergen, so inhalation or skin exposure may worsen breathing problems or trigger asthma-like responses in sensitive children.
Eczema - Because triethanolamine is reported as a skin allergen/toxicant, it can trigger or worsen eczema and similar skin conditions in babies and children prone to eczema.
Organ Risk - A national environmental agency classifies triethanolamine as expected to be toxic or harmful to non-reproductive organs, and regulatory toxicology notes animal studies showing effects at moderate doses. Repeated or high exposures could harm organs such as the liver or kidneys.
Banned - Cosmetic safety reviews and regional cosmetic rules place limits on how this ingredient may be used and at what concentrations, and some regulations restrict its use in certain products. This means some countries impose legal use or concentration limits.
Cancer - There is a high-listed concern about contamination with nitrosamines (a class of chemicals linked to cancer). While the ingredient itself is not judged likely to cause cancer, the potential for nitrosamine contamination raises a cancer-related risk from impurities.
Confidence: HIGH
Stearamide AMP
⚠️4/10
Stearamide AMP is not a recognized cosmetic or baby care ingredient name it may be a misreading or typo

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
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
Petrolatum
2/10
For toddlers and preschoolers, a small amount of high‑quality white petroleum jelly is generally safe to protect dry or irritated skin.
Confidence: MEDIUM-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
Carbomer
1/10
For toddlers and young children (2-5 years) carbomer is usually safe when used on the skin. It is a thickener found in many lotions and wipes. Long-term health risks are not expected, but there are worries about possible contamination and occasional skin or eye irritation.
Confidence: MEDIUM
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
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
Glyceryl Stearate
1/10

Confidence: HIGH
Glycol Stearate
1/10
For kids aged 2-5 (toddlers, preschoolers), glycol stearate is generally safe when used on normal, unbroken skin. It’s a common ingredient in creams and shampoos and is viewed as low risk for cancer, allergies, and effects on growth or reproduction.
Confidence: HIGH
Isopropyl Isostearate
1/10
For children 2–5 years old (toddlers and preschoolers), this ingredient is generally very low risk when used on normal skin in regular lotions or wipes. Experts have found low concern for cancer, allergies, and effects on growing bodies, and it does not seem to build up in the body.
No Known Risk - Reviewed safety assessments by an industry safety panel and a government chemical review found only low-level concerns (for cancer, allergies, development, and irritation). The industry review says the ingredient is safe in cosmetics when used with limits; the government review found it is not expected to harm organs or to build up in the body. There are some data gaps and the safety review used related chemicals in places, but no higher-than-low hazards were identified.
Confidence: MEDIUM
Magnesium Aluminum Silicate
1/10
For toddlers and preschoolers (ages 2-5), this mineral is generally safe to have in creams, lotions, and cleansers. It has low concern for cancer, allergies, or developmental harm and does not build up in the body.
No Known Risk - Independent safety reviews and government assessments (Environment Canada and an industry safety review) find this ingredient is not expected to be toxic to organs, not likely to build up in the body, and show only low concern for cancer, allergies, or reproductive harm. A European chemicals agency notes limited evidence of respiratory irritation, but that finding is minor. Overall, no health hazards above a low level were identified for typical topical use.
Confidence: HIGH
Stearic Acid
1/10
For toddlers and preschoolers (2-5 years), stearic acid is generally safe on the skin when used in normal baby or children’s creams and wipes. It has low concerns for cancer, allergies, or developmental effects according to regulatory reviews.
Confidence: HIGH
Tapioca Starch
0/10
Tapioca starch is generally safe for toddlers and preschoolers (2–5 years) when used on the skin. It’s commonly used to thicken products and absorb moisture and carries a very low health concern.
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.
