Ingredients Analysis (32 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
Menthol
⚠️5/10
For toddlers and young children (ages 2–5), menthol can be used sometimes but with caution. It helps create a cooling feeling but can cause skin allergies and breathing or eye irritation in some kids.
Immune system - Menthol is identified as a known human allergen and flagged with strong evidence of human toxicant/allergen by regulatory bodies (EU Cosmetics Directive and the U.S. EPA). That means it can trigger allergic or immune reactions when put on the skin.
Irritant - Regulatory assessments list menthol as a human allergen/toxicant, which is linked to skin reactions like redness, stinging, or contact dermatitis—especially when applied topically to sensitive skin.
Eczema - Because menthol is a recognized human allergen (per the EU cosmetics review and U.S. EPA findings), it can trigger or worsen eczema and similar inflammatory skin conditions in susceptible people.
Confidence: MEDIUM
Citrus Aurantium Dulcis Peel Oil
⚠️5/10
Citrus Aurantium Dulcis Peel Oil is orange peel oil used for fragrance but may cause irritation or sensitization in young children
Irritant - Orange peel oil contains limonene and other citrus compounds that can cause skin irritation, especially on sensitive baby skin.
Sun Burn - Orange peel oil can increase photosensitivity, making skin more prone to sunburn when exposed to sunlight.
Confidence: HIGH
Citrus Grandis Peel Oil
⚠️5/10
Citrus Paradisi Peel Oil is grapefruit peel oil which can cause skin irritation and photosensitivity in young children likely used for fragrance
Irritant - Grapefruit peel oil contains limonene and other citrus compounds that can cause skin irritation, especially on sensitive baby skin.
Sun Burn - Grapefruit peel oil contains furanocoumarins, which can increase photosensitivity and the risk of sunburn when applied topically.
Confidence: HIGH
Methylsulfonylmethane
⚠️4/10
Limited safety data for topical use in young children cannot confirm safety may be a misreading or typo
No Known Risk - Current research and safety data indicate that methylsulfonylmethane (MSM) is generally well-tolerated when used topically, with no significant evidence linking it to irritation, hormone disruption, cancer, or other health risks in babies. There are no known reports of adverse effects or long-term risks associated with topical use in infants.
Confidence: LOW
Tinctorius Seed Oil
⚠️4/10
Tinctorius Seed Oil is not a recognized cosmetic or topical ingredient name it may be a misreading or typo possibly referring to a seed oil but unclear
Confidence: HIGH
Methylparaben
3/10
Methylparaben is a preservative used to stop germs from growing in creams and shampoos. For children aged 2–5 years, it’s generally low to moderately risky. There are some signs it can cause rashes in sensitive kids and some scientific and regulatory reports raise questions about small hormone-like effects. Overall, it’s usually allowed at low amounts, but using extra caution with young children is sensible.
Confidence: MEDIUM
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
Cholecalciferol
2/10
For preschoolers (2–5 years) cholecalciferol used on the skin is generally low risk when used in small amounts on healthy skin. The main concern is not the ingredient itself but contamination that can happen during manufacturing.
Confidence: MEDIUM
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
PEG-8
2/10
PEG-8 is a polyethylene glycol used as a solvent and humectant in topical products. It is generally safe but may cause minor irritation in sensitive skin of young children.
Confidence: HIGH
Vanillin
2/10
Vanillin is a fragrance ingredient. For toddlers and young children (2–5 years), it is generally low risk for long-term harm, but some kids can get a skin allergy or irritation from it.
Confidence: HIGH
White Petrolatum
2/10

Calamine
1/10
Calamine is usually safe for short-term use on toddlers and preschoolers (ages 2-5) to calm itchy or irritated skin. Most concerns about serious effects are low, but some official sources have noted possible organ-related and environmental issues, so we recommend using it carefully and only as needed.
Confidence: HIGH
Hydroxytyrosol
1/10
Hydroxytyrosol is a mild antioxidant from olives. For children aged 2–5 (toddlers and preschoolers) it is considered low risk when used on the skin at normal amounts in skincare products.
No Known Risk - Reviewed available safety summaries for hydroxytyrosol as a topical ingredient. No hazards above a low level were identified for skin use, and no ingredient-specific restrictions or organ/system risks were reported. Based on the current safety information, there are no known real risks to babies or children from typical topical use.
Confidence: MEDIUM
Modified Corn Starch
1/10
Very safe for toddlers and preschoolers (2–5 years) when used in creams and lotions. Powders with this ingredient are also fine if you keep them away from your child’s face.
No Known Risk - Current studies show low concern for cancer, allergy, or growth problems with normal skin use. An independent cosmetic safety review panel provides safe-use guidance, and no major harms are seen in typical use.
Confidence: HIGH
Niacinamide
1/10
Niacinamide is usually safe for toddlers and preschoolers when used in small amounts in skin creams or lotions. It helps skin look and feel better and rarely causes serious problems.
No Known Risk - Major government and expert reviews find niacinamide to be low risk for normal topical use. A national environmental health agency classifies it as not expected to be harmful to organs or the environment. The U.S. food regulator allows limited uses in food, and an independent cosmetic safety panel has set recommended concentration limits after review. While a few animal studies at very high doses reported tumor findings and reviewers note some data gaps about maximum ‘as-used’ concentrations, the overall conclusion from these agencies and safety panels is that routine topical use poses no significant known health risks.
