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
calendula officinalis extract
1/10
For children ages 2-5 (toddlers and preschoolers), calendula (marigold) extract is generally safe to use on the skin and is considered low risk for serious harms. It can be soothing, but a small number of children can get an allergic reaction, especially if they are sensitive to marigolds or other plants in the daisy family.
No Known Risk - Reviewed safety information finds low concern for cancer, allergic or immune effects, and developmental or reproductive harms for this topical plant extract. An industry safety panel (Cosmetic Ingredient Review) did note some data gaps and recommends limits on concentration and control of impurities, but no serious hazards were identified for normal skin use. Because formal safety reviews rate the concerns as low, there are no known health risks for typical topical use.
Confidence: MEDIUM

No Known Risk - Coconut oil is widely used topically for babies and is generally considered safe.
