Confidence: MEDIUM
cyclopentasiloxane
3/10
For toddlers and preschoolers (2–5 years), cyclopentasiloxane used on the skin is generally low risk for occasional use. There are some animal studies showing hormone and nervous-system effects and environmental concerns, so we keep an extra cautious approach for little kids.
Confidence: MEDIUM
propylene glycol
3/10
For toddlers and preschoolers (2–5 years), propylene glycol in typical skin creams is usually low risk, but it can cause skin irritation or allergic reactions in some children. It can also help other ingredients get into the skin, so be careful with strong medicines in the same product.
Confidence: HIGH
beeswax
2/10
For toddlers and preschoolers (2–5 years), beeswax used on the skin is generally safe and helps seal in moisture. Most children in this age range do well with it.
Confidence: HIGH
cetyl PEG/PPG-10/1 dimethicone
2/10
For toddlers and young children (ages 2–5), this ingredient is usually low risk when used on normal skin. The bigger worry is that it can sometimes contain impurities from processing, not the ingredient itself.
Confidence: MEDIUM
PEG-12 dimethicone crosspolymer
2/10
For children ages 2–5 (toddlers and preschoolers), this silicone-based ingredient is generally considered low-risk on its own, but there is a notable concern about impurities that can sometimes be present.
Confidence: HIGH
2-hexanediol
2/10
2-hexanediol is a common preservative and humectant in topical products. It is generally safe with minor concerns for 2-5 year olds in sunscreens.
Confidence: HIGH
C12-15 alkyl benzoate
1/10
For toddlers and preschoolers (2–5 years), this ingredient is generally safe when used on the skin in normal products. It has low overall health concerns, but a small number of people can get skin sensitivity or redness.
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
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
ethylhexyl isononanoate
1/10
For children aged 2-5 (toddlers and preschoolers), this ingredient is generally safe when used on skin. Most long-term concerns are considered low. The main thing to watch for is mild irritation like redness or stinging.
No Known Risk - Available safety reviews and studies report only low-level concerns for cancer, allergies/immunity, and developmental or reproductive effects for topical use. An industry safety review (Cosmetic Ingredient Review) notes some data gaps and recommends limits on use, but it does not identify any clear hazards above low for normal skin use. Based on the current information, no real risks above low were found.
Confidence: HIGH
hydroxyacetophenone
1/10
For children ages 2–5 (toddlers and preschoolers), hydroxyacetophenone is usually low risk when used in normal skin products. Most people don’t have problems, but there are a few reports of skin irritation and one case of allergic contact dermatitis.
Confidence: MEDIUM
isopropyl palmitate
1/10
For toddlers and young children (2-5 years), this ingredient is usually safe. It helps moisturize and soften skin and is not linked to serious health risks. A small number of children may get mild irritation or pimples on sensitive skin.
No Known Risk - Reviews and government assessments did not find health hazards above a low level for normal topical use. Safety panels note use limits and some data gaps, but regulators have called it low priority for human health, do not expect it to build up in the body or the environment, and allow limited food uses. Taken together, current evidence does not show any health risks above low for typical use.
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
triethoxycaprylylsilane
1/10
For toddlers and preschoolers (2–5 years), this ingredient is low risk when used in normal amounts on the skin. It may rarely cause mild irritation and there is limited, low-level information suggesting it could affect hormones, but that evidence is weak.
No Known Risk - The available safety evaluations show only low or limited concerns — a possible link to hormone effects is listed as low, and reports of skin or eye irritation are limited. Environmental toxicity is noted but there are no stronger human-health hazards identified in the provided data. Because no concerns were reported above a low level, there are no specific higher-level risks flagged for children using this ingredient.
Confidence: MEDIUM
zinc oxide
1/10
Zinc oxide is generally safe for 2 to 5 year olds when used on skin. It acts as a barrier and is used in diaper creams and sunscreens.
Confidence: HIGH
ethylhexyl methoxycrylene
0/10
For toddlers and preschoolers (about 2–5 years old), this sunscreen ingredient is considered very low risk when used on normal skin in sunscreens made for kids and applied the way the label says.
No Known Risk - The available safety information for this topical ingredient shows only low-level concerns for cancer, allergies/immune effects, developmental and reproductive effects, and use restrictions. No higher-level hazards were reported in the provided assessments, so there are no notable risks identified based on the supplied data.
Confidence: HIGH
tocopherol
0/10
For toddlers and preschoolers (2–5 years), vitamin E (tocopherol) used in normal skin products is generally safe and gentle. It helps protect skin and oils and rarely causes problems.
Confidence: MEDIUM
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.
