Ingredients Analysis (15 found)

Aqua

⚠️5/10

Aqua is water, a common solvent in baby shampoos and bodywashes, very safe for topical use on 2-5 year olds with no known risks.

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

Acrylates Copolymer

✅2/10

For toddlers and preschoolers (ages 2-5), Acrylates Copolymer is usually low risk when used in normal skin products. The biggest issues are possible skin or eye irritation and rare contamination from leftover chemicals used in making the ingredient.

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

Cocamidopropyl Hydroxysultaine

✅2/10

For toddlers and preschoolers (ages 2-5), this is a mild cleansing ingredient used mostly in shampoos and body washes. It is usually safe in rinse-off products, but there are notes from safety reviews about possible skin or eye irritation and about possible contaminant impurities.

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 Lauroyl Glucosides Hydroxypropylsulfonate

✅2/10

Sodium Lauroyl Glucosides Hydroxypropylsulfonate is a mild surfactant used in baby shampoos and body washes. It is generally safe with minor irritation risk for 2-5 year olds.

No Known Risk - Sodium Lauroyl Glucosides Hydroxypropylsulfonate is considered a mild, non-irritating surfactant derived from natural sources. There is no evidence in current research linking it to irritation, allergies, hormone disruption, cancer, or other health risks in babies when used topically.

Confidence: HIGH

Dipotassium Glycyrrhizate

✅1/10

For toddlers and young children (2–5 years): this licorice-derived ingredient is generally safe on the skin at the low levels normally used in wipes, lotions and creams.

No Known Risk - Available safety reviews report only low-level concerns and find the ingredient safe for skin use when kept at low concentrations and with limits on impurities. The industry safety panel also assumes low skin absorption. The provided data does not show any higher-level risks (like harm to organs, hormones, brain development, cancer, or asthma) for normal topical use.

Confidence: HIGH

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

Guar Hydroxypropyltrimonium Chloride

✅1/10

This ingredient is a mild conditioner used in shampoos and washes and is generally considered low risk for toddlers and preschoolers (2-5 years). Most experts say it is safe when used in normal rinse-off products.

Confidence: HIGH

Panthenol

✅1/10

Panthenol is generally safe for children aged 2-5 (toddlers and preschoolers). It’s used to hydrate and soothe skin and usually does not cause harm.

No Known Risk - Health and regulatory reviews (including Canadian and U.S. assessments and industry safety panels) find panthenol has no reported hazards above a low level for topical use. It is not expected to harm organs, does not appear to build up in the body or the environment, and common concerns (cancer, allergies, reproductive effects) were rated low. There are some industry notes about safe use levels and a few data gaps, but no higher-level health risks were identified.

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

Sodium Lauroyl Methyl Isethionate

✅1/10

For children aged 2–5 years (toddlers and preschoolers) this ingredient is usually safe when used in rinse-off products like shampoos and body washes. It cleans well and is not linked to serious long-term harm, but it can sometimes irritate skin or eyes if concentrated or left on the skin.

No Known Risk - A formal cosmetic safety review found this ingredient safe for use in personal care products when used within set concentration or use limits. The only flagged issues are low-level concerns about possible skin/eye/lung irritation and the need for use limits; no higher concerns (like cancer, hormone disruption, or developmental harm) were identified above a low level. Some product standards still limit its use unless makers supply safety data.

Confidence: MEDIUM

Pyrus Malus Apple Fruit Extract

✅1/10

For preschoolers (2-5 years), apple fruit extract is generally low risk and is often used to soften and condition skin. Most children will not have problems, but a few studies show it can irritate eyes or skin in some situations.

No Known Risk - Independent cosmetic safety reviewers have judged apple fruit extract safe for use on skin when it is formulated correctly and kept at normal concentrations. Some limited tests note mild eye or skin irritation at high doses, but these findings are rare and do not show clear harm to growth, hormones, or cancer risk. For normal topical use, there are no confirmed, meaningful risks for children.

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.
