Ingredients Analysis (9 found)

Arnica Montana

⚠️5/10

For kids aged 2–5 years (toddlers and preschoolers), arnica used on the skin can cause irritation and allergic rashes. The main worry is skin allergy rather than long‑term harm, but experts note there isn’t enough data to be certain about all risks.

Irritant - Peer-reviewed studies report strong evidence that Arnica montana can act as a human skin toxicant or allergen. That means it can cause skin redness, itching, or rashes when used on the skin. A cosmetic ingredient review also notes there is not enough safety data, so reactions may be hard to predict.

Immune system - Scientific literature identifies Arnica montana as an allergen that triggers immune responses in people. This can lead to allergic reactions or sensitization, which is a real immune risk for babies and children who have sensitive skin.

Eczema - Because Arnica montana is reported to be a skin allergen, it can trigger or make eczema and similar skin conditions worse in sensitive individuals. Peer-reviewed evidence links it to skin allergy that may worsen existing eczema.

Confidence: MEDIUM

Calcarea Phosphorica

⚠️4/10

Calcarea Phosphorica is a homeopathic remedy not recognized as a standard cosmetic ingredient. Its safety profile in topical baby products is unclear and may be a misreading or typo.

Confidence: HIGH

Potassium Sorbate

✅2/10

For toddlers and young children (2–5 years), potassium sorbate is usually safe in small amounts in creams and lotions. The biggest issue is that it can cause skin allergies or irritation in some children.

Confidence: HIGH

Sodium Benzoate

✅2/10

For children ages 2-5 (toddlers, preschoolers), sodium benzoate is usually safe in small amounts when it's in products made for kids. Big safety reviewers and government agencies generally see low risk at the low levels used in lotions and wipes, but there are rules that limit how much can be used.

Confidence: HIGH

Chamomilla

✅2/10

Chamomile Flower Extract is generally safe and used for soothing skin in baby products but may cause mild allergic reactions in sensitive children aged 2-5 years.

Confidence: HIGH

Vegetable Glycerin

✅1/10

Vegetable glycerin is a common moisturizing agent in baby products. It is very safe for topical use in 2-5 year olds with minimal risk of irritation.

No Known Risk - Vegetable glycerin is widely used in topical products and is generally recognized as safe. There is no evidence linking it to hormone disruption, organ damage, cancer, or other listed risks. It is not known to cause irritation or allergic reactions in most cases and does not build up in the body or pass into breast milk in harmful amounts.

Confidence: HIGH

Xanthan Gum

✅1/10

For toddlers and preschoolers (2–5 years), xanthan gum is usually safe when used in creams, lotions and baby wipes. It thickens products and mainly stays on the skin. Most children do not have problems with it.

No Known Risk - Safety reviews and regulatory assessments find no health hazards above a low level for topical use. It is approved for limited use in food, classified as not expected to be toxic and a low human-health priority, and not suspected to be an environmental toxin. Cosmetic industry reviewers note only guidance on concentrations or purity. Because no concern was rated above low, no specific risks were identified for babies or children.

Confidence: HIGH

Purified Water

✅0/10

Eau purifiee is purified water commonly used as a safe base in baby wipes and lotions

No Known Risk - Purified water is widely recognized as safe for topical use, with no evidence linking it to irritation, allergies, or other health risks in babies. It is commonly used in baby products and medical settings without adverse effects.

Confidence: HIGH

Aqua

✅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.
