Ingredients Analysis (20 found)

fragrance
⚠️5/10
Perfume in baby products can cause skin irritation or allergies in 2-5 year olds. It is likely included for fragrance but should be used with caution.
Irritant - Fragrance mixtures often contain chemicals that can cause skin irritation, redness, or rashes, especially on sensitive baby skin.
Eczema - Fragrances are known triggers for eczema flare-ups and can worsen symptoms in babies with sensitive or atopic skin.
Asthma - Fragrance chemicals can release volatile organic compounds (VOCs) that may worsen asthma or breathing issues in babies and children.
Hormones - Some fragrance ingredients, such as certain phthalates, are suspected endocrine disruptors that may interfere with hormone development.
Absorbed - Certain fragrance chemicals can be absorbed through the skin and detected in the bloodstream, raising concerns for systemic exposure.
Breast Milk - Some fragrance components, including phthalates, have been detected in breast milk, indicating they can pass from mother to baby.
Banned - Some fragrance ingredients are banned or restricted in the EU and other countries due to health concerns.
Builds Up - Certain fragrance chemicals, such as some phthalates and musks, can accumulate in the body over time with repeated exposure.
Long-Term Risk - Long-term exposure to some fragrance chemicals has been linked to chronic health effects, including hormone disruption and allergic diseases.
Confidence: HIGH
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
eau
⚠️5/10
Eau is water in French and is safe as a solvent in baby shampoos and bodywashes for ages 2-5 years
Confidence: HIGH
parfum
⚠️5/10
Parfum is a fragrance blend that can cause skin irritation or allergies in sensitive children aged 2-5. It is common in shampoos and bodywashes for scent.
Confidence: HIGH
cocamidopropyl betaine
⚠️4/10
For 2–5 year olds (preschool children), this ingredient is usually okay when it’s in products you rinse off, like kids’ shampoos and body washes. A small number of children can get skin irritation or an allergic reaction.
Immune system - Cosmetic safety reviews (Cosmetic Ingredient Review and draft safety reports) report limited evidence that cocamidopropyl betaine can sensitize skin or trigger allergic reactions. That means it can affect the immune system in some people, especially those with sensitive skin.
Irritant - Industry safety assessments note limited evidence of skin sensitization and explicitly warn the ingredient may be unsafe in products left on the skin (not rinsed off). This shows it can cause redness, itching, or irritation for some users.
Eczema - Safety panels and reports observed cases of sensitization and recommend limits on use and product types. Because it can provoke skin reactions, it may trigger or worsen eczema in sensitive children.
Cancer - Regulatory and industry reviews flag contamination concerns for this ingredient, including nitrosamines and related amines. Nitrosamines are known to be carcinogenic, so impurity risks raise a cancer concern unless impurities are controlled as industry reviewers recommend.
Banned - Expert panels and tentative regulatory reports recommend use, concentration, and manufacturing restrictions for this ingredient and note it is unsafe in some product types (leave-on). While not universally banned, it is subject to regulatory or industry limits in some contexts.
Environmental - A national environmental agency (Environment Canada) flagged this ingredient as a suspected environmental toxin, indicating possible harm to ecosystems if released into the environment.
Confidence: HIGH
sodium laureth sulfate
⚠️4/10
For toddlers and preschoolers (2-5 years), this foaming ingredient is generally okay in rinse-off products like shampoos and washes but can irritate sensitive skin or eyes. There are also concerns about small amounts of manufacturing impurities that some safety reviews point out.
Irritant - A formal safety review (Cosmetic Ingredient Review) found strong evidence that this ingredient can irritate skin, eyes, and lungs in people. That means babies or children may get redness, stinging, or sore eyes if exposed.
Organ Risk - A government health assessment (Environment Canada) classifies this ingredient as likely to be harmful to body organs with a medium human-health priority. Repeated or heavy exposure could affect organs like the liver or kidneys.
Cancer - Safety checks flag the ingredient for contamination by ethylene oxide and 1,4‑dioxane. These contaminants are known cancer-linked chemicals in regulatory and safety assessments, so contamination raises a cancer concern if present.
Confidence: HIGH
melatonin
✅3/10
For toddlers (2-5 years), topical melatonin is generally considered low risk by ingredient reviews, but because it is a hormone and research on skin use in young children is limited, it should be used carefully.
No Known Risk - The supplied safety information shows only low-level concerns (for cancer, allergies/immune effects, and developmental or reproductive effects) for topical melatonin and lists no higher-level or specific risks. For topical use, no clear hazards to a child’s hormones, organs, breathing, or long-term health were identified in the provided data.
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-150 distearate
✅2/10
For preschoolers and young children (2–5 years): this ingredient is usually low risk for skin irritation when used normally, but there are concerns about possible contamination during manufacturing that can raise risk if not properly controlled.
Confidence: MEDIUM
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
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
tetrasodium edta
✅2/10
For toddlers and young children (ages 2–5) this ingredient is generally low risk when used in regular skin or rinse-off products. The biggest issue is irritation to the skin and eyes, and it can make other ingredients soak into the skin more easily.
Confidence: MEDIUM
tocopheryl acetate
✅2/10
Usually safe for most toddlers and preschoolers when used on healthy skin in small amounts.
Confidence: HIGH
vitamin e
✅2/10
Vitamin E used on the skin of toddlers and young children (ages 2-5) is usually low risk and often helps moisturize and protect the skin. Most kids will not have problems with normal, well-made products.
Confidence: MEDIUM
chamomile
✅1/10
Matricaria Chamomilla is chamomile extract commonly used for soothing skin and is generally safe for 2-5 years in topical products
Confidence: HIGH
cocamidopropylamine oxide
✅1/10
For toddlers and young children (2-5 years), this ingredient is generally low risk when used in rinse-off products like shampoos and body washes.
Confidence: MEDIUM
ormenis multicaulis extract
✅1/10
For toddlers and preschoolers (ages 2–5), this chamomile-type extract is likely low risk when used on the skin in normal amounts. Available safety summaries show low concerns, but there is limited data overall.
Confidence: MEDIUM
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
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.
