Ingredients Analysis (20 found)

Mentha Piperita Oil

🚨7/10

Peppermint oil can cause skin irritation and respiratory issues in young children often used for fragrance or cooling effect

Irritant - Peppermint oil is known to cause skin irritation, redness, and rashes, especially on sensitive baby skin due to its menthol content.

Asthma - The strong menthol vapors from peppermint oil can trigger or worsen breathing issues, including asthma, in sensitive children and infants.

Absorbed - Essential oils like peppermint oil can be absorbed through the skin, and babies have a higher skin absorption rate, increasing systemic exposure.

Confidence: HIGH

Whole Egg Powder

🚨7/10

Whole Egg Powder can cause allergic reactions in children and is not appropriate for topical baby products likely included as a protein or emulsifier

Irritant - Whole egg powder can cause skin irritation or allergic reactions, especially in babies with egg allergies or sensitive skin.

Confidence: HIGH

Cymbopogon Citratus Leaf Oil

🚨6/10

Lemongrass oil can cause skin irritation and allergic reactions in young children likely used for fragrance

Irritant - Lemongrass oil contains citral, which is known to cause skin irritation, redness, or rashes, especially on sensitive baby skin.

Eczema - Essential oils like lemongrass can trigger or worsen eczema and similar skin conditions in sensitive individuals, including infants.

Confidence: HIGH

Peppermint Oil

🚨6/10

Peppermint oil can cause skin irritation and sensitization in young children especially in topical products like shampoo and bodywash. Use with caution for 2-5 years.

Confidence: HIGH

Triethanolamine

⚠️5/10

For toddlers and preschoolers (ages 2-5), this ingredient can irritate skin and can cause allergic reactions in some people. There is also a manufacturing contamination concern (nitrosamines). Overall, it’s a moderate concern for this age group.

Immune system - Multiple safety reviews note that triethanolamine shows evidence of immune and allergy effects in people, including reports of immune system or allergy concerns and respiratory allergic reactions (noted by cosmetic safety reviewers and occupational health assessments). This means it can affect the immune response in children who are exposed.

Irritant - A cosmetic safety review found strong evidence that triethanolamine is a human skin toxicant or allergen. That means it can cause skin redness, itching, or rashes—especially on sensitive or young skin.

Asthma - An occupational health review lists triethanolamine as a human respiratory toxicant or allergen, so inhalation or skin exposure may worsen breathing problems or trigger asthma-like responses in sensitive children.

Eczema - Because triethanolamine is reported as a skin allergen/toxicant, it can trigger or worsen eczema and similar skin conditions in babies and children prone to eczema.

Organ Risk - A national environmental agency classifies triethanolamine as expected to be toxic or harmful to non-reproductive organs, and regulatory toxicology notes animal studies showing effects at moderate doses. Repeated or high exposures could harm organs such as the liver or kidneys.

Banned - Cosmetic safety reviews and regional cosmetic rules place limits on how this ingredient may be used and at what concentrations, and some regulations restrict its use in certain products. This means some countries impose legal use or concentration limits.

Cancer - There is a high-listed concern about contamination with nitrosamines (a class of chemicals linked to cancer). While the ingredient itself is not judged likely to cause cancer, the potential for nitrosamine contamination raises a cancer-related risk from impurities.

Confidence: HIGH

Lemongrass Leaf Oil

⚠️5/10

Lemongrass Leaf Oil is a natural essential oil with potential skin irritation risk in young children. Use with caution in topical baby products like shampoo and bodywash.

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

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

Ceteareth 20

✅3/10

For toddlers and preschoolers (2–5 years), this ingredient is usually low risk but should be used with care because safety notes list contamination risks and possible irritation.

Confidence: HIGH

Polyquaternium 7

✅3/10

For children 2–5 years (toddlers and preschoolers), polyquaternium-7 is usually low risk when used in small amounts and in rinse-off products like shampoos. It is not commonly linked to cancer or reproductive harm, but some safety reviews and regulators raise concerns about impurities and allowed uses.

Confidence: MEDIUM

Ethylene Glycol Monostearate

✅2/10

Ethylene Glycol Monostearate is used as an emulsifier and opacifier and is generally considered safe for topical use in children

Confidence: MEDIUM

Ethylhexylglycerin

✅2/10

For toddlers and preschoolers (ages 2-5): usually safe in small amounts in lotions, creams, and wipes. Most children will not have a problem, but a few people can get skin irritation or an allergic rash.

Confidence: HIGH

Lauryl Glucoside

✅2/10

For kids 2-5 years old (toddlers and preschoolers), Lauryl Glucoside is usually safe when used in normal rinse-off products like shampoos and body washes. It has a low chance of causing serious problems but can sometimes irritate skin or eyes and rarely trigger an allergic skin reaction.

Confidence: HIGH

Propanediol

✅2/10

For children aged 2–5 years (toddlers and preschoolers), propanediol is generally low risk when used in normal amounts in creams, lotions or wipes. However, it can sometimes cause skin irritation and may help other ingredients pass through the skin more easily, so it needs a little extra caution with young children.

Confidence: MEDIUM

Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Juice

✅1/10

For children ages 2–5 (toddlers and preschoolers): aloe vera leaf juice is usually safe on the skin when used in normal, child-friendly products. A small number of people can get irritation or an allergic reaction.

Confidence: HIGH

Aloe Vera

✅1/10

Aloe vera is commonly used in baby products for soothing skin and is generally safe for ages 2-5 years topically

Confidence: HIGH

Cetearyl Alcohol

✅1/10

Cetearyl alcohol is a mild fatty alcohol used to soften and thicken lotions and creams. For toddlers and young children (ages 2–5) it is usually safe on the skin and is not commonly linked to serious harms.

Confidence: HIGH

Coconut Oil

✅1/10

Coconut oil is widely used in baby care for moisturizing and is generally safe for 2-5 years unless allergic

No Known Risk - Coconut oil is widely used topically for babies and is generally considered safe. There is no strong evidence linking it to irritation, allergies, hormone disruption, cancer, or other health risks when used on healthy baby skin. Rare allergic reactions are possible, but not common enough to warrant a risk label based on current research.

Confidence: HIGH

Colloidal Oatmeal

✅0/10

Colloidal oatmeal is generally safe for children 2-5 years (toddlers, preschoolers). It’s often used to soothe dry, itchy or irritated skin.

No Known Risk - The ingredient's safety review shows only low-level concerns for cancer, allergies or immune effects, developmental/reproductive harm, and use limits. No hazards above low were identified for topical use in the available review, so no significant health risks were found.

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.
