Ingredients Analysis (18 found)

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
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
Polybutene
2/10
For toddlers and preschoolers (2–5 years), polybutene is probably safe when used a little bit on normal, unbroken skin. It is used to make products smooth and sticky. There are small warnings from safety agencies about possible irritation and some other health signals, so we stay cautious.
Confidence: MEDIUM
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
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
Carbomer
1/10
For toddlers and young children (2-5 years) carbomer is usually safe when used on the skin. It is a thickener found in many lotions and wipes. Long-term health risks are not expected, but there are worries about possible contamination and occasional skin or eye irritation.
Confidence: MEDIUM
Cetyl Alcohol
1/10
For toddlers and preschoolers (2–5 years), cetyl alcohol is usually safe when used on normal, unbroken skin. It helps moisturize and thicken creams. Reactions are uncommon but possible.
Confidence: HIGH
Cetyl Palmitate
1/10
For toddlers and young children (2-5 years), cetyl palmitate is generally safe when used on the skin in normal amounts. It’s commonly used as a gentle moisturizer and thickener and is not linked to cancer or long-term harm. A small number of people may get mild skin or eye irritation.
No Known Risk - Reviews by an industry safety panel and a government assessment found only low-level concerns (mainly possible mild skin, eye, or lung irritation) and noted some data gaps. The government review did not find signs of organ harm, persistence, or buildup in the body. Because all health concerns were rated low and no stronger hazards were reported for normal topical use, there are no known meaningful risks for typical use. Note: some product verification programs ask for extra safety documentation before allowing this ingredient.
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
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
Mineral Oil
1/10
For children aged 2-5 (toddlers and preschoolers), mineral oil used occasionally on normal skin is generally low risk. It works as a moisturizer and skin protectant.
Confidence: MEDIUM
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
Pentylene Glycol
1/10
For 2–5 year olds (toddlers and preschoolers), pentylene glycol is usually safe when used on the skin. It helps keep products moist and has low overall health concerns, but some children may get mild skin irritation or an allergic reaction.
Confidence: HIGH
Shea Butter
1/10
Butyrospermum Parkii Shea Butter is a natural fat used as an emollient in baby products. It is very safe and commonly used in baby lotions and wipes.
No Known Risk - Shea butter is widely used in baby skincare products and is generally considered safe for topical use. There is no strong evidence linking it to irritation, allergies, hormone disruption, or other health risks in babies. Rare allergic reactions may occur, but these are uncommon and not specific to infants. Current research and regulatory guidance do not identify any significant risks for babies when shea butter is used topically.
Confidence: HIGH
Sodium Citrate
1/10
For toddlers and preschoolers (2–5 years) sodium citrate is generally safe. It’s a mild ingredient used to balance product pH and doesn’t tend to build up in the body or harm the environment. Problems are uncommon.
No Known Risk - Reviewed safety information shows only low-level concerns. U.S. food regulators say it is allowed for some food uses, a cosmetic safety panel notes allowed limits and some data gaps but does not show hazards at normal use, and a national environment agency finds it unlikely to harm organs, build up in the body, or persist in the environment. Because no health concern was reported above low, there are no specific risks identified for typical topical use.
Confidence: HIGH
Sorbitan Stearate
1/10
For children aged 2–5 years (toddlers and preschoolers), Sorbitan Stearate is generally safe when used in everyday lotions, creams, or wipes. Experts rate it as low concern for cancer, allergies, and effects on growth or reproduction.
No Known Risk - Multiple regulatory and expert safety reviews report low concern for cancer, allergies, developmental or reproductive harm, and organ toxicity for typical topical use. The ingredient is not expected to persist or build up in the body and is allowed for limited use in foods and cosmetics. Some reviews note gaps in exact use-level data, but overall assessments judge it safe at normal use levels, so no specific health risks were identified.
Confidence: HIGH
Tapioca Starch
0/10
Tapioca starch is generally safe for toddlers and preschoolers (2–5 years) when used on the skin. It’s commonly used to thicken products and absorb moisture and carries a very low health concern.
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.
Confidence: HIGH
