2-Hexanediol
1/10
For children aged 2–5 years (toddlers and young kids), this ingredient is generally low risk when used in normal skin products. Most safety reviews find low concern for long-term health effects, but a small risk of skin or eye irritation has been reported in some studies.
No Known Risk - Independent safety reviews (Cosmetic Ingredient Review) and the European Chemicals Agency do not find serious health hazards for normal skin use. They note only limited evidence of skin, eye, or lung irritation at higher doses and point out some data gaps, so overall the ingredient is rated low risk for typical topical use.

1/10
For toddlers and young children (2-5 years), this ingredient is usually safe. It helps moisturize and soften skin and is not linked to serious health risks. A small number of children may get mild irritation or pimples on sensitive skin.
No Known Risk - Reviews and government assessments did not find health hazards above a low level for normal topical use. Safety panels note use limits and some data gaps, but regulators have called it low priority for human health, do not expect it to build up in the body or the environment, and allow limited food uses. Taken together, current evidence does not show any health risks above low for typical use.
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
Zinc Oxide

Zinc oxide is generally safe for 2 to 5 year olds when used on skin. It acts as a barrier and is used in diaper creams and sunscreens.
Confidence: HIGH
Ethylhexyl Methoxycrylene
0/10

No Known Risk - The available safety information for this topical ingredient shows only low-level concerns for cancer, allergies/immune effects, developmental and reproductive effects, and use restrictions.

Confidence: HIGH

0/10
For toddlers and preschoolers (2–5 years), vitamin E (tocopherol) used in normal skin products is generally safe and gentle. It helps protect skin and oils and rarely causes problems.
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.
