Ingredients Analysis (12 found)

Bioflavonoids

⚠️5/10

Bioflavonoids is a vague term covering many compounds with variable safety. Some can cause allergies or phototoxicity. Use with caution in 2-5 year olds in topical products.

Irritant - Bioflavonoids is a broad category that includes compounds known to cause allergic reactions or skin irritation in some individuals, especially those with sensitive skin such as infants.

Sun Burn - Certain bioflavonoids can increase photosensitivity, making the skin more prone to sunburn when exposed to sunlight.

Confidence: HIGH

Lactic Acid

⚠️4/10

For toddlers and preschoolers (ages 2–5) lactic acid is not automatically dangerous but needs caution. Small amounts in gentle, rinse-off products or low-concentration lotions are usually OK. Strong acids, professional peels, or high-strength leave-on products are not recommended for young children.

Banned - This ingredient is restricted in some places and must follow rules about how it is made and used. A Canadian safety list and government guidance limit its use, and industry safety panels set rules on how much can be in products.

Absorbed - This acid can help other things pass through the skin and can get into the body more easily. A safety review paper lists it as a penetration enhancer, so it may raise how much of a product is absorbed.

Sun Burn - Industry safety guidance says it can raise the skin's sensitivity to the sun unless products are made to prevent that or directions tell you to use sun protection.

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

Matricaria Recutita Flower Extract

✅2/10

For children 2-5 years (toddlers, young children), chamomile flower extract is usually safe on the skin when used in normal amounts found in everyday lotions, wipes or shampoos. The biggest risk is skin allergy, especially if your child has ragweed or pollen allergies or very sensitive skin.

No Known Risk - Major safety reviews and a small number of human case reports show only low or unclear concerns. Experts have judged the ingredient safe for topical use when used with normal concentration limits, and reported allergic or nerve-related cases are rare and not clearly linked to the ingredient. Because there is no clear, above-low evidence of harm, no specific risks are flagged.

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

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

Arginine

✅1/10

Arginine is an amino acid used in skin products and is very low risk for children aged 2-5 years (toddlers and preschoolers). Reviews by government and industry experts do not show safety problems for cancer, allergies, or development.

No Known Risk - Government and safety reviews find no health concerns above low for topical arginine. The FDA has designated it safe for certain uses, Environment Canada says it is not expected to be toxic, persistent, or to build up in the body, and the Cosmetic Ingredient Review notes only routine recommendations about concentration and purity. For these reasons, no higher-level risks were identified for typical topical use.

Confidence: HIGH

Calendula Officinalis Flower Extract

✅1/10

For toddlers and young children (2–5 years): this marigold flower extract is generally low risk when put on unbroken skin. It’s used to calm and soothe skin and most children tolerate it well.

No Known Risk - Safety reviews for this calendula flower extract show only low-level concerns for cancer, allergies, and effects on growth/reproduction. Industry safety panels note limits on how much can be used and say some data are missing, but there is no clear evidence of real harm when used on the skin. Some verified product programs restrict its use unless makers provide extra safety information.

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

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

Sodium Cocoyl Glutamate

✅1/10

For children 2-5 years (toddlers, preschoolers), this ingredient is generally safe in topical cleansers and rinse-off products. It’s mild and not linked to cancer or major allergic or developmental concerns.

No Known Risk - Independent cosmetic safety reviewers and a European chemical regulator evaluated this ingredient. They found it safe for use in cosmetics with some limits, said it is not likely to cause cancer, and noted only small, limited signs of eye or skin irritation. No higher-level health concerns were identified.

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.
