Ingredients Analysis (16 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
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
cocamidopropyl hydroxysultaine
2/10
For toddlers and preschoolers (ages 2-5), this is a mild cleansing ingredient used mostly in shampoos and body washes. It is usually safe in rinse-off products, but there are notes from safety reviews about possible skin or eye irritation and about possible contaminant impurities.
Confidence: HIGH
disodium edta
2/10
For children aged 2–5 years (toddlers, preschoolers): usually low risk in small amounts. Main problems to watch for are skin or eye irritation, and it can slightly increase how much other ingredients get through the 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

Confidence: MEDIUM
sodium dehydroacetate
2/10
For preschool children (2–5 years old), this preservative is generally low risk when used in skin products that follow normal safety limits. It’s used to stop bacteria and mold from growing in creams and lotions. Reviews by government and scientific panels find low concern for cancer, allergy, and developmental issues at the small amounts used in cosmetics.
Confidence: MEDIUM
tocopheryl acetate
2/10
Usually safe for most toddlers and preschoolers when used on healthy skin in small amounts.
Confidence: HIGH
glycol stearate
1/10

Confidence: HIGH
hydrolyzed casein
1/10
For toddlers and preschoolers (ages 2-5), hydrolyzed casein is generally low risk when used on skin. Its main risk is causing an allergic skin reaction in children who are allergic to milk. Reviews by government and industry experts say it is not expected to be toxic but do note use limits and quality checks.
No Known Risk - Government and industry safety reviews do not find clear harms. A Canadian health assessment says this ingredient is not expected to be toxic, and an environmental review says it is not suspected to be an environmental toxin. An industry safety panel notes only that safe use can depend on how the ingredient is made and used. All common health concerns (cancer, allergies, developmental harm, and use limits) were rated low, so no risks above low were identified.
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
polyquaternium-11
1/10
For children 2–5 years old (toddlers and preschoolers), this ingredient is generally considered low risk when used on the skin in normal cosmetic or hair products. It is a conditioning polymer that helps products feel smooth and is not linked to major health problems in current safety reviews.
No Known Risk - A government review found this ingredient is not expected to be toxic to organs, and it is not likely to build up in the body or harm the environment. An industry safety panel notes limits on how it is used and some gaps in data, but no higher-level health concerns (like cancer, hormone or developmental risks) were identified. Based on those reviews, there are no known health risks above low concern.
Confidence: MEDIUM
sodium cocoyl isethionate
1/10
For children aged 2-5 (toddlers and preschoolers), this is generally a gentle cleansing ingredient and is low risk when used in normal wash-off products like shampoos and body washes.
No Known Risk - Reviews by a cosmetic safety review panel and a national environment agency found no significant health hazards. The ingredient is not thought to build up in the body or harm organs, and it is considered safe in products when used at the allowed levels (with different limits for rinse-off versus leave-on products). There are some notes about possible mild irritation and that safety limits are set, but overall no real health risks were identified.
Confidence: HIGH
ethyl-hexylglycerin
1/10
Ethyl-hexylglycerin is a common preservative and skin conditioning agent considered very safe for topical use in children aged 2-5 years in products like shampoo and bodywash.
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
