Ingredients Analysis (9 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

Hydrated Silica

✅1/10

Hydrated silica is usually low risk for toddlers and preschoolers when used on the skin. It’s often in cleansers and creams as a mild scrub or thickener and doesn’t easily get through healthy skin. Still, some studies and reviews note possible risks in animals and questions about how it behaves in the environment, so a little caution is wise with young children.

Confidence: MEDIUM

Hydrolyzed Corn Starch

✅1/10

For children aged 2–5 (toddlers and preschoolers): hydrolyzed corn starch is usually safe when used in creams and lotions on normal, unbroken skin. Safety reviewers list only low concerns for cancer, allergies, and developmental effects.

No Known Risk - Available safety information shows low concern for cancer, allergies/immune effects, developmental or reproductive harm, and use restrictions for topical use. A cosmetic industry safety review notes only routine recommendations (limits on impurities or concentrations) rather than a health hazard. Based on this, no meaningful health risks have been identified for normal topical use of this ingredient.

Confidence: HIGH

Maltodextrin

✅1/10

For toddlers and young children (2-5 years), maltodextrin used on the skin is usually low risk. It’s often added to creams as a binder or to make the texture smoother. Major safety reviews find little concern for cancer, allergies, or growth/reproductive harm.

No Known Risk - Government and independent reviews find this ingredient safe for typical use. The U.S. food safety agency lists it as allowed for food, and a Canadian health agency says it is not expected to be toxic and is a low human-health priority. A cosmetic expert panel notes only routine limits on concentration or impurities. There are no identified health concerns above low for cancer, allergies, reproduction, or organ damage in the available assessments.

Confidence: HIGH

Sodium Bicarbonate

✅1/10

For toddlers and preschoolers (2–5 years), sodium bicarbonate (baking soda) is usually safe on the skin when used diluted and for short times. It is low risk for serious health problems but can irritate sensitive skin if used too concentrated or left on too long.

No Known Risk - Government and industry safety reviews find no clear hazards for normal topical use. The U.S. FDA allows limited food uses; Environment Canada says it is not expected to be toxic or to build up in the body; an industry safety panel notes some data gaps and sets safe use limits but does not identify a health risk when used as intended. Based on these assessments, there are no known health risks for typical topical use.

Confidence: HIGH

Sodium Starch Octenylsuccinate

✅1/10

For toddlers and preschoolers (ages 2-5), this ingredient is considered very low risk when used in skin creams and lotions. It’s a modified plant starch used to thicken and stabilize products and is unlikely to cause harm in normal use.

No Known Risk - Government and industry safety reviews found this ingredient is not expected to be toxic to organs, the environment, or to cause cancer, allergy, or reproductive harm. Those reviews note only low-level concerns and advise limits on concentration or purity in products, but they do not identify a health risk when the ingredient is used as intended.

Confidence: HIGH

Tribasic Calcium Phosphate

✅1/10

For children aged 2–5 years (toddlers, preschoolers, young children), calcium phosphate used on the skin in normal products is generally safe. Health and regulatory reviews (U.S. Food and Drug Administration; Environment Canada; Cosmetic Ingredient Review) show low concern for serious harms. The main possible issue is mild irritation to the skin, eyes, or breathing if dust or powder is inhaled or the product gets into the eyes or nose.

No Known Risk - Reviewed safety assessments and government reviews show low concern for people. Authorities classify it as not expected to be toxic, not likely to build up in the body, and allowed for limited use in foods. Reports about skin/eye/lung irritation are low or not clearly proven. Taken together, there are no risks above low for normal topical use according to those safety reviews (Environment Canada, US FDA, Cosmetic Ingredient Review).

Confidence: HIGH

Water" }

✅0/10
