Ingredients Analysis (19 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

cocamidopropyl betaine

⚠️4/10

For 2–5 year olds (preschool children), this ingredient is usually okay when it’s in products you rinse off, like kids’ shampoos and body washes. A small number of children can get skin irritation or an allergic reaction.

Immune system - Cosmetic safety reviews (Cosmetic Ingredient Review and draft safety reports) report limited evidence that cocamidopropyl betaine can sensitize skin or trigger allergic reactions. That means it can affect the immune system in some people, especially those with sensitive skin.

Irritant - Industry safety assessments note limited evidence of skin sensitization and explicitly warn the ingredient may be unsafe in products left on the skin (not rinsed off). This shows it can cause redness, itching, or irritation for some users.

Eczema - Safety panels and reports observed cases of sensitization and recommend limits on use and product types. Because it can provoke skin reactions, it may trigger or worsen eczema in sensitive children.

Cancer - Regulatory and industry reviews flag contamination concerns for this ingredient, including nitrosamines and related amines. Nitrosamines are known to be carcinogenic, so impurity risks raise a cancer concern unless impurities are controlled as industry reviewers recommend.

Banned - Expert panels and tentative regulatory reports recommend use, concentration, and manufacturing restrictions for this ingredient and note it is unsafe in some product types (leave-on). While not universally banned, it is subject to regulatory or industry limits in some contexts.

Environmental - A national environmental agency (Environment Canada) flagged this ingredient as a suspected environmental toxin, indicating possible harm to ecosystems if released into the environment.

Confidence: HIGH

sodium laureth sulfate

⚠️4/10

For toddlers and preschoolers (2-5 years), this foaming ingredient is generally okay in rinse-off products like shampoos and washes but can irritate sensitive skin or eyes. There are also concerns about small amounts of manufacturing impurities that some safety reviews point out.

Irritant - A formal safety review (Cosmetic Ingredient Review) found strong evidence that this ingredient can irritate skin, eyes, and lungs in people. That means babies or children may get redness, stinging, or sore eyes if exposed.

Organ Risk - A government health assessment (Environment Canada) classifies this ingredient as likely to be harmful to body organs with a medium human-health priority. Repeated or heavy exposure could affect organs like the liver or kidneys.

Cancer - Safety checks flag the ingredient for contamination by ethylene oxide and 1,4‑dioxane. These contaminants are known cancer-linked chemicals in regulatory and safety assessments, so contamination raises a cancer concern if present.

Confidence: HIGH

tea-dodecylbenzenesulfonate

✅3/10

For children aged 2–5 years (toddlers and young children), this ingredient is generally considered low risk for health effects, but it is one that regulators and industry restrict and control. That means it can be used safely in some products at low concentrations, but parents should be careful.

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

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

ppg-9

✅2/10

For preschoolers (ages 2–5), PPG-9 is generally low risk when it’s used in regular cosmetic products. Most checks show low concerns for serious effects. However, one health agency flagged possible non-reproductive organ effects and there is some chance it can irritate skin or eyes, so we stay a little cautious.

Confidence: MEDIUM

sodium benzoate

✅2/10

For children ages 2-5 (toddlers, preschoolers), sodium benzoate is usually safe in small amounts when it's in products made for kids. Big safety reviewers and government agencies generally see low risk at the low levels used in lotions and wipes, but there are rules that limit how much can be used.

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

dimethiconol

✅1/10

For 2–5 year olds (toddlers and preschool children), dimethiconol is generally safe when used on normal, unbroken skin in small amounts. Most safety checks rate it as low risk.

No Known Risk - Reviews by a cosmetic industry safety panel (CIR) and a European chemicals regulator (ECHA) find only low-level concerns for cancer, allergies, and reproductive effects for normal skin use. The industry reviewers note some data gaps about exact use concentrations, and the European regulator reports limited evidence of environmental toxicity. Because no health concern was rated above “low” for topical use, no specific child health risk labels apply.

Confidence: HIGH

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

guar hydroxypropyltrimonium chloride

✅1/10

This ingredient is a mild conditioner used in shampoos and washes and is generally considered low risk for toddlers and preschoolers (2-5 years). Most experts say it is safe when used in normal rinse-off products.

Confidence: HIGH

polyquaternium-10

✅1/10

Polyquaternium-10 is generally safe for toddlers and preschoolers (ages 2–5) when used as part of normal skin and hair products. It rarely irritates and is commonly used to make hair soft and skin feel smooth.

Confidence: HIGH

simmondsia chinensis seed oil

✅1/10

Simmondsia Chinensis Seed Oil is jojoba oil commonly used as a moisturizer in baby products and is considered very safe for topical use

No Known Risk - Jojoba oil is widely regarded as safe for topical use on babies and is not linked to irritation, hormone disruption, cancer, or other health risks based on current research. It is non-allergenic, non-comedogenic, and does not contain known harmful chemicals. No credible studies have shown significant adverse effects in infants or children when used as directed.

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 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

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.
