⚠️5/10

Not evaluated

Confidence: LOW

ceteareth-20

✅3/10

For toddlers and preschoolers (2–5 years), this ingredient is usually low risk but should be used with care because safety notes list contamination risks and possible irritation.

Confidence: HIGH

2-hexanediol

✅3/10

2-hexanediol is used as a solvent and preservative. Limited data in babies but generally low toxicity. Minor concerns for sensitive skin.

Confidence: MEDIUM

petrolatum

✅2/10

For toddlers and preschoolers, a small amount of high‑quality white petroleum jelly is generally safe to protect dry or irritated skin.

Confidence: MEDIUM-HIGH

polyepsilon-lysine

✅2/10

Polyepsilon-lysine is a natural antimicrobial peptide used as a preservative. It is generally safe in topical products for children but should be used with caution due to limited data.

No Known Risk - Poly-epsilon-lysine is a naturally occurring biopolymer used as a preservative and antimicrobial agent. There is no evidence or research indicating it poses risks related to hormones, brain development, organ damage, irritation, or other listed concerns when used topically, especially in baby products.

Confidence: MEDIUM

beta-glucan

✅1/10

Beta-glucan is generally safe for toddlers and preschoolers (ages 2–5). It is used to help moisturize and calm skin and rarely causes problems.

No Known Risk - A formal cosmetic safety review (Cosmetic Ingredient Review) and product-safety notes show only low-level concerns and some limits on concentration or impurities. No health concerns above low (for cancer, allergies/immune, or reproductive effects) were identified for typical topical use, so there are no known real risks when used as intended.

Confidence: HIGH

ceramide NP

✅1/10

For toddlers and preschoolers (2-5 years), Ceramide NP is generally safe when used in normal amounts in creams or wipes. It helps repair and protect the skin and has a low risk of serious effects.

No Known Risk - Authoritative reviews and studies do not identify any health hazards above a low level for typical topical use. A cosmetic safety review notes only guidance/restrictions for use, a European chemicals authority reported limited evidence of mild irritation, and scientific papers note this ingredient can increase skin penetration and produced allergenic responses only at high doses in animal tests. Taken together, there are no higher-than-low concerns for children when this ingredient is used as intended.

Confidence: HIGH

cetearyl alcohol

✅1/10

Cetearyl alcohol is a mild fatty alcohol used to soften and thicken lotions and creams. For toddlers and young children (ages 2–5) it is usually safe on the skin and is not commonly linked to serious harms.

Confidence: HIGH

dimethicone

✅1/10

Dimethicone is commonly used in creams and lotions for children ages 2-5 (toddlers and preschoolers) and is usually gentle and safe on normal skin. It helps protect and lock in moisture and rarely causes reactions. There are, however, some concerns about small amounts of related chemicals or impurities that can come from manufacturing and about environmental persistence.

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

pentylene glycol

✅1/10

For 2–5 year olds (toddlers and preschoolers), pentylene glycol is usually safe when used on the skin. It helps keep products moist and has low overall health concerns, but some children may get mild skin irritation or an allergic reaction.

Confidence: HIGH

ceramide AP

✅0/10

For 2-5 year olds (toddlers and preschoolers), Ceramide AP is generally very safe. It’s a skin-friendly ingredient that helps moisturize and protect the skin and has very low concern for long-term health effects according to the referenced ingredient assessment.

No Known Risk - Available safety information shows low concern for cancer, allergies, and reproductive or developmental harm for typical skin use. A cosmetic safety review panel notes only that manufacturers should follow limits on concentration, impurities, and product types — a guidance step, not evidence of harm. Based on this, no clear health risks have been identified for normal 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.
