Ingredients Analysis (10 found)

Mentha Piperita (Peppermint Oil)
🚨7/10
Peppermint oil can cause skin irritation and respiratory issues in young children often used for fragrance or cooling effect
Confidence: HIGH
Menthol
⚠️5/10
For toddlers and young children (ages 2–5), menthol can be used sometimes but with caution. It helps create a cooling feeling but can cause skin allergies and breathing or eye irritation in some kids.
Immune system - Menthol is identified as a known human allergen and flagged with strong evidence of human toxicant/allergen by regulatory bodies (EU Cosmetics Directive and the U.S. EPA). That means it can trigger allergic or immune reactions when put on the skin.
Irritant - Regulatory assessments list menthol as a human allergen/toxicant, which is linked to skin reactions like redness, stinging, or contact dermatitis—especially when applied topically to sensitive skin.
Eczema - Because menthol is a recognized human allergen (per the EU cosmetics review and U.S. EPA findings), it can trigger or worsen eczema and similar inflammatory skin conditions in susceptible people.
Confidence: MEDIUM
Glycyrrhiza Uralensis (Licorice) Root Extract"
✅3/10
For toddlers and preschoolers (ages 2–5), licorice root extract in skin products is usually low risk at the small amounts normally used. Some studies show it can affect hormones, and there are reports of liver, heart, or allergic reactions with larger or repeated exposures, so we take a careful approach for young children.
Confidence: HIGH
Chamomilla Recutita (Matricaria) Flower Extract
✅2/10
For 2–5 year olds (toddlers, preschoolers): this chamomile flower extract is usually low risk on the skin when used in small amounts, but some children can get a skin allergy, especially if they are allergic to daisies or ragweed.
No Known Risk - Reviewed safety panels and chemical agencies found only limited or unclear evidence of harm from chamomile flower extract when used on the skin. Expert reviews say it is generally safe for cosmetic use with normal concentrations, and studies that suggested possible effects were small or mixed. Because no clear, higher-than-low concerns were identified, there are no specific risks to report.
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
Cellulose Gum
✅1/10
Cellulose gum is generally safe for toddlers and preschoolers (2-5 years) when used on normal skin. It’s a common, low-risk ingredient used to thicken creams and lotions.
No Known Risk - Reviewed safety information shows no health concerns above low for this ingredient. Official food-safety reviewers permit limited use in food, a cosmetic safety review panel notes some data gaps but did not find high risks, and a Canadian health authority classifies it as not expected to be toxic or an environmental hazard. Some product-verification programs may still ask for extra proof before allowing it, but current evidence points to no known health risks for topical use.
Confidence: HIGH
Polyglyceryl-10 Laurate
✅1/10
For toddlers and preschoolers (2-5 years), this ingredient is usually safe. It’s a gentle ingredient used to help mix oil and water in creams and lotions. Most safety signals are low, but there is a small chance it could irritate skin or eyes.
No Known Risk - Available safety reviews do not show any health concerns above a low level. Experts flagged only a possible, low-level chance of skin, eye, or lung irritation but noted the evidence is not strong. Other checks (cancer, allergy/immune, and developmental or reproductive effects) were rated low. For typical topical use on children, no higher-level risks were identified.
Confidence: HIGH
Xylitol
✅1/10
Very safe for toddlers and preschoolers when used on the skin. It helps skin stay hydrated and is unlikely to cause irritation.
No Known Risk - Checks show only low concern for skin use. No strong links to cancer, allergies, or growth problems were found.
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
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
