It helps products mix and look pleasant and is not linked to serious long-term harms in the available reviews. Regulators do note limited data in some areas and set recommended limits for how much can be used.

For children 5 and older (kids, school-age children): panthenol is generally safe when used on the skin in lotions, creams, shampoos and wipes. It helps hydrate and calm the skin and is considered low risk when used as directed.

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

Persea Gratissima (Avocado) Fruit Extract

✅1/10

For kids 5 years and older (school-age children, young children), avocado fruit extract is generally safe to use on the skin. Reports show low concerns for cancer, allergic reactions, and effects on growth or development.

No Known Risk - Safety reviews from established cosmetic-ingredient sources show only low-level concerns (for cancer, allergies/immune effects, developmental or reproductive effects, and use restrictions) for topical use of avocado fruit extract. No hazards above low were identified, so no specific health risks are flagged for typical topical use.

Confidence: HIGH

Aqua

✅0/10

For kids aged 5 and up (school-age children, children, older kids), water used on the skin is very safe. It’s the basic ingredient in cleansers, lotions and wipes and carries very low health concern when clean and used in normal products.

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.
