⚠️5/10
Not evaluated
Confidence: LOW
Fragrance
⚠️5/10
Perfume is a common ingredient in baby products for scent but can cause irritation or allergies in sensitive children aged 5 and above. Use 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
Ethylhexylglycerin
✅2/10
For children aged 5 years and older (school-aged kids, children, preteens), this ingredient is generally low risk when used on the skin at normal levels. The main issues are possible skin or eye irritation and, rarely, an allergic reaction in people who are sensitive.
Confidence: HIGH
Phenoxyethanol
✅2/10
For school-age children (ages 5 and up), phenoxyethanol is commonly used as a preservative and is usually low risk when products contain it at low concentrations (around 1% or less). The biggest concern is irritation — some kids may get redness, stinging, or eye irritation.
Confidence: HIGH
Sodium Hydroxide
✅2/10
For school-age children (5 years and older): when sodium hydroxide is in regular skin products it is usually at very low levels and is safe if the product is made for skin and has a skin-friendly pH. Sodium hydroxide itself is a strong chemical that can burn if concentrated.
Confidence: HIGH
Acrylates/C10-30 Alkyl Acrylate Crosspolymer
✅1/10
For children aged 5 and up (school-age kids), this thickening ingredient is usually low risk when used in normal lotions or cleansers. It mainly stays on the skin and is not easily absorbed.
Confidence: MEDIUM
Caprylyl Glycol
✅1/10
For school-age children (5 years and older), caprylyl glycol is generally safe when used on the skin in normal products like lotions and wipes. It has a low reported risk for cancer, developmental harm, and most allergies, and regulators consider it unlikely to build up in the body or the environment.
No Known Risk - Government and industry safety reviews found no clear health hazards for skin use. Tests say it is not likely to build up in the body, not persistent in the environment, and not harmful to organs. Industry reviewers do note limits on how much can be used and some data gaps, but overall the ingredient is rated low concern for topical use.
Confidence: HIGH
Carbomer
✅1/10
For school-age children (5 years and older) carbomer is usually safe when used on normal, unbroken skin. Most safety checks show low risk for cancer, allergies or effects on growth, but there are notes about possible impurities from manufacturing.
Confidence: MEDIUM
Cetearyl Olivate
✅1/10
For children 5 years and older (kids, school-age children, tweens, teens), cetearyl olivate is generally safe to use on the skin. It’s made from olive oil and helps keep creams and lotions smooth. Most children do not have problems with it.
No Known Risk - Safety reviews by cosmetic experts find this ingredient safe for skin use. No moderate or high health concerns were identified for children. There are only small notes about possible mild irritation for some people and standard limits on how it is used, but these are low-level and not seen as a real health risk.
Confidence: HIGH
Dimethicone
✅1/10
Dimethicone is commonly used on the skin and is usually safe for children ages 5 and up. Health reviews find low direct risk from dimethicone itself, but there are concerns about possible impurities and environmental persistence from regulatory reviews.
Confidence: MEDIUM
Glycerin
✅1/10
For children 5 years and older (kids, school-age children, teens), glycerin is usually safe when used in regular lotions, cleansers or wipes. It helps skin hold on to moisture and is not linked to major health risks.
Confidence: HIGH
Isopropyl Palmitate
✅1/10
For children 5 years and older, this ingredient is usually safe and is used to soften skin and help creams spread. Most authorities consider it low risk.
No Known Risk - Reviews and government assessments did not find health hazards above a low level for normal topical use. Safety panels note use limits and some data gaps, but regulators have called it low priority for human health, do not expect it to build up in the body or the environment, and allow limited food uses. Taken together, current evidence does not show any health risks above low for typical use.
Confidence: HIGH
Sorbitan Olivate
✅1/10
For children aged 5 and up (school-age kids and teens), Sorbitan Olivate is generally safe to use on the skin. It is a common, mild ingredient made from olive fatty acids that helps lotions and creams spread and feel smooth.
No Known Risk - Reviewed safety information shows only low-level concerns for cancer, allergies/immune effects, and reproductive or developmental effects. An industry safety panel (Cosmetic Ingredient Review) notes data gaps and recommends limits on concentration or product types, but did not identify higher-level hazards for normal topical use. Based on that, there are no known health risks above low at typical use.
Confidence: HIGH
Tropolone
✅1/10
For children aged 5 and older (school-age kids and teens), tropolone is generally safe for use on the skin. The overall risk is low, though a few people can get mild skin irritation or an allergic reaction.
No Known Risk - Reviewed toxicology and regulatory notes show only low-level concerns across cancer, immune/allergy, and reproductive areas. There is only limited evidence of skin irritation or allergic reaction from testing, and no higher-than-low risks were identified for topical use.
Confidence: MEDIUM
2-Hexanediol
✅0/10
For children 5 years and older (school-age kids): this ingredient is generally safe when used on the skin at the low amounts usually found in lotions and wipes. There is a small chance it can cause irritation, but major long-term risks are rated low.
No Known Risk - Independent safety reviews (Cosmetic Ingredient Review) and the European Chemicals Agency do not find serious health hazards for normal skin use. They note only limited evidence of skin, eye, or lung irritation at higher doses and point out some data gaps, so overall the ingredient is rated low risk for typical topical use.
Confidence: MEDIUM
Cotton
✅0/10
Cotton is a natural fiber and not a chemical ingredient. It is very safe and often used in baby wipes or as a base material. No toxicity concerns for topical use on 5 plus years babies.
No Known Risk - Cotton, when used topically and in its pure form, is widely considered safe for babies and does not have any established links to the listed health risks based on current research.
Confidence: HIGH
Water
✅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.
