Ingredients Analysis (9 found)

citric acid

✅2/10

For children 5 years and older (school-age kids, tweens, teens), citric acid in everyday skincare like wipes, shampoos and lotions is usually safe when used at the low levels found in those products. It may sting if it gets in the eyes or is placed on sore or broken skin.

Confidence: HIGH

disodium edta

✅2/10

For children aged 5 and older (school-age kids), Disodium EDTA is generally low risk in the small amounts used in skin products. It is not tied to cancer or developmental harm in the available data. The most important issue is that it can irritate skin or eyes in some people.

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 benzoate

✅2/10

For school-age kids (5 years and up), sodium benzoate is usually safe in the small amounts used in lotions, wipes and creams. It helps stop bacteria and mold. Serious problems like cancer or widespread allergies are not expected, but some safety groups and countries set limits on how much can be used.

Confidence: HIGH

aloe barbadensis leaf juice

✅1/10

For children 5 years and older (school-age kids, older children, teens), aloe vera leaf juice used on the skin is generally safe and low risk. It is commonly used to soothe and hydrate skin in lotions and wipes.

disodium cocoamphodiacetate

✅1/10

For children 5 years and older (school-age children, kids, teens), this ingredient is generally low risk. It is a gentle cleansing ingredient commonly used in wash-off products like gentle shampoos, body washes, and wipes. The main concern is mild irritation to skin or eyes in some cases.

No Known Risk - Government and cosmetic safety reviewers evaluated this ingredient and did not find evidence of serious harms for normal topical use. A Canadian regulator said it is not expected to be toxic or to build up in the body. European and industry reviewers noted only limited, low evidence for mild skin or eye irritation. No clear links were found to cancer, reproductive harm, organ damage, or environmental toxicity. Because the reported concerns are low or limited, there are no known significant risks for typical use on skin.

Confidence: HIGH

disodium phosphate

✅1/10

For children aged 5 years and older, disodium phosphate is generally safe to find in creams or lotions. Most safety reviews say it is not likely to cause serious harm. The biggest issue is that a small number of people may get irritation.

No Known Risk - Government and scientific reviews find no health hazards for normal use. It is allowed for limited use in food, has been classified as not likely to harm organs or build up in the body, and is not expected to be an environmental toxin. A cosmetic safety review notes skin/eye/lung irritation has not been clearly shown. Taken together, reviewers did not find any health concerns above a low level for topical use.

Confidence: MEDIUM

tocopheryl acetate

✅1/10

Safe for most school-age kids when used in small amounts on healthy skin. A few children may get redness or a mild rash.

Confidence: MEDIUM

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.
