Ingredients Analysis (13 found)

Cocamidopropyl Betaine

✅3/10

For children 5 years and older, this ingredient is usually OK in shampoos and washes that are rinsed off. It helps make foam and clean without being very harsh for most kids. A small number of people can get skin irritation or allergic rashes, and regulators have raised concerns about possible contaminants from manufacturing.

Confidence: HIGH

Bisabolol

✅2/10

For children 5 years and older (kids, school-age children, tweens and teens), bisabolol is usually safe in creams, lotions and gentle skin products. It calms and soothes skin. Most children tolerate it well, but a small number can get a skin allergy.

Confidence: HIGH

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

PEG-200 Hydrogenated Glyceryl Palmate

✅2/10

For kids 5 and up (school-age children), this ingredient is usually low risk when applied to normal, unbroken skin. The biggest concern is possible contamination with unsafe chemicals, not cancer or allergy risks.

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

Sodium Myreth Sulfate

✅2/10

For children ages 5 and up (school-age kids, children, and teens), this ingredient in rinse-off products like shampoo and body wash is generally low risk. It can bother eyes or sensitive skin in some kids, and there is a manufacturing contamination concern with ethylene oxide and 1,4-dioxane.

Confidence: MEDIUM

Decyl Glucoside

✅1/10

For children 5 years and older: this is generally safe. It’s a gentle cleanser used in many kid shampoos and washes. Most children won’t have a problem, but a small number of people can get skin irritation or an allergic rash.

Confidence: HIGH

Panthenol

✅1/10

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

Pantolactone

✅1/10

For kids aged 5 and up, pantolactone in skin products is generally safe. The biggest thing to watch for is mild irritation like redness or stinging.

No Known Risk - Reviewed safety summaries and regulatory records show only low or limited concerns for topical use. The available data notes only minor, limited irritation and does not show higher-level risks (cancer, hormone disruption, organ harm, or developmental effects). Because no concern rises above low, there are no known real risks for child use in the available information.

Confidence: HIGH

Polyquaternium-10

✅1/10

For kids aged 5 and up (school-age children), polyquaternium-10 used at normal low levels in hair and skin products is usually safe. It helps hair feel smooth and rarely causes irritation in older children.

Confidence: MEDIUM

Sea Salt

✅1/10

For children 5 years and older (school-aged kids and older), sea salt on the skin in normal amounts is generally safe. Safety listings show low concern for long-term health risks. Sea salt may feel gritty and can dry or sting if the skin is broken or very sensitive.

No Known Risk - Sea salt has no clear health risks for topical use. U.S. regulators list it as safe for food use, and a Canadian health agency finds it unlikely to harm organs, calls it a low human-health priority, and says it does not build up in the body or the environment.

Confidence: HIGH

Sodium Chloride

✅1/10

For kids aged 5 and older (school-age children), sodium chloride is basically table salt and is usually safe in the small amounts used in skincare products like wipes, shampoos and lotions. It is low risk for long-term health problems.

No Known Risk - Regulatory reviews flag no meaningful health hazards for topical use. Food and health authorities list it as safe for limited use, and environmental assessments find it unlikely to harm organs, build up in the body, or damage wildlife. Overall expert sources rate concerns as low across cancer, allergies, development, and use restrictions.

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.

Confidence: HIGH
