Ingredients Analysis (19 found)

Cananga Odorata Flower Oil

⚠️5/10

Ylang ylang is a fragrant essential oil that can cause skin irritation or sensitization in children. Use with caution in topical baby products for 5 plus years.

Irritant - Ylang Ylang Oil contains compounds that can cause skin irritation, redness, or rashes, especially on sensitive baby skin.

Asthma - Essential oils like Ylang Ylang can trigger respiratory symptoms or worsen asthma in sensitive children when inhaled or applied topically.

Confidence: HIGH

Water Aqua Eau

⚠️5/10

Water Aqua Eau is simply water used as a solvent and base in baby shampoos and bodywashes. It is very safe for topical use on babies 5 years and older.

Confidence: HIGH

Juniperus Virginiana Oil

⚠️4/10

For children aged 5 years and older: this cedarwood-type essential oil can cause skin allergies or irritation. Most other serious concerns are low, but the main issue is allergic skin reactions.

Immune system - This oil is listed as a known human allergen by the EU Cosmetics Directive. That means it can trigger immune reactions such as allergic contact responses in some people, which is a real risk for sensitive children.

Irritant - Because it is recognized as a human allergen (EU Cosmetics Directive), it can cause skin irritation like redness, itching, or rashes—especially on baby or sensitive skin.

Eczema - Being a known allergen makes this oil able to start or make eczema and similar skin conditions worse in sensitive children, according to the EU Cosmetics Directive listing.

Organ Risk - Environment Canada classifies this substance as expected to be toxic or harmful to non-reproductive organ systems. That means repeated or heavy exposure could harm organs (for example liver, kidneys, or lungs).

Environmental - Environment Canada suspects this oil is an environmental toxin. That indicates it may cause harm to wildlife or ecosystems if released into the environment.

Confidence: MEDIUM

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

Coco Glucoside

✅2/10

For kids 5 years and older, Coco-Glucoside is usually safe. It’s a gentle cleanser made from coconut and sugar. Most children won’t have trouble with it, but a small number of people can get a skin reaction.

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 Dehydroacetate

✅2/10

For children 5 years and older this preservative is generally low risk when it’s used at the low levels normally found in cosmetics. However, some government reviews and scientific studies have found signs of possible hormone-related effects at higher doses in animals, so it’s best kept to standard, low concentrations.

Confidence: MEDIUM

Vanillin

✅2/10

For children aged 5 and up (school-age kids, older children and teens), vanillin used on the skin is usually low risk. The main issue is that it can cause skin allergy or irritation in some people.

Confidence: HIGH

Anisaldehyde

✅1/10

For children aged 5 and older (school-age kids, older children, preteens), anisaldehyde used on the skin is considered low risk. Safety notes say it is not expected to be toxic, and concerns for cancer or developmental harm are low. Most kids should be fine with products that contain it at normal levels.

No Known Risk - Health and safety assessments from multiple agencies found no issues above low concern: a Canadian review says it is not expected to be harmful to body organs and is not persistent or likely to build up in the body; a European agency did not flag wildlife or environmental toxicity; and the U.S. food agency allows limited food use. Because no higher concerns were identified, there are no known health risks based on these reviews.

Confidence: MEDIUM

Benzyl Acetate

✅1/10

For children 5 years and older (school-age kids, preteens, teens), benzyl acetate is generally low risk when used in normal amounts in skin products. It is a common fragrance most older children tolerate.

No Known Risk - Major health agencies that reviewed benzyl acetate report no strong health dangers for normal use on the skin. One agency found it is not likely to cause cancer in people. Another agency says it is not expected to be harmful to organs, does not build up in the body, and does not persist in the environment. The U.S. food safety agency allows limited use in food. Taken together, these reviews show no clear, higher-level risks for children from typical topical use.

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

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

Glycolipids

✅1/10

For school-age children (5 years and older), glycolipids are generally safe for skin use. They are mild and often used to clean or soften skin with low reported safety concerns.

No Known Risk - Available safety information for topical use shows only low-level concerns (cancer, allergies/immunity, and reproductive/developmental) and no ingredient-specific hazards or restrictions above low. In short, no real risks were identified in the current assessment.

Confidence: HIGH

Guar Hydroxypropyltrimonium Chloride

✅1/10

For school-age children (5 years and older), this ingredient is generally safe in shampoos, conditioners and wash-off body products. It is a conditioning agent that helps hair feel smoother and is used at low levels in products.

Magnesium Chloride

✅1/10

For children aged 5 and older (school-age kids), magnesium chloride is generally safe when used on the skin in normal amounts. Safety reports give it a low concern for cancer, allergies, and effects on growth or reproduction.

No Known Risk - Government reviews find no meaningful hazards for magnesium chloride. The U.S. FDA lists it as safe for certain food uses, and Environment Canada says it is not expected to be toxic, is a low human-health priority, is not likely to build up in the body, and is not an environmental toxin. Common concern areas (cancer, allergies, reproductive/development) are rated low. Based on these findings, no specific health risks are identified for topical use.

Confidence: HIGH

Sodium Gluconate

✅1/10

Sodium gluconate is usually safe for children 5 years and older when used on the skin. It’s a mild ingredient used to keep formulas working well and most kids don’t have problems with it.

Confidence: HIGH

Sodium Lauroyl Lactylate

✅1/10

For children aged 5 and older (school-age kids, preteens, teens), this is a mild ingredient used to help clean and stabilize lotions and wipes. Overall it’s low risk when used in normal baby/child skin products.

No Known Risk - Cosmetic safety reviews note only low-level concerns for this topical ingredient. Experts recommend limits on concentration and monitoring impurities, and some product-verification programs require extra proof before they allow it, but no moderate or high health hazards were identified for typical topical use on children.

Confidence: HIGH

Squalane

✅1/10

Squalane is a gentle skin moisturizer that is usually safe for children aged 5 and up. Most reviews show very low risk of cancer, allergy, or long-term harm. There is a small, cautious note from a scientific program about a weak possible effect on hormones, so we stay careful.

Confidence: MEDIUM

Triethyl Citrate

✅1/10

For children 5 years and older (school-age kids and teens), triethyl citrate is generally low risk when used on the skin.
