Ingredients Analysis (17 found)

coco-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
ascorbyl palmitate
2/10
For children 5 years and older (school-age kids), ascorbyl palmitate is usually low risk when used on the skin in regular amounts. It acts like a stable vitamin C and helps protect products from breaking down. However, source information shows it can cause harmful chemical changes in skin cells in lab tests when combined with sunlight, so we should be careful.
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
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
potassium sorbate
2/10

Confidence: MEDIUM
disodium cocoyl glutamate
1/10
For school-age children and teens (5 years and older) this is a mild cleanser ingredient with a low safety concern. Most kids tolerate it well when it is used in normal skin and hair products.
No Known Risk - A professional cosmetics review found this ingredient safe for use in personal care products when used in normal amounts. A European chemical agency noted only limited evidence of eye irritation, and overall expert reviews rate health concerns as low. Because experts consider the risks minor at typical use levels, there are no meaningful risks for children when the ingredient is used as intended.
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
glyceryl oleate
1/10
For school-age children (5 years and older) glyceryl oleate is usually safe when used in normal lotions and creams. It’s commonly used to help mix oil and water in products and to make skin feel soft. Most big safety checks find low long-term health concerns.
Confidence: HIGH
hydrogenated palm glycerides citrate
1/10
For children aged 5 and up (kids, school-age children, teens), this ingredient is generally safe when applied to the skin in normal products. It helps soften skin and keeps products stable. The safety information provided lists only low concerns for serious long-term effects.
No Known Risk - Available safety reviews for this topical ingredient report only low-level concerns across cancer, allergy/immune, reproductive/developmental, and use-restriction categories, and no other hazard flags are listed. In other words, current ingredient assessments do not identify meaningful health risks for typical topical use.
Confidence: HIGH
lecithin
1/10
For children aged 5 and older, lecithin in creams and lotions is usually okay. It helps mix oil and water in products and conditions skin. Most kids won’t have a problem, but there are some risks to watch for.
Confidence: MEDIUM
propanediol
1/10
For school-age children (5 years and older) propanediol is generally low risk. It’s used to hydrate skin and help ingredients mix. A few safety reviews say it can sometimes irritate skin and can help other ingredients get through the skin more easily.
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
sodium cocoyl glutamate
1/10
For kids 5 and older (school-age children), this is usually gentle and safe when used in rinsing products like shampoos and washes. It’s a mild cleansing ingredient and most children won’t have problems with it.
No Known Risk - Independent cosmetic safety reviewers and a European chemical regulator evaluated this ingredient. They found it safe for use in cosmetics with some limits, said it is not likely to cause cancer, and noted only small, limited signs of eye or skin irritation. No higher-level health concerns were identified.
Confidence: HIGH
sodium PCA
1/10
For kids 5 years and older (children, school-age kids, and teens), sodium PCA is usually safe and helps skin stay hydrated. It rarely causes irritation by itself. The main concern is that it can sometimes pick up harmful impurities during making; that's a manufacturing issue, not the ingredient itself.
Confidence: HIGH
tocopherol
0/10
For children 5 years and older, tocopherol (vitamin E) used on the skin is generally safe. Most kids tolerate it well. A few people can get skin irritation or an allergy, but that is uncommon.
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.
