Ingredients Analysis (15 found)

Aqua

⚠️5/10

Aqua is water used as a solvent in topical products. It is very safe for babies 5 years and older in shampoos and bodywash.

Confidence: HIGH

Acrylates Copolymer

✅2/10

For children aged 5 and up (school-age kids, tweens, teens), Acrylates Copolymer is usually low risk when used on the skin. It helps products stay in place. The biggest concerns are manufacturing impurities and possible irritation rather than long-term disease risks.

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

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

Sodium Lauroyl Glucosides Hydroxypropylsulfonate

✅2/10

Sodium Lauroyl Glucosides Hydroxypropylsulfonate is a mild surfactant used in baby shampoos and bodywashes. It is generally safe with minor irritation risk for 5 plus years babies.

No Known Risk - Sodium Lauroyl Glucosides Hydroxypropylsulfonate is considered a mild, non-irritating surfactant derived from natural sources. There is no evidence in current research linking it to irritation, allergies, hormone disruption, cancer, or other health risks in babies when used topically.

Confidence: HIGH

Cocamidopropyl Hydroxysultaine

✅1/10

For school-age children (5 years and older), this is usually safe when used in rinse-off products like shampoos and body washes. It is a mild cleanser and makes products foam.

Confidence: MEDIUM

Dipotassium Glycyrrhizate

✅1/10

For children aged 5 years and older (kids, school-age children, young children), this licorice-derived ingredient is generally safe when used on the skin at the low levels typically found in lotions and wipes. It is used to soothe skin and is unlikely to enter the body in meaningful amounts.

No Known Risk - Available safety reviews report only low-level concerns and find the ingredient safe for skin use when kept at low concentrations and with limits on impurities. The industry safety panel also assumes low skin absorption. The provided data does not show any higher-level risks (like harm to organs, hormones, brain development, cancer, or asthma) for normal topical use.

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

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.

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

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 Lauroyl Methyl Isethionate

✅1/10

For children 5 years and older this is a mild cleanser found in many kid shampoos and body washes. Overall it has a low safety concern when used as intended.

No Known Risk - A formal cosmetic safety review found this ingredient safe for use in personal care products when used within set concentration or use limits. The only flagged issues are low-level concerns about possible skin/eye/lung irritation and the need for use limits; no higher concerns (like cancer, hormone disruption, or developmental harm) were identified above a low level. Some product standards still limit its use unless makers supply safety data.

Confidence: HIGH

Pyrus Malus Apple Fruit Extract

✅1/10

For kids 5 years and older, apple fruit extract in skin products is usually safe and considered low risk when used in normal creams, lotions, or cleansers.

No Known Risk - Independent cosmetic safety reviewers have judged apple fruit extract safe for use on skin when it is formulated correctly and kept at normal concentrations. Some limited tests note mild eye or skin irritation at high doses, but these findings are rare and do not show clear harm to growth, hormones, or cancer risk. For normal topical use, there are no confirmed, meaningful risks for children.

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.
