Ingredients Analysis (17 found)

Chlorphenesin

✅3/10

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

Petrolatum

✅2/10

Safe for most school‑age kids when you pick a high‑purity, fully refined petroleum jelly and use it on healthy skin.

Confidence: MEDIUM

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

Tridecane

✅2/10

For school-age children (5 years and up), tridecane is generally low risk when used in small amounts on the skin. It rarely causes cancer or allergies. Some regulators have noted a possible reproductive or developmental concern, and there is also a note about environmental harm.

Confidence: HIGH

Acacia Senegal Gum

✅1/10

For school‑age children (5 years and older) this ingredient is generally low risk. It’s a natural gum used to thicken or stabilize lotions and creams. The main issue is that some people can get a skin or breathing allergy to it.

Confidence: MEDIUM

Caprylyl Glycol

✅1/10

For school-age children (5 years and older), caprylyl glycol is generally safe when used on the skin in normal products like lotions and wipes. It has a low reported risk for cancer, developmental harm, and most allergies, and regulators consider it unlikely to build up in the body or the environment.

No Known Risk - Government and industry safety reviews found no clear health hazards for skin use. Tests say it is not likely to build up in the body, not persistent in the environment, and not harmful to organs. Industry reviewers do note limits on how much can be used and some data gaps, but overall the ingredient is rated low concern for topical use.

Confidence: HIGH

Cetyl Alcohol

✅1/10

For children aged 5 and up (school-age kids and teens), cetyl alcohol is usually safe in regular lotions, creams and cleansers. It’s a common softening and thickening ingredient and most reviews call it low risk.

Confidence: HIGH

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

Glyceryl Stearate Citrate

✅1/10

For children aged 5 and up (school-age kids), glyceryl stearate citrate is generally low risk when used in normal skin creams, lotions or wipes. It helps blend oils and water and gives products a smooth feel. Major safety reviews list only low concerns overall, though some studies noted possible skin irritation at higher levels.

No Known Risk - A cosmetic safety review concluded this ingredient is safe for use in cosmetics when kept below set concentration limits and assuming low skin absorption. Reviewers did note some missing safety data and that assessments relied on related chemicals, and animal tests showed irritation only at moderate doses. Taken together, reviewers did not identify any health hazards above a low level for normal topical use.

Confidence: HIGH

Glyceryl Stearate SE

✅1/10

For children 5 years and older, this ingredient is generally low risk when used in normal skincare products. It’s an ingredient that helps oil and water mix, and reviews say it’s unlikely to cause cancer or long‑term harm. Still, it can help other ingredients get into the skin, so a little care is wise.

Confidence: HIGH

Stearyl Alcohol

✅1/10

For children aged 5 and up (school-age children, kids, older children) stearyl alcohol is usually safe in creams and lotions. The biggest issue is irritation — it can cause redness, stinging, or eye irritation in some people. Serious long-term harms are not expected.

Confidence: HIGH

Undecane

✅1/10

For school-age children (5+ years), undecane is low risk when used on the skin in normal cosmetics. Regulatory reviews (EPA and Environment Canada) flag low concerns for cancer or allergic effects and do not expect it to build up in the body. There is a note about possible environmental harm.

Confidence: HIGH

Xanthan Gum

✅1/10

For children aged 5 and up, xanthan gum is generally safe when used in normal skin products. It is mainly a thickener and usually does not get into the body or cause problems. Most children will not have any reaction.

No Known Risk - Safety reviews and regulatory assessments find no health hazards above a low level for topical use. It is approved for limited use in food, classified as not expected to be toxic and a low human-health priority, and not suspected to be an environmental toxin. Cosmetic industry reviewers note only guidance on concentrations or purity. Because no concern was rated above low, no specific risks were identified for babies or children.

Confidence: HIGH

Lauryl Laurate

✅1/10

For children 5 years and older, Lauryl Laurate is generally low risk. It works as a skin softener and most safety reviews say it is safe in cosmetic products when used as directed.

No Known Risk - A formal cosmetic safety review found this ingredient safe for use in personal care products when used at normal levels. Health checks showed only low-level concerns for cancer, reproductive harm, and allergies, and use limits are set by the reviewers. Data on skin or eye irritation is limited but not shown to be a clear problem. Because no health concern above low was identified, there are no known risks for typical topical use.

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.
