Glycyrrhiza Inflata Root Extract

⚠️4/10

For school-age children (5+, children, kids, older kids): this licorice-root extract can be used on the skin in small amounts, but there are studies showing it can affect hormones and (at higher exposures) may affect development, the liver, or the heart. Because of that, it gets a moderate caution score for this age group.

Hormones - Toxicology reviews and human reports show this licorice root extract can change adrenal hormones and other sex hormones. That means it can upset normal hormone signals in children if they are exposed.

Confuse Hormones - Human and animal studies found the extract can act like or block natural hormones (adrenal and sex hormones). This can confuse a child’s normal hormone signals and growth.

Fertility - Reviews and some human/animal studies report effects on the reproductive system and male reproductive organs at moderate doses, so there is a real risk to future fertility with repeated exposure.

Organ Risk - Toxicology reviews link this ingredient to liver effects and possible heart-related problems in people and animals, so repeated use could harm organs like the liver or heart.

Metabolism - Studies show the extract can change hormone levels (including adrenal hormones and growth hormone), which can alter how the body handles sugar, salt, and growth — affecting a child’s metabolism.

Immune system - Animal studies report immune and allergenic responses at low to moderate doses, so it may alter immune reactions or raise allergy risk in sensitive children.

Eczema - Because animal data show allergenic effects, this extract may trigger or worsen eczema or similar skin rashes on sensitive baby skin.

Irritant - Allergy and skin reaction reports mean the ingredient can cause redness, itching, or rashes for some people, especially on delicate child skin.

Confidence: MEDIUM

Piroctone Olamine

✅3/10

For children 5 years and older (school-age kids), this antifungal ingredient is generally low risk when used as directed, especially in rinse-off products like shampoos. It is not thought to cause cancer, long-term buildup in the body, or major reproductive harm.

Confidence: MEDIUM

Benzyl Alcohol

✅2/10

Safety information not properly formatted for easy understanding

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

Ethylhexylglycerin

✅2/10

For children aged 5 years and older (school-aged kids, children, preteens), this ingredient is generally low risk when used on the skin at normal levels. The main issues are possible skin or eye irritation and, rarely, an allergic reaction in people who are sensitive.

Confidence: HIGH

PEG-40 Stearate

✅2/10

For kids aged 5 and up, PEG-40 Stearate is commonly used in skin products and is usually low risk when used on normal, unbroken skin. The biggest worry is possible contamination during manufacturing with impurities such as ethylene oxide and 1,4-dioxane.

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

Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride

✅1/10

For children aged 5 years and up (school-age children, kids, young children): this is a gentle moisturizing oil used in many lotions and wipes. Most children tolerate it well and it is considered low-risk for skin reactions.

Confidence: HIGH

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

Castor Seed Oil

✅1/10

Ricinus Communis Seed Oil is castor oil commonly used as an emollient in baby care products and is considered safe for topical use in children over 5 years

Confidence: HIGH

Ceramide NP

✅1/10

For school‑age children (5 years and older), Ceramide NP is generally safe. It works like the skin's natural fats to help moisturize and protect. Most evidence shows very low long‑term risks. A small number of people may get mild skin irritation.

No Known Risk - Authoritative reviews and studies do not identify any health hazards above a low level for typical topical use. A cosmetic safety review notes only guidance/restrictions for use, a European chemicals authority reported limited evidence of mild irritation, and scientific papers note this ingredient can increase skin penetration and produced allergenic responses only at high doses in animal tests. Taken together, there are no higher-than-low concerns for children when this ingredient is used as intended.

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

Cetyl Palmitate

✅1/10

For children aged 5 and older, cetyl palmitate is generally considered safe in creams and wipes. It acts as a moisturizer and thickener and has low reported risk for cancer, allergy, or reproductive effects. The main small risk is minor skin irritation in sensitive kids.

No Known Risk - Reviews by an industry safety panel and a government assessment found only low-level concerns (mainly possible mild skin, eye, or lung irritation) and noted some data gaps. The government review did not find signs of organ harm, persistence, or buildup in the body. Because all health concerns were rated low and no stronger hazards were reported for normal topical use, there are no known meaningful risks for typical use. Note: some product verification programs ask for extra safety documentation before allowing this ingredient.

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

✅1/10

For school-age children (5 years and older) Glyceryl Stearate is generally safe. It’s used to make creams and lotions smooth and soft, and most health reviews find low risk for long-term harm.

Confidence: HIGH

Mineral Oil

✅1/10

For children and school-age kids (5 years and up), mineral oil used on the skin is usually safe and is often used in lotions and moisturizers. Most kids tolerate it well.

Confidence: MEDIUM

Octyldodecanol

✅1/10

For children aged 5 years and older (school-age kids), octyldodecanol is usually safe when used on the skin. It helps moisturize and makes creams and lotions feel nice. Serious long-term harms are not expected based on available information.

Confidence: HIGH

2-Hexanediol

✅0/10

For children 5 years and older (school-age kids): this ingredient is generally safe when used on the skin at the low amounts usually found in lotions and wipes. There is a small chance it can cause irritation, but major long-term risks are rated low.

No Known Risk - Independent safety reviews (Cosmetic Ingredient Review) and the European Chemicals Agency do not find serious health hazards for normal skin use. They note only limited evidence of skin, eye, or lung irritation at higher doses and point out some data gaps, so overall the ingredient is rated low risk for typical topical use.

Confidence: MEDIUM

Colloidal Oatmeal

✅0/10

For school-age children (5 years and older), colloidal oatmeal is generally safe to use on the skin. It’s often used to calm dry, itchy, or irritated skin and has very low safety concerns in the provided safety data.

No Known Risk - The ingredient's safety review shows only low-level concerns for cancer, allergies or immune effects, developmental/reproductive harm, and use limits. No hazards above low were identified for topical use in the available review, so no significant health risks were found.

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.
