Ingredients Analysis (18 found)

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

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

Carbomer

✅1/10

For school-age children (5 years and older) carbomer is usually safe when used on normal, unbroken skin. Most safety checks show low risk for cancer, allergies or effects on growth, but there are notes about possible impurities from manufacturing.

Confidence: MEDIUM

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

Dimethicone

✅1/10

Dimethicone is commonly used on the skin and is usually safe for children ages 5 and up. Health reviews find low direct risk from dimethicone itself, but there are concerns about possible impurities and environmental persistence from regulatory reviews.

Confidence: MEDIUM

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

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

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

Pentylene Glycol

✅1/10

For school-age children (5+, kids), pentylene glycol is commonly used in lotions and wipes and is usually safe when used on normal, unbroken skin. Most children will not have problems.

Confidence: HIGH

Polybutene

✅1/10

For children 5 years and older (kids, school-age children, tweens, teens), polybutene — a common thickener or binder in creams, lotions and lip products — is usually low risk when used on normal, unbroken skin in regular cosmetic amounts.

Confidence: MEDIUM

Shea Butter

✅1/10

Butyrospermum Parkii Shea Butter is a natural moisturizer commonly used in baby products. It is very safe for topical use on children 5 years and older.

No Known Risk - Shea butter is widely used in baby skincare products and is generally considered safe for topical use. There is no strong evidence linking it to irritation, allergies, hormone disruption, or other health risks in babies. Rare allergic reactions may occur, but these are uncommon and not specific to infants. Current research and regulatory guidance do not identify any significant risks for babies when shea butter is used topically.

Confidence: HIGH

Sodium Citrate

✅1/10

For kids aged 5 years and older, sodium citrate is usually safe. It’s a gentle salt used to keep products at the right acidity and to help them stay stable. Serious harms are not expected and most safety reviews call it low concern.

No Known Risk - Reviewed safety information shows only low-level concerns. U.S. food regulators say it is allowed for some food uses, a cosmetic safety panel notes allowed limits and some data gaps but does not show hazards at normal use, and a national environment agency finds it unlikely to harm organs, build up in the body, or persist in the environment. Because no health concern was reported above low, there are no specific risks identified for typical topical use.

Confidence: HIGH

Sorbitan Stearate

✅1/10

For children 5 years and older (school-age kids, older children, preteens), Sorbitan Stearate is generally safe when used in normal amounts in skin creams or washes. It is used to help water and oil mix and has low concern for causing cancer, allergies, or developmental problems.

No Known Risk - Multiple regulatory and expert safety reviews report low concern for cancer, allergies, developmental or reproductive harm, and organ toxicity for typical topical use. The ingredient is not expected to persist or build up in the body and is allowed for limited use in foods and cosmetics. Some reviews note gaps in exact use-level data, but overall assessments judge it safe at normal use levels, so no specific health risks were identified.

Confidence: HIGH

Tapioca Starch

✅0/10

For children 5 years and older (kids, children, teens), tapioca starch used on the skin is generally safe. It’s a natural powder used to absorb oil or make a product feel smooth.

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.
