Ingredients Analysis (13 found)

2-BROMO-2-NITROPROPANE-1-3-DIOL

🚨6/10

2-Bromo-2-nitropropane-1,3-diol is a preservative with potential to release formaldehyde which can irritate skin and cause allergies in sensitive individuals especially children

Irritant - Bronopol is known to cause skin irritation, especially in sensitive individuals, and can lead to redness or rashes when used topically.

Cancer - Bronopol can release formaldehyde and nitrosamines, both of which are classified as potential human carcinogens, especially with long-term or repeated exposure.

Absorbed - Bronopol can be absorbed through the skin, raising concerns about systemic exposure, especially in infants with thinner skin.

Banned - Bronopol is restricted or banned in leave-on cosmetic products in some countries due to its safety concerns, particularly regarding formaldehyde release.

Long-Term Risk - Long-term exposure to bronopol and its breakdown products (like formaldehyde) is linked to increased health risks, including sensitization and carcinogenicity.

Confidence: HIGH

CETYLPYRIDINIUM CHLORIDE

⚠️4/10

For children 5 years and older, this ingredient is generally low concern when used in products made for skin at normal, low concentrations. It can cause skin irritation or allergic reactions in some kids and there are lab and animal studies that raise specific, limited worries.

Banned - A government health agency in Japan limits how much of this chemical can be used in some cosmetics, and U.S. regulators have set rules about its use in food. These official actions mean some countries restrict or tightly control this ingredient.

Immune system - Public reviews and limited human reports note signs of immune or allergic effects after exposure to this class of chemicals. That means it can sometimes trigger immune reactions in people.

Asthma - There is limited evidence from reviews and case reports that respiratory exposure can cause or worsen breathing problems. For children with sensitive airways, this could raise the risk of asthma-like reactions.

Fertility - Animal studies in mice (reported in 2014–2015) showed reduced fertility and other reproductive effects at moderate doses. These results suggest a real risk to reproductive health seen in lab animals.

Organ Risk - Research and a 2021 review of disinfectant exposures reported possible toxic effects on non-reproductive organs in people, and some studies flag altered toxicological measures after exposure. This points to possible harm to organs with repeated use or exposure.

Environmental - A national environmental agency has flagged this chemical as a suspected toxin to the environment. While it is not thought to persist or build up in tissues, it can still harm wildlife or ecosystems.

Confidence: HIGH

POLYAMINOPROPYL BIGUANIDE

✅3/10

For children aged 5 years and older, this ingredient is usually used as a preservative and is not a high danger in small, well-formulated amounts. Still, some health authorities limit or restrict its use, and it can irritate skin or eyes in sensitive children.

Confidence: MEDIUM

PROPYLENE GLYCOL

✅3/10

For kids aged 5 and up (school-age children and older), propylene glycol in normal skin products is usually low risk. It helps keep skin soft and dissolves other ingredients, but it can sometimes bother sensitive skin or eyes.

Confidence: HIGH

CHLORPHENESIN

✅3/10

For children (5 years and up): Chlorphenesin is a preservative found in some lotions, creams and wipes. Most school-age kids tolerate it, but some people can get skin irritation or allergic reactions.

Confidence: HIGH

DISODIUM EDTA

✅2/10

For children aged 5 and older (school-age kids), Disodium EDTA is generally low risk in the small amounts used in skin products. It is not tied to cancer or developmental harm in the available data. The most important issue is that it can irritate skin or eyes in some people.

Confidence: HIGH

POLYSORBATE 20

✅2/10

For children aged 5 years and up (school-age kids), Polysorbate 20 is usually low risk when used at the small amounts found in everyday wipes, shampoos and lotions. It can sometimes irritate sensitive skin or eyes, and the main safety concern is tiny amounts of manufacturing impurities that brands should control.

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

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 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

ALOE BARBADENSIS LEAF JUICE

✅1/10

For children 5 years and older (school-age kids, older children, teens), aloe vera leaf juice used on the skin is generally safe and low risk. It is commonly used to soothe and hydrate skin in lotions and wipes.

Confidence: HIGH

TOCOPHERYL ACETATE

✅1/10

Safe for most school-age kids when used in small amounts on healthy skin. A few children may get redness or a mild rash.

Confidence: MEDIUM

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.
