Ingredients Analysis (13 found)

Fragrance

⚠️5/10

Perfume is a common ingredient in baby products for scent but can cause irritation or allergies in sensitive children aged 5 and above. Use with caution.

Irritant - Fragrance mixtures often contain chemicals that can cause skin irritation, redness, or rashes, especially on sensitive baby skin.

Eczema - Fragrances are known triggers for eczema flare-ups and can worsen symptoms in babies with sensitive or atopic skin.

Asthma - Fragrance chemicals can release volatile organic compounds (VOCs) that may worsen asthma or breathing issues in babies and children.

Hormones - Some fragrance ingredients, such as certain phthalates, are suspected endocrine disruptors that may interfere with hormone development.

Absorbed - Certain fragrance chemicals can be absorbed through the skin and detected in the bloodstream, raising concerns for systemic exposure.

Breast Milk - Some fragrance components, including phthalates, have been detected in breast milk, indicating they can pass from mother to baby.

Banned - Some fragrance ingredients are banned or restricted in the EU and other countries due to health concerns.

Builds Up - Certain fragrance chemicals, such as some phthalates and musks, can accumulate in the body over time with repeated exposure.

Long-Term Risk - Long-term exposure to some fragrance chemicals has been linked to chronic health effects, including hormone disruption and allergic diseases.

Confidence: HIGH

Cocamidopropyl Betaine

✅3/10

For children 5 years and older, this ingredient is usually OK in shampoos and washes that are rinsed off. It helps make foam and clean without being very harsh for most kids. A small number of people can get skin irritation or allergic rashes, and regulators have raised concerns about possible contaminants from manufacturing.

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-150 Pentaerythrityl Tetrastearate

✅2/10

For school-age children (5+ years), this ingredient is probably low risk when used in normal skin products. It’s mainly a texture/emulsifying ingredient and is not commonly linked to cancer or allergy problems. The main concern is possible contamination with solvents (ethylene oxide and 1,4-dioxane) if a manufacturer does not control impurities.

Confidence: MEDIUM

PEG-80 Sorbitan Laurate

✅2/10

For kids aged 5 and up, this ingredient is usually okay in small amounts on normal skin, but it can cause skin reactions in some people and the ingredient report raises concerns about contamination with impurities.

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

Sodium Benzoate

✅2/10

For school-age kids (5 years and up), sodium benzoate is usually safe in the small amounts used in lotions, wipes and creams. It helps stop bacteria and mold. Serious problems like cancer or widespread allergies are not expected, but some safety groups and countries set limits on how much can be used.

Confidence: HIGH

Decyl Glucoside

✅1/10

For children 5 years and older: this is generally safe. It’s a gentle cleanser used in many kid shampoos and washes. Most children won’t have a problem, but a small number of people can get skin irritation or an allergic rash.

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

PPG-2 Hydroxyethyl Cocamide

✅1/10

For kids aged 5 and up, this ingredient is generally low risk. It helps products make foam and clean skin. Most safety checks show low concern for serious health issues, but it can cause mild irritation in some people.

No Known Risk - A cosmetic safety review panel evaluated this ingredient and found it safe for use in skin products when kept to the recommended amounts. The panel noted a small chance of skin or eye irritation and said it should be formulated to avoid irritation, but no higher-level hazards were identified.

Confidence: HIGH

Sodium Methyl Cocoyl Taurate

✅1/10

For children aged 5 and up, this is a mild cleansing ingredient commonly found in kid-friendly shampoos and washes. Overall it has low concern, but it can irritate eyes and may help other ingredients get into the skin more easily.

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.
