Ingredients Analysis (12 found)

WATER

⚠️5/10

Water is safe for topical use in children over 5 years and is commonly used as a solvent or base in baby care products

Confidence: HIGH

EAU

⚠️5/10

Eau is water in French, commonly used as a solvent in baby products. It is very safe for topical use on babies 5 years and older.

Confidence: HIGH

CALCIUM HYDROXIDE

⚠️4/10

For children 5 years and older, calcium hydroxide can irritate the skin, eyes and breathing. When used at low levels in products made to avoid irritation it is usually okay, but it is not a gentle ingredient and needs care.

Irritant - Authoritative safety guides list calcium hydroxide as an irritant to skin, eyes, and lungs. A chemical-hazards pocket guide classifies it as an eye/skin/lung irritant, a U.S. medical toxicology source reports evidence of skin irritation, and an industry safety panel says it can cause irritation unless used at limited concentrations. For a baby, that means this ingredient can cause redness, stinging, or rashes on delicate skin or damage if it gets in the eyes.

Asthma - Chemical-hazard guidance specifically calls out lung irritation from calcium hydroxide. Because it can irritate the lungs, it can make breathing problems or asthma worse in children if inhaled or if fine dust/aerosols reach the airways.

Banned - Regulatory sources for cosmetics show use and concentration limits for calcium hydroxide and recommend restrictions. The EU Cosmetics Directive / Cosing records restrictions and the industry review panel says it is only safe when formulated to avoid irritation. These rules mean some countries or product standards limit or prohibit its use in cosmetics.

Confidence: MEDIUM

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

ACRYLATES/C10-30 ALKYL ACRYLATE CROSSPOLYMER

✅1/10

For children aged 5 years and older (kids, school-age children), this ingredient is usually safe when used on the skin in rinse-off products like shampoo and body wash. The ingredient itself is not tied to cancer or long-term development harm in this age group, but safety notes show possible irritation and possible manufacturing contamination.

Confidence: MEDIUM

DAUCUS CAROTA SATIVA (CARROT) ROOT EXTRACT

✅1/10

For children aged 5 and older (kids, school-age children, preteens), carrot root extract is usually safe to use on the skin. Most safety information shows low concern. A small number of people can get a skin reaction.

Confidence: HIGH

SORBITAN OLEATE

✅1/10

For kids aged 5 years and older (school-age children, tweens, teens), sorbitan oleate is generally safe. It’s a common ingredient that helps oils and water mix in creams and lotions and is found to be low risk when used at normal levels.

Confidence: HIGH

ZEA MAYS (CORN) OIL

✅1/10

Zea Mays Oil is corn oil used as an emollient in skincare products and is considered very safe for topical use in children over 5 years

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

AQUA

✅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.

Confidence: HIGH

OLEA EUROPAEA (OLIVE) FRUIT OIL

✅0/10

Organic olive oil is safe for topical use in children over 5 years often used as a moisturizer or emollient

No Known Risk - Olive oil is generally considered safe for topical use on baby skin, with no strong evidence linking it to irritation, eczema, or other health risks in most infants. While some studies suggest it may worsen eczema in predisposed babies, this is not consistent or proven for the general population. There are no known links to hormone disruption, cancer, organ risk, or other listed risks based on current research.

Confidence: HIGH

TOCOPHEROL

✅0/10

For children 5 years and older, tocopherol (vitamin E) used on the skin is generally safe. Most kids tolerate it well. A few people can get skin irritation or an allergy, but that is uncommon.

Confidence: HIGH
