Ingredients Analysis (19 found)

⚠️5/10

Not evaluated

Confidence: LOW

Potassium Hydroxide

⚠️5/10

For kids aged 5 and older (school-age children), potassium hydroxide can cause skin or eye irritation and at higher amounts can burn. When it is used in skin products, rules require it only be used in low amounts and formulated so it won’t irritate. That makes it a moderate concern for children.

Banned - This ingredient is restricted for use in cosmetics under the EU Cosmetics Directive and industry safety reviewers (CIR) say it may only be used with limits or special formulation controls. Regulatory listings and product-verification rules mean some products are not allowed to contain it without strong safety proof.

Organ Risk - European hazard labeling (EU GHS) and Environment Canada classify this chemical as toxic or harmful to organs and list it as a medium human-health priority. That means it can damage non-reproductive organs with unsafe exposures.

Long-Term Risk - Environment Canada’s assessment and EU hazard classifications indicate concerns that repeated or long-term exposures could lead to lasting health effects. Workplace rules also limit allowable exposure, showing regulators see risk over time.

Confidence: HIGH

Petrolatum

✅2/10

Safe for most school‑age kids when you pick a high‑purity, fully refined petroleum jelly and use it on healthy skin.

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

Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Extract

✅1/10

For school-age children (5 years and up), aloe vera leaf extract in lotions, gels, and wipes is generally safe and low risk. It is used to soothe and hydrate skin. Allergic reactions are uncommon but possible.

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

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

Magnesium Sulfate

✅1/10

For school-aged kids (5 years and up), magnesium sulfate on the skin is generally safe. Authorities say it’s unlikely to cause harm and it’s often used in bath products and lotions.

No Known Risk - Regulatory reviews find no meaningful health hazards for topical use. The U.S. food agency allows limited use in food, the Canadian health authority says it is not expected to be toxic and ranks it a low human-health priority, and independent cosmetic reviewers note only routine limits on concentration or impurities. It is also not suspected to build up in the body or harm the environment. Based on these official assessments, there are no real, above‑low concerns identified for normal topical use.

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: HIGH

Sorbitan Sesquioleate

✅1/10

For school-age children (ages 5 and up) this ingredient is generally low risk. It’s used to help water and oil mix in lotions and wipes and safety reviews find it unlikely to cause serious health problems.

No Known Risk - Current safety reviews and a government health assessment find no health hazards from normal topical use and classify it as low priority for human health. An industry safety review notes some data gaps and recommends limits on how it is used, but no concerns above low were identified.

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

Tropolone

✅1/10

For children aged 5 and older (school-age kids and teens), tropolone is generally safe for use on the skin. The overall risk is low, though a few people can get mild skin irritation or an allergic reaction.

No Known Risk - Reviewed toxicology and regulatory notes show only low-level concerns across cancer, immune/allergy, and reproductive areas. There is only limited evidence of skin irritation or allergic reaction from testing, and no higher-than-low risks were identified for topical use.

Confidence: MEDIUM

Zinc Oxide

✅1/10

Zinc oxide is very safe for topical use on children 5 years and older, it protects skin and acts as a sunscreen ingredient with low risk of harm

Confidence: HIGH

Cera Alba

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

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.

Confidence: HIGH

Cera Microcristallina

✅0/10

For children 5 years and older (school-age kids), microcrystalline wax is generally safe to use on the skin in normal cosmetic amounts. It acts as a thickener or moisturizing base and is not linked to strong evidence of cancer, allergy, or reproductive harm.
