behentrimonium methosulfate

✅2/10

For adults, this ingredient is commonly used in hair and skin products and is generally low risk when used as directed. A few lab and animal studies raise small concerns, so ordinary use is usually fine but extra caution is reasonable.

Confidence: MEDIUM

ceteareth-20

✅2/10

Ceteareth-20 is a common ingredient in lotions and creams. For adults it is usually safe on normal, unbroken skin. A few people may get irritation or eye stinging. The bigger thing to know is that some batches can be contaminated with small amounts of harmful manufacturing byproducts (called ethylene oxide and 1,4‑dioxane).

Confidence: HIGH

disodium EDTA

✅2/10

For adults: Disodium EDTA is commonly used to keep cosmetic formulas stable and to help preservatives work. At the small amounts used in skin products it is generally low risk for adults, but it can irritate skin or eyes in some people.

Confidence: HIGH

ethylhexylglycerin

✅2/10

For adults: usually safe in small amounts in creams, lotions and other skin products. Most adults have no problems, but some people can get skin reactions.

Confidence: HIGH

Confidence: HIGH

carbomer

✅1/10

For adults: Carbomer is widely used in lotions, gels and creams and is usually safe when used on normal, unbroken skin.

Confidence: MEDIUM

ceramide NP

✅1/10

For adults and grown-ups: Ceramide NP is generally safe. It’s a skin-like fat that helps lock in moisture and repair dry or damaged skin. Serious risks are very low.

No Known Risk - Authoritative reviews and studies do not identify any health hazards above a low level for typical topical use. A cosmetic safety review notes only guidance/restrictions for use, a European chemicals authority reported limited evidence of mild irritation, and scientific papers note this ingredient can increase skin penetration and produced allergenic responses only at high doses in animal tests. Taken together, there are no higher-than-low concerns for children when this ingredient is used as intended.

Confidence: HIGH

cetearyl alcohol

✅1/10

For adults (grown-ups), cetearyl alcohol is usually safe when used on skin. It helps creams feel smooth and thick and causes problems only rarely.

Confidence: HIGH

cetyl alcohol

Confidence: MEDIUM

dimethicone

✅1/10

For adults, dimethicone in creams and lotions is generally low risk. It helps protect and smooth skin and rarely causes allergy or irritation for most people.

Confidence: MEDIUM

dipotassium phosphate

✅1/10

For adults: this ingredient is generally safe in skin products. It has low concern for cancer, allergies, and effects on reproduction. The biggest practical issue is that it can sometimes cause mild irritation for sensitive people.

No Known Risk - A government food-safety agency has cleared dipotassium phosphate for limited use in foods. A national environmental agency reviewed it and found it is not expected to be toxic, is a low human-health priority, and is not likely to build up in the body. A cosmetic safety review noted irritation data are not fully assessed, but there is no clear evidence of harm. Taken together, current expert reviews show no known health risks for normal topical use.

Confidence: HIGH

glycerin

✅1/10

For adults: glycerin is a common, low‑risk ingredient used in creams and lotions to pull moisture into the skin. Most adults, including those with dry skin, tolerate it well.

Confidence: HIGH

✅1/10

For adults: Phytosphingosine is generally safe when used on normal, unbroken skin. It’s a skin-friendly ingredient that helps the skin’s barrier and can reduce bacteria.

No Known Risk - Public safety reviews and ingredient profiles for this topical ingredient rate cancer, allergies/immunity, developmental and reproductive effects, and use restrictions as low. No higher-than-low hazards or specific organ, hormone, brain-development, or long-term risks were found in the available assessments for normal topical use, so there are no identified health risks at this time.

Confidence: HIGH

potassium phosphate

For adults: potassium phosphate is generally safe on the skin. It’s used to balance product acidity and is considered low risk for everyday topical use.

No Known Risk - Available safety reviews do not show any concerns above a low level. The U.S. food safety authority says this ingredient is safe for limited use in food. Environment Canada finds it is not expected to be toxic and is not likely to build up in the body or environment. A cosmetic safety review notes that irritation data are limited, but experts did not identify stronger hazards. Because no risks above low were found, no other labels apply.

Confidence: HIGH

sodium hyaluronate

✅1/10

For adults (grown-ups), sodium hyaluronate is generally safe when used on the skin. It’s a gentle moisturizing ingredient used in many lotions and serums and rarely causes problems.

No Known Risk - Major safety reviews and government checks report low concern for this ingredient when used on the skin. Industry safety reviewers note some data gaps and recommend limits on how much may be used in products, and a government environmental review flagged uncertain effects on the environment. Some product-verification programs also require extra proof before allowing it. Taken together, there are no clear health risks above a low level in the available assessments.

Confidence: HIGH

sodium lauroyl lactylate

✅1/10

For adults: this ingredient is generally safe. It’s a mild helper that keeps creams and cleansers stable and helps clean skin without strong irritation for most people.

No Known Risk - Cosmetic safety reviews note only low-level concerns for this topical ingredient.

xanthan gum

✅1/10

For adults: xanthan gum is a low-risk ingredient used to thicken and stabilize lotions and creams. Most people can use it without problems.

No Known Risk - Safety reviews and regulatory assessments find no health hazards above a low level for topical use. It is approved for limited use in food, classified as not expected to be toxic and a low human-health priority, and not suspected to be an environmental toxin. Cosmetic industry reviewers note only guidance on concentrations or purity. Because no concern was rated above low, no specific risks were identified for babies or children.

Confidence: HIGH

Aqua

✅0/10

For adults, plain water used on the skin is very safe. It's the main ingredient in many creams and lotions. It is not expected to cause cancer, major allergic problems, or harm to reproduction according to government safety reviews.

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

ceramide AP

✅0/10

For adults: Ceramide AP is a skin-friendly lipid that helps repair and protect the skin. It is generally very safe for topical use and is commonly found in moisturizers and creams.

No Known Risk - Available safety information shows low concern for cancer, allergies, and reproductive or developmental harm for typical skin use. A cosmetic safety review panel notes only that manufacturers should follow limits on concentration, impurities, and product types — a guidance step, not evidence of harm. Based on this, no clear health risks have been identified for normal topical use.

Confidence: HIGH

ceramide EOP

✅0/10

For adults: Ceramide EOP is generally safe and is used to repair and protect the skin. It is considered low risk for long-term harm and is commonly found in moisturizers.

No Known Risk - Regulatory and industry safety reviews found only very minor concerns. A European chemical authority noted limited evidence of skin irritation, and an industry cosmetic review points to use restrictions and impurity controls, but neither found stronger hazards (like cancer, hormone, organ, or developmental harm). Because no concerns above low were reported, no specific health risks have been identified for normal topical use.
