Confidence: MEDIUM
zinc citrate
2/10
For adults, this ingredient is usually okay on the skin when used as directed. Bigger risks like cancer or allergies are not a main concern based on available reviews.
Confidence: MEDIUM
allantoin

For adults: Allantoin is generally safe to use on the skin. It’s often added to creams and lotions to soothe and help protect dry or irritated skin. Most people tolerate it well and the overall risk is very low.
No Known Risk - Government and industry safety reviews find no evidence that topical use of this ingredient harms organs, builds up in the body, or damages the environment. Reviewers do note some gaps in the safety data and recommend following concentration limits and proper testing for products, but no real hazards were identified for normal skin use.
Confidence: HIGH
arginine PCA

1/10
For adults this ingredient is considered very low risk. It is a mild, commonly used skin conditioner that most adults can use without problems.
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. Big safety reviews flag low health concerns for cancer or long-term effects, but they do note two things to watch for: irritation for sensitive people and the possibility of tiny amounts of manufacturing impurities.
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.

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.

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.
