For adults, this ingredient is usually safe in creams and lotions. It acts as a thickener and most people tolerate it well. A few animal studies saw irritation or other effects only at much higher doses than you would get from normal skin products.

No Known Risk - A formal safety review and the available ingredient data report only low-level findings from animal tests and do not identify any higher-level health risks for people. The data show no concerns above the lowest level, so there are currently no applicable higher-risk labels.

Confidence: HIGH

Panthenol

✅1/10

For adults, panthenol (provitamin B5) is generally safe when used on the skin or hair in regular products. It helps moisturize and soften the skin and is linked to very low health concerns.

It is not expected to harm organs, does not appear to build up in the body or the environment, and common concerns (cancer, allergies, reproductive effects) were rated low. There are some industry notes about safe use levels and a few data gaps, but no higher-level health risks were identified.

Confidence: HIGH

Tetrasodium Glutamate Diacetate

✅1/10

For adults, this ingredient is generally considered low risk when used in normal skin products. It helps keep formulas stable. There are some safety notes in the scientific data, but most people tolerate it on normal, unbroken skin.

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

No Known Risk - Sunflower seed oil is widely used in baby skincare products and is generally considered safe for topical use.
