Fragrance
🚨6/10

Irritant - Fragrance mixtures often contain chemicals that can cause skin irritation, redness, or rashes, especially on sensitive baby skin.
Eczema - Fragrances are known triggers for eczema flare-ups and can worsen symptoms in babies with sensitive or atopic skin.
Asthma - Fragrance chemicals can release volatile organic compounds (VOCs) that may worsen asthma or breathing issues in babies and children.
Hormones - Some fragrance ingredients, such as certain phthalates, are suspected endocrine disruptors that may interfere with hormone development.
Absorbed - Certain fragrance chemicals can be absorbed through the skin and detected in the bloodstream, raising concerns for systemic exposure.
Breast Milk - Some fragrance components, including phthalates, have been detected in breast milk, indicating they can pass from mother to baby.
Banned - Some fragrance ingredients are banned or restricted in the EU and other countries due to health concerns.
Builds Up - Certain fragrance chemicals, such as some phthalates and musks, can accumulate in the body over time with repeated exposure.
Long-Term Risk - Long-term exposure to some fragrance chemicals has been linked to chronic health effects, including hormone disruption and allergic diseases.

Confidence: HIGH
Disodium EDTA
3/10

Confidence: HIGH
PEG-100 Stearate
3/10
For toddlers (1-2 years) PEG-100 Stearate is usually low risk when applied to normal skin. It helps mix oil and water in lotions. The main worry is not the ingredient itself but possible contamination from manufacturing (chemicals called ethylene oxide and 1,4-dioxane).

Purified white petrolatum is generally safe for toddlers (1–2 years) when used as a thin, protective layer on small areas of skin.
Confidence: MEDIUM
Phenoxyethanol
3/10
For toddlers (1–2 years) phenoxyethanol is usually safe in skin products when used at the low levels manufacturers follow (around 1% or less). It helps prevent germs in creams and lotions. The main issue is that it can sometimes cause skin irritation or, rarely, allergic reactions.
Confidence: HIGH
Sodium Hydroxide
3/10

Taken together, current evidence does not show any health risks above low for typical use.
Confidence: MEDIUM
Magnesium Aluminum Silicate
1/10
For toddlers (1-2 years old) — also called babies, little ones, or young children — this clay-like ingredient is usually low risk when used on the skin in normal creams, lotions or cleansers. It’s mainly a thickener and is not linked to cancer or fertility problems at typical use levels. The biggest concern is irritation if the product creates dust or is inhaled.
No Known Risk - Independent safety reviews and government assessments (Environment Canada and an industry safety review) find this ingredient is not expected to be toxic to organs, not likely to build up in the body, and show only low concern for cancer, allergies, or reproductive harm.
