Ingredients Analysis (29 found)

Melaleuca Alternifolia Tea Tree Leaf Extract

⚠️4/10

For toddlers (1-2 years), tea tree leaf extract is usually low risk for long-term harm but can irritate the skin or cause allergic reactions in some children. Most healthy toddlers will not have serious problems from small, occasional use, but some are sensitive.

Organ Risk - A European chemical agency (ECHA) has classified this tea tree leaf extract as toxic or harmful to non-reproductive organ systems. That means repeated or strong exposure could hurt organs (for example liver, kidneys, or lungs) rather than just the skin. This classification is the basis for the concern.

Environmental - The same European chemical agency notes wildlife and environmental toxicity for this ingredient. That means it can harm plants, fish, or other animals if it gets into water or the environment.

Confidence: HIGH
