Ingredients Analysis (26 found)

Triethanolamine
⚠️5/10
Safety information not properly formatted for easy understanding
Immune system - Multiple safety reviews note that triethanolamine shows evidence of immune and allergy effects in people, including reports of immune system or allergy concerns and respiratory allergic reactions (noted by cosmetic safety reviewers and occupational health assessments). This means it can affect the immune response in children who are exposed.
Irritant - A cosmetic safety review found strong evidence that triethanolamine is a human skin toxicant or allergen. That means it can cause skin redness, itching, or rashes—especially on sensitive or young skin.
Asthma - An occupational health review lists triethanolamine as a human respiratory toxicant or allergen, so inhalation or skin exposure may worsen breathing problems or trigger asthma-like responses in sensitive children.
Eczema - Because triethanolamine is reported as a skin allergen/toxicant, it can trigger or worsen eczema and similar skin conditions in babies and children prone to eczema.
Organ Risk - A national environmental agency classifies triethanolamine as expected to be toxic or harmful to non-reproductive organs, and regulatory toxicology notes animal studies showing effects at moderate doses. Repeated or high exposures could harm organs such as the liver or kidneys.
Banned - Cosmetic safety reviews and regional cosmetic rules place limits on how this ingredient may be used and at what concentrations, and some regulations restrict its use in certain products. This means some countries impose legal use or concentration limits.
Cancer - There is a high-listed concern about contamination with nitrosamines (a class of chemicals linked to cancer). While the ingredient itself is not judged likely to cause cancer, the potential for nitrosamine contamination raises a cancer-related risk from impurities.
Confidence: HIGH
Cocamidopropyl betaine
⚠️5/10
For toddlers (1-2 years old), this ingredient is commonly used in baby shampoos and washes to create foam and help clean. It is moderately safe in rinse-off products when manufacturers control impurities, but it can sometimes cause skin irritation or allergic reactions.
Immune system - Cosmetic safety reviews (Cosmetic Ingredient Review and draft safety reports) report limited evidence that cocamidopropyl betaine can sensitize skin or trigger allergic reactions. That means it can affect the immune system in some people, especially those with sensitive skin.
Irritant - Industry safety assessments note limited evidence of skin sensitization and explicitly warn the ingredient may be unsafe in products left on the skin (not rinsed off). This shows it can cause redness, itching, or irritation for some users.
Eczema - Safety panels and reports observed cases of sensitization and recommend limits on use and product types. Because it can provoke skin reactions, it may trigger or worsen eczema in sensitive children.
Cancer - Regulatory and industry reviews flag contamination concerns for this ingredient, including nitrosamines and related amines. Nitrosamines are known to be carcinogenic, so impurity risks raise a cancer concern unless impurities are controlled as industry reviewers recommend.
Banned - Expert panels and tentative regulatory reports recommend use, concentration, and manufacturing restrictions for this ingredient and note it is unsafe in some product types (leave-on). While not universally banned, it is subject to regulatory or industry limits in some contexts.
Environmental - A national environmental agency (Environment Canada) flagged this ingredient as a suspected environmental toxin, indicating possible harm to ecosystems if released into the environment.
Confidence: HIGH
Stearamide AMP
⚠️4/10
Stearamide AMP is not a recognized cosmetic ingredient name it may be a misreading or typo so safety cannot be assessed
Confidence: HIGH
Disodium EDTA
3/10
For toddlers (1–2 years): usually low risk when used at the small amounts found in normal skin cleansers and lotions. The main concern is skin or eye irritation, and it can make it easier for other ingredients to pass through the skin, so be careful with young children.
Confidence: HIGH
Petrolatum
3/10
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
Tetrasodium EDTA
3/10
For toddlers (1-2 years old) this ingredient is usually low risk at the tiny amounts used in skin products. It can irritate sensitive skin or eyes and can increase how much other things get into the skin, so use with caution on young children.
Confidence: HIGH
Citric Acid
2/10
For toddlers (1-2 years), citric acid in normal skin products is usually safe at the low levels used. It helps control product pH and keep products stable. The biggest concern is skin or eye irritation, not long-term disease.
Confidence: HIGH
Dimethicone
2/10
For toddlers (1-2 years), dimethicone is usually safe on the skin. It helps protect and lock in moisture and is commonly used in baby creams and diaper creams. Serious health risks are considered low, but there are some concerns about impurities and environmental persistence raised by government and safety reviewers.
Confidence: MEDIUM
Sodium Benzoate
2/10
For toddlers (1–2 years old) sodium benzoate is usually low risk when used in small amounts in wipes, lotions or shampoos made for children. It helps prevent germs in products, but can sometimes bother sensitive skin.
Confidence: MEDIUM
Titanium Dioxide
2/10
For toddlers (1-2 years) titanium dioxide in creams or sunscreens is usually low risk because it stays on the skin surface. The bigger worry is breathing in very fine powder or spray forms.
Confidence: HIGH
Acrylates C10-30 alkyl acrylate crosspolymer
2/10
For toddlers (1–2 years): generally low risk. This ingredient helps thicken creams and wipes and usually stays on the skin surface. Most kids won’t absorb much of it.
