Ingredients Analysis (23 found)

fragrance

🚨6/10

Perfume in baby products can cause skin irritation or allergic reactions in 1-2 year olds. It is often added for scent but should be used cautiously.

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

retinyl palmitate

🚨6/10

Retinyl palmitate is a vitamin A derivative with potential skin irritation and toxicity risk for babies likely used as antioxidant

Irritant - Retinyl Palmitate can cause skin irritation, redness, and peeling, especially on sensitive baby skin.

Sun Burn - Retinyl Palmitate may increase skin sensitivity to sunlight, raising the risk of sunburn.

Absorbed - Retinyl Palmitate can be absorbed through the skin and enter the bloodstream.

Cancer - Some studies suggest that Retinyl Palmitate may speed up the development of skin tumors when exposed to sunlight, though evidence is mixed.

Confidence: HIGH

behentrimonium chloride

⚠️5/10

For toddlers (1-2 years), this conditioning ingredient is moderately safe but not risk-free. It can cause skin or eye irritation and some children may be allergic or have breathing reactions. Some official reviews allow its use only with limits.

Immune system - A specialist list of asthma-causing chemicals flags this ingredient as a human allergen, and reviews of quaternary ammonium compounds note links to immune or allergy effects. That means it can trigger allergic reactions in some people.

Asthma - An asthmagen compilation lists this chemical as a cause of respiratory allergy and there is limited evidence it can harm breathing. Kids with sensitive lungs or asthma could be affected.

Banned - This ingredient is subject to government limits: the EU cosmetics rules list restrictions and a cosmetic safety panel says it is allowed only with limits. That shows some countries regulate or limit its use.

Organ Risk - Some toxicology reviews and human-focused studies raise concern that quaternary ammonium compounds can affect organs. This ingredient has been noted as a possible human toxicant in those reports.

Fertility - Animal studies (mouse studies) found lower fertility after exposure to similar quaternary ammonium disinfectants, showing effects on male and female reproductive systems at moderate doses.

Hormones - Laboratory research found that quaternary ammonium compounds can interfere with cholesterol and hormone pathways, which suggests this ingredient may disrupt normal hormone processes.

Environmental - A government environmental review flags this class of chemicals as a suspected environmental toxin, so it may harm aquatic life or ecosystems if released widely.

Confidence: MEDIUM

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).
