Ingredients Analysis (22 found)

clary sage

⚠️5/10

Clary sage oil may cause skin irritation or sensitization in babies and is not recommended for infants topical use likely added for fragrance

Irritant - Clary sage oil is an essential oil that can cause skin irritation, redness, or rashes, especially on sensitive baby skin or if not properly diluted.

Absorbed - Clary sage oil contains compounds that can be absorbed through the skin, potentially entering the bloodstream, which is a concern for babies with developing systems.

Confidence: MEDIUM

anise seed extract

⚠️4/10

For toddlers (1-2 years), this extract can be used carefully but it can cause allergic skin reactions in some children. The main worry is allergy, not long-term toxicity.

Immune system - This extract is flagged as a known human allergen and there is evidence it can cause immune reactions on the skin. The EU cosmetics authority lists it as an allergen and a European chemicals review notes cases of dermal allergy, so it can trigger allergic responses in some children if applied to skin.

Irritant - Regulatory review found limited evidence of dermal toxicity and allergic skin reactions. That means the extract can cause skin irritation like redness, itching, or stinging in sensitive individuals, including babies and young children.

Eczema - Because it is reported to cause skin allergies and irritation, it may trigger or make eczema worse in children who are prone to atopic or contact dermatitis. This concern is based on the allergen listings and dermal reaction reports from European safety reviews.

Confidence: MEDIUM
