Ingredients Analysis (19 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

Citral

⚠️5/10

For toddlers (1-2 years), citral is a moderate concern. It’s a fragrance ingredient that often causes skin irritation or allergic rashes in sensitive people. Many toddlers will not have a problem with very small accidental contact, but their skin is more sensitive than older children or adults.

Irritant - This ingredient is classified as a skin, eye and general irritant by EU GHS hazard labels and is reported to cause irritation of skin, eyes and lungs. That means it can cause redness, stinging or sore eyes and skin reactions on sensitive baby skin.

Immune system - Regulatory sources (the EU Cosmetics Directive) and industry guidance (IFRA) list this chemical as a known human allergen or immune-system toxicant. Peer-reviewed reports also show evidence it can trigger immune reactions, so it can provoke allergic responses in some children.

Eczema - Because it is a known skin allergen and irritant (noted by EU cosmetic rules and fragrance industry reports), it can trigger or worsen eczema and similar skin conditions in people who are sensitive.

Asthma - Lung and respiratory irritation are reported in hazard listings (EU GHS), so inhaling or exposure to this ingredient could make breathing problems or asthma worse in sensitive children.

Confidence: HIGH

Limonene

⚠️5/10

For toddlers (1–2 years): limonene can cause skin irritation and allergic reactions in some children. It is a moderate concern — not the most dangerous ingredient, but use cautiously.

Immune system - This ingredient is listed as a known human allergen and has multiple regulatory flags for immune-system effects (EU cosmetics and hazard labeling rules, and US regulatory listings). That means it can trigger allergic reactions or other immune effects in some people, including children.

Eczema - Experts and regulatory lists identify this chemical as a skin allergen and sensitizer (EU hazard and cosmetics notices). For babies or kids with sensitive skin or a history of eczema, it can trigger or worsen rash and contact dermatitis.

Irritant - Hazard classifications name this ingredient as a skin and general irritant (EU GHS hazard codes). It can cause redness, stinging, or eye and lung irritation if it touches or is breathed in.

Cancer - The ingredient record flags contamination concerns with formaldehyde. Formaldehyde is classified as a carcinogen by international cancer authorities, so contamination raises a potential cancer-related risk if present.

Builds Up - Some environmental assessments and peer-reviewed studies list this chemical as persistent and bioaccumulative in wildlife (OSPAR and scientific literature), meaning it can build up in the environment and animals over time.

Environmental - Regulatory hazard listings and ecological reviews note possible harm to wildlife and the environment (EU hazard codes and environmental assessments). This means its release or repeated use can be harmful to ecosystems.

Confidence: HIGH

Geraniol

⚠️4/10

Geraniol is a fragrance chemical that can cause skin allergy. For toddlers (1-2 years) it can still irritate or sensitize the skin, so it is moderately risky. It is not strongly linked to cancer or developmental harm.

Irritant - This fragrance ingredient is listed by European cosmetic regulators and fragrance safety groups as a known human allergen and linked to dermal reactions. Regulatory reviews note cases of skin allergy and limited evidence of dermal toxicity, so it can cause redness, itching or rashes on sensitive baby skin.

Immune system - European authorities and the international fragrance body identify this chemical as a human immune-system allergen. That means it can trigger immune responses (allergic reactions) rather than being harmless to the immune system.

Eczema - Because this ingredient is a known skin allergen under EU cosmetic rules and has reports of dermal allergy, it can trigger or make eczema and similar skin conditions worse in children with sensitive or reactive skin.

Environmental - National environmental review notes this substance is suspected to be toxic to the environment. While it is not judged persistent or bioaccumulative, it has been flagged for possible harm to wildlife or ecosystems.

Confidence: HIGH

Linalool

⚠️4/10

For toddlers (1–2 years), linalool can cause skin allergy or irritation. It is safer than for newborns but still not ideal in daily leave-on baby products.

Immune system - This ingredient is listed as a known human allergen and a possible immune-system toxicant in official cosmetic safety reviews (European cosmetics rules) and is flagged with strong evidence by the U.S. regulator. That means it can trigger allergic reactions or immune responses in some children.

Irritant - Official cosmetic guidance requires labeling for this ingredient because it can cause allergic skin reactions. The safety reviews identify it as a human allergen, so it can cause redness, itching, or rashes on sensitive baby skin.

Eczema - Because this ingredient is a known allergen and can provoke skin reactions, it may trigger or make eczema and similar skin conditions worse in susceptible children.

Cancer - A contamination concern was specifically flagged for formaldehyde being associated with this ingredient. Formaldehyde is recognized in safety summaries as a harmful contaminant linked to cancer risk, so contamination raises a cancer-related concern.

Confidence: HIGH

Alcohol

⚠️4/10

Alcohol is a broad term and could mean different types such as ethanol or fatty alcohols. Without specification it is unclear which alcohol is present.

✅1/10

For toddlers (1–2 years), xanthan gum used on the skin is generally safe. It’s a common ingredient in baby wipes, lotions and creams and usually does not cause irritation or allergy.

No Known Risk - Safety reviews and regulatory assessments find no health hazards above a low level for topical use. It is approved for limited use in food, classified as not expected to be toxic and a low human-health priority, and not suspected to be an environmental toxin. Cosmetic industry reviewers note only guidance on concentrations or purity. Because no concern was rated above low, no specific risks were identified for babies or children.

Confidence: HIGH

Cocoa Seed Butter

✅1/10

Theobroma cacao seed butter is cocoa butter commonly used as a skin moisturizer and is generally safe for baby skin

No Known Risk - Cocoa butter is widely used in baby products and is generally considered safe for topical use on baby skin. There is no strong evidence linking it to irritation, allergies, hormone disruption, or other health risks in babies. Rare allergic reactions may occur, but these are uncommon and not specific to cocoa butter itself. Current research and regulatory guidance do not identify cocoa butter as a risk for babies.

Confidence: HIGH

Water

✅0/10

Water is very safe for toddlers (1-2 years old) to have on their skin. It is the main base in wipes and baby lotions and is not considered harmful when used as intended.

No Known Risk - Regulatory reviews (Environment Canada) find plain water is not expected to be toxic, not bioaccumulative, and not an environmental toxin.
