⚠️5/10
Not evaluated
Confidence: LOW
butyloctyl salicylate
⚠️4/10
For toddlers (1–2 years) this ingredient is probably okay in small amounts in lotions or sunscreens made for children, but there are reasons to be careful. Some studies and safety reviews flag possible contamination with salicylic acid and recommend limits on use or concentration.
Absorbed - The ingredient is used on skin and the safety notes flag enhanced skin absorption and contamination with salicylic acid. Peer-reviewed assessments say this can increase how much gets into the body, so topical use can lead to systemic exposure.
Fertility - Regulatory and peer-reviewed assessments found animal studies showing developmental and reproductive effects at moderate doses. A formal assessment of salicylate esters flagged reproductive/developmental concerns.
Hormones - Peer-reviewed literature associates this ingredient with endocrine disruption. That means it can affect natural hormone systems in early life or during development.
Confuse Hormones - Scientific reviews report this substance can act like or interfere with normal hormones (an endocrine effect). This can confuse hormone signals during growth and development.
Irritant - Animal studies in the literature show eye, respiratory and skin irritation at higher doses. That means it can cause redness, stinging, or breathing irritation in some uses or at high exposure.
Sun Burn - An industry safety panel (Cosmetic Ingredient Review) notes it must be formulated to avoid increasing sun sensitivity. If not, it can make skin burn faster in the sun.
Long-Term Risk - Industry and peer-reviewed sources place limits or use restrictions on this ingredient, indicating it needs concentration or formulation limits to be considered safe over time.
Confidence: MEDIUM
cyclopentasiloxane
⚠️4/10
For toddlers (1–2 years), this ingredient is not among the highest immediate risks, but there are animal and environmental reports showing concerns (hormone and nervous-system effects in animal studies, and that the chemical can stick around in the environment and build up in bodies). Because little long-term human data exists and young children have more skin exposure relative to their size, we recommend being cautious.
Hormones - Animal studies show this chemical can change hormone-related systems and affect reproduction in lab rats. Government and lab reports flagged endocrine effects after repeated exposures, so it may interfere with normal hormone development.
Brain Development - Lab studies found effects on nervous system targets (including dopamine receptors) at moderate doses in animals. That suggests a possible risk to early brain growth if infants or children are exposed.
Organ Risk - Government assessments note it can harm non-reproductive organs and animal studies link repeated exposure to organ effects. This shows it can be toxic to internal organs with ongoing exposure.
Cancer - A long-term animal inhalation study reported tumor findings in rats after repeated exposure. That animal evidence raises concern about a cancer link with repeated exposures.
Builds Up - European chemical regulators and government testing list this substance as persistent and bioaccumulative in wildlife and people. That means it can collect in the body over time.
Long-Term Risk - Because the chemical persists, builds up, and is linked to organ, hormone, and cancer findings in studies, it poses possible health effects after years of exposure.
Absorbed - Safety reviews note enhanced skin absorption for this ingredient when used on skin. That means it can get through the skin and into the body after topical use.
Environmental - Environment‑level reviews name this chemical as an environmental toxin and flag harm to wildlife. It is suspected to cause ecological damage when released into the environment.
Fertility - A two‑generation reproductive study in animals showed effects from repeated exposure, which raises concern about impacts on fertility and reproductive health.
Banned - European regulatory lists and some government guidance have put this substance on serious concern lists and recommend limits or controls in products and manufacturing, meaning it faces restrictions in some places.
Breast Milk - Because the chemical is persistent and bioaccumulative in people according to regulatory reviews, it can build up in the body and may reach breast milk and thus expose nursing infants.
