Ingredients Analysis (18 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
Cetrimonium Chloride
⚠️5/10
For toddlers (1–2 years), this ingredient can be used with caution. It can irritate skin, eyes, or lungs in some people and can cause allergic reactions. Toddlers are less fragile than newborns, but reactions still happen.
Banned - This ingredient is restricted for some uses in cosmetic rules in the European Union and is allowed only at limited concentrations, so some countries limit or control it (EU Cosmetics Directive; Cosmetic Ingredient Review).
Immune system - There is strong evidence this chemical can cause allergic reactions and affect the immune system, including being listed as a human skin toxicant or allergen (Cosmetic Ingredient Review; asthmagen compilation).
Asthma - This substance is listed as an asthmagen and has been linked to respiratory allergies in people exposed at work, so it can make breathing problems worse (asthmagen compilation; peer-reviewed occupational studies).
Irritant - Lab and human data show it can irritate skin, eyes and the lungs in some people, so it may cause redness, stinging, or breathing irritation on contact (European Chemicals Agency; Cosmetic Ingredient Review; peer-reviewed studies).
Organ Risk - Some regulatory reviews and human data flag possible harm to organs after exposure, so repeated or heavy exposure could affect non-reproductive organs (European Chemicals Agency; peer-reviewed toxicology reports).
Fertility - Animal studies show reduced fertility after exposure, so it has been linked to effects on male and female reproductive systems in lab animals (peer-reviewed animal studies on quaternary ammonium compounds).
Brain Development - Lab tests and some human case reports suggest effects on nerve cells and development, so there is concern for effects on early brain growth from exposure (in vitro neurodevelopment studies; European Chemicals Agency case reports).
Hormones - Research shows this chemical can interfere with hormone-related pathways, including cholesterol production that hormones need, so it may disturb normal hormone function (peer-reviewed study identifying inhibition of cholesterol biosynthesis).
Confuse Hormones - Because it can act on hormone-related processes in lab studies, it may mimic or block normal hormone signals and confuse the body's messaging (peer-reviewed endocrine disruption research).
Metabolism - Studies found the ingredient can change how the body makes cholesterol, so it may affect basic metabolism pathways (peer-reviewed study on cholesterol biosynthesis inhibition).
Environmental - Government reviews list this compound as suspected to harm the environment, so it may be toxic to wildlife or ecosystems if released (Environment Canada; European Chemicals Agency).
Confidence: HIGH
Trideceth-12
⚠️4/10
For toddlers (1-2 years): this ingredient is generally seen as low risk, but there are real concerns about contamination and mild irritation. Occasional, short contact use (rinsed-off products like shampoo or body wash) is usually safer than leave-on creams.
Cancer - There is a high contamination concern because the ingredient can contain ethylene oxide and 1,4-dioxane. These contaminants are linked to cancer risk and are specifically flagged in the ingredient record by a government assessment.
Organ Risk - A Canadian government assessment classified this ingredient as expected to be toxic or harmful to non-reproductive organs and gave it a medium human-health priority, so it may harm organs like liver, kidneys, or lungs with repeated use.
Irritant - A cosmetic safety review notes possible skin, eye, or lung irritation from this ingredient, so it can cause redness, itching, or other irritation on sensitive baby skin.
Environmental - A government assessment lists this ingredient as a suspected environmental toxin, meaning it may cause harm to wildlife or ecosystems if released into the environment.
Long-Term Risk - Because the ingredient can be contaminated with known carcinogens and is flagged for non-reproductive organ toxicity, there is a potential for long-term health effects with repeated exposure according to the assessments noted in the ingredient record.
Confidence: MEDIUM
