Ingredients Analysis (19 found)

Methylchloroisothiazolinone Et Methylisothiazolinone

🚨7/10

Methylchloroisothiazolinone and methylisothiazolinone are preservatives linked to allergic reactions and skin sensitization, especially in young children. Use with caution in baby products.

Confidence: HIGH

Fenugreek Seed Extract

🚨6/10

Fenugreek seed extract may cause allergic reactions and skin irritation in babies and is not commonly used in baby care products

Irritant - Fenugreek seed extract may cause skin irritation, redness, or rashes, particularly on sensitive baby skin.

Confidence: MEDIUM

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

Cocamidopropyl Betaine

⚠️5/10

For toddlers (1-2 years old), this ingredient is commonly used in baby shampoos and washes to create foam and help clean. It is moderately safe in rinse-off products when manufacturers control impurities, but it can sometimes cause skin irritation or allergic reactions.

Immune system - Cosmetic safety reviews (Cosmetic Ingredient Review and draft safety reports) report limited evidence that cocamidopropyl betaine can sensitize skin or trigger allergic reactions. That means it can affect the immune system in some people, especially those with sensitive skin.

Irritant - Industry safety assessments note limited evidence of skin sensitization and explicitly warn the ingredient may be unsafe in products left on the skin (not rinsed off). This shows it can cause redness, itching, or irritation for some users.

Eczema - Safety panels and reports observed cases of sensitization and recommend limits on use and product types. Because it can provoke skin reactions, it may trigger or worsen eczema in sensitive children.

Cancer - Regulatory and industry reviews flag contamination concerns for this ingredient, including nitrosamines and related amines. Nitrosamines are known to be carcinogenic, so impurity risks raise a cancer concern unless impurities are controlled as industry reviewers recommend.

Banned - Expert panels and tentative regulatory reports recommend use, concentration, and manufacturing restrictions for this ingredient and note it is unsafe in some product types (leave-on). While not universally banned, it is subject to regulatory or industry limits in some contexts.

Environmental - A national environmental agency (Environment Canada) flagged this ingredient as a suspected environmental toxin, indicating possible harm to ecosystems if released into the environment.

Confidence: HIGH

Tetrasodium EDTA

✅3/10

✅2/10

Chickpea seed extract is generally safe topically low allergen risk used as a skin conditioner but monitor for rare legume allergies

✅2/10

For toddlers (1–2 years), Coco‑Glucoside is generally safe. It is a gentle cleanser found in baby and children’s shampoos, body washes, and wipes. Most children do fine with it, but a few can get irritation or an allergic rash.

Confidence: HIGH

PEG-150 Distearate

✅2/10

For toddlers (1-2 years) this ingredient is usually low risk. It works as a gentle mixing agent in creams and lotions. The main worry is not the ingredient itself but possible small amounts of manufacturing impurities that should be removed before the product is sold.

Confidence: HIGH

PEG-80 Sorbitan Laurate

✅2/10

For toddlers (1–2 years), PEG-80 Sorbitan Laurate is usually low risk when used on the skin in normal rinse-off or wipe products. It helps products spread and mix. But some safety reviews show it can cause skin allergy in some people and there are concerns about possible manufacturing impurities.

Confidence: HIGH

Sodium Benzoate

✅2/10

For toddlers (1–2 years old) sodium benzoate is usually low risk when used in small amounts in wipes, lotions or shampoos made for children. It helps prevent germs in products, but can sometimes bother sensitive skin.

Confidence: MEDIUM

Trigonella Foenum-Graecum

✅2/10

Trigonella Foenum-Graecum is fenugreek extract used for skin benefits. Generally safe topically but limited data for babies 1-2 years so minor caution advised.

Confidence: MEDIUM

Disodium Cocoamphodiacetate

No Known Risk - Government and cosmetic safety reviewers evaluated this ingredient and did not find evidence of serious harms for normal topical use. A Canadian regulator said it is not expected to be toxic or to build up in the body. European and industry reviewers noted only limited, low evidence for mild skin or eye irritation. No clear links were found to cancer, reproductive harm, organ damage, or environmental toxicity. Because the reported concerns are low or limited, there are no known significant risks for typical use on skin.

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