Ingredients Analysis (14 found)

benzethonium chloride
🚨6/10
For toddlers (1–2 years) this ingredient carries some concerns seen in animal and laboratory studies and is limited or restricted in some countries. The risk is lower than for infants but not zero, so it should be used carefully.
Banned - This ingredient faces formal limits in some countries. Health Canada and Japan impose restrictions or prohibitions for certain cosmetic uses, and an industry safety panel recommends safe concentration limits depending on where the product is applied. These regulatory actions mean some uses are limited by officials and safety reviewers.
Fertility - Animal studies on related quaternary ammonium compounds showed reduced fertility and reproductive effects in mice at moderate doses. These peer‑reviewed laboratory studies raise real concerns about effects on reproductive systems in mammals.
Hormones - Laboratory research has linked quaternary ammonium compounds like this one to interference with hormone‑related biology (for example, blocking steps in cholesterol and steroid production). That kind of interference is a form of endocrine disruption and can change how hormones work.
Immune system - Reviews and human exposure reports note limited but real evidence of immune and allergic reactions, including respiratory sensitivities, after exposure to quaternary ammonium compounds. That means some people may have allergy or immune responses to products containing this ingredient.
Asthma - There is limited human and review evidence that exposure to this class of disinfectant chemicals can affect the airways and worsen breathing issues. Health and toxicology reports flagged respiratory effects after exposure, so people with asthma or breathing problems may be more at risk.
Organ Risk - Some sources describe possible non‑reproductive organ toxic effects from exposure to quaternary ammonium compounds, while government reviews have given mixed findings. Because there is evidence pointing to potential organ toxicity in people and animals, repeated or high exposures could harm organs like the liver or lungs.
Confidence: HIGH
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
retinyl palmitate
🚨6/10
Retinyl palmitate is a vitamin A derivative with potential skin irritation and toxicity risk for babies likely used as antioxidant
Irritant - Retinyl Palmitate can cause skin irritation, redness, and peeling, especially on sensitive baby skin.
Sun Burn - Retinyl Palmitate may increase skin sensitivity to sunlight, raising the risk of sunburn.
Absorbed - Retinyl Palmitate can be absorbed through the skin and enter the bloodstream.
Cancer - Some studies suggest that Retinyl Palmitate may speed up the development of skin tumors when exposed to sunlight, though evidence is mixed.
Confidence: HIGH
lavandula angustifolia extract
⚠️5/10
Lavender extract may cause skin irritation or allergic reactions in babies and is used for fragrance or soothing effect
Irritant - Lavender extract can cause skin irritation, redness, or rashes in sensitive individuals, especially infants with delicate skin.
Hormones - Some studies suggest lavender oil may have hormone-disrupting effects, such as acting as a weak estrogen mimic, raising concerns about its use on babies.
Confuse Hormones - There is evidence that lavender extract can act as an endocrine disruptor, potentially confusing natural hormone signals in children.
Confidence: MEDIUM
chamomilla recutita flower extract
✅3/10
This chamomile extract is usually gentle and often used to calm skin. For toddlers (1-2 years) it is mostly safe, but a small number of people can get skin allergies or sensitivities.
No Known Risk - Major safety reviews find only low or unclear concerns. A cosmetic safety panel says this chamomile extract is generally safe in products when used with limits, and the European chemicals agency notes only limited evidence of skin allergy. A few small human studies and a review reported unclear (equivocal) findings for nerve or pregnancy effects, but the data are not strong. No health concern here is rated above low.
Confidence: HIGH
rosmarinus officinalis leaf extract
✅3/10
For toddlers (1-2 years) rosemary leaf extract is usually low risk but can cause skin irritation or allergic reactions in some children.
Confidence: HIGH
ascorbyl palmitate
✅2/10
For toddlers (1–2 years), ascorbyl palmitate is generally low risk when used in small amounts on normal, unbroken skin. However, lab studies show it can increase damaging molecules in skin cells after strong sun (UV-B) exposure, and some product-safety reviewers recommend limits or further safety data.
Confidence: MEDIUM
isopropyl myristate
✅2/10
For toddlers (1–2 years) this ingredient is generally low risk and often used to make skin feel soft. Most children will not have a problem, but some people can get contact rashes and it can help other ingredients pass through the skin more easily.
Confidence: HIGH
tocopheryl acetate
✅2/10
Usually fine for toddlers’ skin at normal amounts, but a few kids may get a rash.
Confidence: MEDIUM
acacia farnesiana flower extract
✅1/10
For toddlers (1–2 years): this plant extract is generally low risk when used on the skin in small amounts. It’s not known to cause serious harm, but evidence is limited so we stay cautious for young children.
No Known Risk - Reviewed safety summaries for this topical plant extract do not show any health concerns above a low level. No hazards requiring a warning for children were identified in the available ingredient reviews, so no specific risk labels apply.
Confidence: MEDIUM
corn starch
✅1/10
Zea Mays Starch is corn starch used as an absorbent and thickener in baby products and is considered very safe for topical use
No Known Risk - Corn starch is widely used in baby powders and topical products, and current research does not show any significant health risks when used on intact skin. It is generally considered safe for topical use on babies, with no evidence linking it to irritation, hormone disruption, cancer, or other long-term health effects. However, care should be taken to avoid inhalation of powders, but for topical use, there are no known risks.
Confidence: HIGH
silica
✅1/10
Silica is commonly used as an absorbent or anti-caking agent in topical products and is considered safe for baby skin
Confidence: HIGH
sodium bicarbonate
✅1/10
Safety information not properly formatted for easy understanding
No Known Risk - Government and industry safety reviews find no clear hazards for normal topical use. The U.S. FDA allows limited food uses; Environment Canada says it is not expected to be toxic or to build up in the body; an industry safety panel notes some data gaps and sets safe use limits but does not identify a health risk when used as intended. Based on these assessments, there are no known health risks for typical topical use.
Confidence: HIGH
aloe barbadensis leaf extract
✅1/10
Aloe barbadensis leaf extract is commonly used in baby products for soothing and moisturizing with very low risk for 1-2 year olds in topical use.
Confidence: HIGH
