Ingredients Analysis (24 found)

CI 47005 D C Yellow No 10
🚨6/10
For toddlers (children aged 1–2 years), D&C Yellow No. 10 is a synthetic skin dye that raises moderate safety concerns. It has official use limits and reported contamination issues, plus some studies link it to mild irritation, allergic reactions, and low-to-moderate nervous system or hormone effects. It’s not a must-have ingredient and safer, dye-free options exist.
Immune system - A scientific re-evaluation report and case studies found people had immune or allergic reactions to this dye. That report specifically notes human cases of allergic or immune effects, so it can trigger immune responses in some users.
Eczema - Human case reports in the scientific re-evaluation noted allergic skin reactions. That means this ingredient can worsen or trigger eczema and related rashes in sensitive children.
Brain Development - Case studies and a scientific opinion report describe possible nervous-system effects in people exposed to this dye. Because of those reports, there is concern about effects on the developing brain with exposure.
Organ Risk - The ingredient record flags contamination concerns including heavy metals and industrial contaminants (for example cadmium and aniline). These contaminants are known to harm organs like the liver and kidneys with repeated exposure, so contaminated batches pose organ risk.
Absorbed - This color is used on skin and the ingredient notes call out enhanced skin absorption. That means some of the chemical (and any contaminants) can get through baby or child skin and enter the body.
Banned - Regulators restrict how this color can be used. For example, a major national regulator does not approve it for cosmetics around the eyes and enforces concentration/usage limits. Those official rules mean it is restricted or banned for certain uses.
Confidence: HIGH
Parfum 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
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
Benzyl Alcohol
⚠️4/10
For toddlers (1-2 years), benzyl alcohol is commonly used in small amounts in creams and lotions. The biggest concern is that it can cause skin allergies or irritation in some children. At low levels it is often tolerated, but extra care is recommended for young children.
Immune system - Benzyl alcohol is a known human allergen with strong evidence of immune effects. Regulators and scientific reviews list it as an allergenic or immunotoxicant and there are human case reports of allergic reactions, so it can trigger immune responses in children.
Eczema - There are strong reports and regulatory listings showing benzyl alcohol can cause allergic skin reactions. Because of this, it can trigger or make eczema and similar rashes worse on sensitive baby skin.
Irritant - There is documented evidence of skin and eye irritation from benzyl alcohol (including agency evaluations of irritation), so it can cause redness, stinging, or rashes—especially on sensitive or infant skin.
Organ Risk - Government hazard classifications and peer-reviewed sources have identified benzyl alcohol as toxic or harmful to organ systems at some exposures. These classifications indicate repeated or higher exposures could affect organs (for example liver or kidneys).
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
Sodium C14-16 Olefin Sulfonate
⚠️4/10
For toddlers (1-2 years): This ingredient is usually used in foaming cleansers. It is often okay in rinse-off products (like baby shampoo or body wash) but is not the best choice for leave-on products. Toddlers' skin is still developing, so extra caution is wise.
Organ Risk - Environment Canada lists this ingredient as “expected to be toxic or harmful” to non-reproductive organs and gives it a medium human-health priority. That means repeated or high exposures could hurt organs (for example liver, kidneys, or lungs). The regulatory review named in the ingredient file is the source of this concern (Environment Canada).
Cancer - The ingredient file flags contamination concerns, specifically the impurity gamma‑sultone, and the industry safety review (Cosmetic Ingredient Review, CIR) recommends limits on impurities. Impurities like gamma‑sultone can raise cancer-related worries, so this is a moderate contamination-linked cancer risk to be aware of.
Long-Term Risk - The same reviews note this ingredient is a medium human-health priority and that safety conclusions depend on concentration and use. The CIR also notes data gaps and concentration limits in its safety assessment. Together, these findings point to possible long-term health risks with repeated or high exposures.
Confidence: MEDIUM
Dimethyl Lauramide Myristamide

Cannot understand what Dimethyl Lauramide Myristamide is it might be a misreading or a typo not recognized as a standard ingredient
Confidence: HIGH
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
Sodium Hydroxide
3/10
For toddlers (1–2 years), small amounts of this ingredient in finished, well‑formulated products are usually low risk. It becomes dangerous if present at high strength because it can burn or strongly irritate skin and eyes.
Confidence: HIGH
Benzoic Acid
2/10
For toddlers (1–2 years), benzoic acid used at the low levels found in many skin products is usually considered low risk. It is commonly used to prevent mold and bacteria. A small number of children with sensitive skin may get mild irritation or a rash.
Confidence: HIGH
Caramel
2/10
Caramel is a colorant often used for appearance and is generally considered safe for topical use in baby products
No Known Risk - Caramel, when used topically, is generally considered safe and does not have evidence linking it to skin irritation, hormone disruption, cancer, or other health risks in babies. There are no studies or regulatory warnings indicating topical caramel poses a risk to infants or children.
Confidence: HIGH
Citric Acid
2/10
For toddlers (1-2 years), citric acid in normal skin products is usually safe at the low levels used. It helps control product pH and keep products stable. The biggest concern is skin or eye irritation, not long-term disease.
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
Sorbic Acid
2/10
For toddlers (1-2 years), sorbic acid is usually low risk and is used to stop products from growing bacteria. But some children can get a skin allergy or irritation from it, so it should be used carefully.
Confidence: MEDIUM
German Chamomile Extract
2/10
For toddlers (1-2 years old), German chamomile extract is usually safe on the skin and is often used to soothe irritation. Serious problems are uncommon, but some people can have allergic reactions.
No Known Risk - Reviews by cosmetic safety experts and regulatory assessments found only limited or mixed information and did not identify clear hazards for topical use. A few small human case reports and a clinical review noted possible, but unclear, effects; these were inconclusive and not strong enough to show a real risk. Because the evidence is weak and inconsistent, no health risks above low were identified for this ingredient.
Confidence: MEDIUM
Matricaria Flower
2/10
Matricaria Flower is chamomile known for soothing skin and is generally safe in topical baby products but may cause mild allergies in sensitive infants
Confidence: HIGH
Glycerin
1/10

Confidence: HIGH
Hydrolyzed Corn Starch
1/10
For toddlers (1-2 years) hydrolyzed corn starch is generally safe to use on the skin. It is a gentle, food-derived ingredient used to thicken and condition skin and has only low-level safety concerns in public safety reviews.
No Known Risk - Available safety information shows low concern for cancer, allergies/immune effects, developmental or reproductive harm, and use restrictions for topical use. A cosmetic industry safety review notes only routine recommendations (limits on impurities or concentrations) rather than a health hazard. Based on this, no meaningful health risks have been identified for normal topical use of this ingredient.
Confidence: HIGH
Hydroxypropyl Guar Hydroxypropyltrimonium Chloride
1/10
For toddlers (1-2 years old) this ingredient is generally low risk when used in rinse-off products like baby shampoo or bodywash. It’s a conditioning ingredient that is unlikely to cause harm for most young children.
No Known Risk - Independent safety reviews found low concern for cancer, allergies, and reproductive or developmental harm when used on skin. The industry safety panel also notes gaps in data and recommends limits on how much can be used in products, and some product-verification programs require extra proof that it is safe. Overall, current reviews do not show a health risk for children from normal topical use.
Confidence: MEDIUM
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 Chloride
1/10
Sodium chloride is ordinary salt. For toddlers (1–2 years) it is generally safe in the tiny amounts used in skin products. It is a low-risk ingredient and is not thought to cause long-term harm.
No Known Risk - Regulatory reviews flag no meaningful health hazards for topical use. Food and health authorities list it as safe for limited use, and environmental assessments find it unlikely to harm organs, build up in the body, or damage wildlife. Overall expert sources rate concerns as low across cancer, allergies, development, and use restrictions.
Confidence: HIGH
Sodium Lauroamphoacetate
1/10
For toddlers (1–2 years) this ingredient is usually safe when it’s in rinse-off products like shampoos and body washes. It’s a mild cleansing ingredient and most children won’t have a problem with it.
Confidence: HIGH
Aqua 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. Safety summaries list no concerns above a low level for organ harm, reproductive effects, or other long‑term risks for topical use, so no specific health risks are identified for use on skin.
