Ingredients Analysis (22 found)

Parfum

🚨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.

Confidence: HIGH

Fragrance

🚨6/10

Fragrance in baby shampoo and bodywash can cause skin irritation or allergic reactions in 1-2 year olds. It is used to improve scent but poses safety concerns.

Confidence: HIGH

Coco-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

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

Lauramidopropyl Betaine

⚠️4/10

For toddlers (1-2 years), this ingredient is generally considered OK in rinse-off products like baby shampoos and body washes. It can sometimes cause mild irritation or rare allergic reactions. The bigger concern is possible contamination during manufacturing, so product quality matters.

Immune system - An expert safety review noted limited evidence that this ingredient can cause immune or allergic reactions. The same safety panel flagged allergies and immune effects as a concern (rated above low), so people with sensitive skin or known allergies could react.

Irritant - The safety assessment and expert report list limited evidence of allergy and skin reactions tied to this ingredient and related compounds. That means it can cause redness, itch, or contact dermatitis in some people, especially on sensitive baby skin.

Banned - Cosmetic safety reviewers and a product verification program have placed restrictions on use and require limits or proof for including this ingredient in certified products. An expert panel specifically recommended use or concentration limits, which signals regulatory caution.

Long-Term Risk - The ingredient record flags high contamination concerns: specific impurities (for example, 3‑dimethylaminopropylamine and related amines) were identified. Impurities can create risks over time with repeated exposure, so long-term safety depends on manufacturing controls.

Confidence: HIGH

Sodium Trideceth Sulfate

⚠️4/10

For toddlers (1-2 years old) this ingredient is a soap-like cleanser that is generally low risk for most direct health effects but can be drying or irritating if used often or at strong concentrations. There is a separate concern about manufacturing contamination (small amounts of ethylene oxide and 1,4‑dioxane) reported by ingredient reviewers.

Cancer - The ingredient report flags high contamination concerns for ethylene oxide and 1,4‑dioxane being present as impurities. Those two contaminants are linked to cancer by public health authorities, so their possible presence in this ingredient is a real cancer risk if children are exposed.

Long-Term Risk - Because the ingredient can carry harmful impurities and industry guidance calls for limits on impurities and manufacturing methods, repeated use over time could raise long-term health risks. The ingredient report specifically notes high contamination concerns and cites industry review recommending controls on impurities.

Confidence: MEDIUM

Coumarin

✅3/10

For toddlers (1-2 years), coumarin can cause skin allergies in some children. The main worry is allergic reactions and the ingredient can make it easier for other things to get through the skin. Overall danger is moderate and mostly about skin reactions, not cancer.

Confidence: MEDIUM

Tetrasodium EDTA

✅3/10

For toddlers (1-2 years old) this ingredient is usually low risk at the tiny amounts used in skin products. It can irritate sensitive skin or eyes and can increase how much other things get into the skin, so use with caution on young children.

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.
