Heliotropine

🚨6/10

Premium Fragrance Oil is a vague term for fragrance blends that may contain allergens or irritants. Fragrances often cause skin sensitivity in young children.

Confidence: HIGH

fragrance

⚠️5/10

Perfume in baby products can cause skin irritation or allergies in 2-5 year olds. It is likely included for fragrance but should be used with caution.

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

Eau

⚠️5/10

Linalyl Acetate

⚠️4/10

For preschool children (2–5 years), linalyl acetate can cause skin allergies in some kids. It is not generally linked to cancer or developmental harm, but it can become a strong skin allergen if it oxidizes on exposure to air.

Immune system - Linalyl acetate can turn into strong contact allergens when it oxidizes in air. This allergy risk is noted by regulatory and health authorities, which list it as a human allergen/toxicant and flag immunotoxicity concerns.

Irritant - Oxidized linalyl acetate is linked to skin reactions and dermal toxicity in people. Testing and safety reviews report it can cause contact dermatitis and other skin irritation after topical use.

Eczema - Because it can form potent contact allergens on air exposure, this ingredient can trigger or make eczema and similar skin conditions worse, as noted in clinical reports and chemical safety assessments.

Confidence: MEDIUM

Chamomilla Recutita Flower Extract

✅2/10

For children 2-5 years (toddlers, young children), chamomile flower extract is usually safe on the skin when used in normal amounts found in everyday lotions, wipes or shampoos. The biggest risk is skin allergy, especially if your child has ragweed or pollen allergies or very sensitive skin.

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

Citric Acid

✅2/10

For children aged 2–5 (toddlers and preschoolers), citric acid in small amounts found in wipes, lotions, and bath products is usually safe. It can sometimes cause mild stinging or irritation, especially on very sensitive or broken skin.

Confidence: HIGH

Confidence: HIGH

Potassium Sorbate

✅2/10

For toddlers and young children (2–5 years), potassium sorbate is usually safe in small amounts in creams and lotions. The biggest issue is that it can cause skin allergies or irritation in some children.

Confidence: HIGH

Sodium Benzoate

✅2/10

For children ages 2-5 (toddlers, preschoolers), sodium benzoate is usually safe in small amounts when it's in products made for kids. Big safety reviewers and government agencies generally see low risk at the low levels used in lotions and wipes, but there are rules that limit how much can be used.

Confidence: HIGH

Vaccinium Myrtillus Leaf Extract

✅2/10

Vaccinium Myrtillus Leaf Extract is a plant extract used for antioxidant properties generally safe in low concentrations for baby skin

No Known Risk - Bilberry leaf extract is generally considered safe for topical use, with no evidence of significant risks such as irritation, hormone disruption, or organ toxicity in babies. There are no studies linking it to the other listed risks when used on skin.

Confidence: MEDIUM

Vanillin

✅2/10

Confidence: MEDIUM

Blueberry Leaf Extract

✅1/10

Blueberry Leaf Extract is a natural botanical ingredient with low toxicity and low irritation potential commonly used in baby care products for its antioxidant properties.

No Known Risk - Blueberry leaf extract is generally considered safe for topical use, with no evidence in scientific literature linking it to irritation, allergies, hormone disruption, or other health risks in babies. There are no known reports of toxicity or adverse effects when used on skin, and it is not banned or restricted in any country for cosmetic use. Therefore, no risk labels apply based on current research.

Confidence: HIGH

Decyl Glucoside

✅1/10

For children 2–5 years old (toddlers and preschoolers), decyl glucoside is a gentle soap-like ingredient used to clean hair and skin. Most kids tolerate it well, but a few people can get skin irritation or an allergic rash.

Confidence: HIGH

Glycerin

✅1/10

Confidence: HIGH

Glyceryl Oleate

✅1/10

For children aged 2–5 (toddlers and preschoolers), glyceryl oleate is generally safe when used in creams or lotions meant for kids. It is not linked to cancer or major long-term harm at normal use levels, but it can sometimes irritate skin or eyes.

Confidence: HIGH

Triethyl Citrate

✅1/10

For children 2–5 years (toddlers and preschoolers), this ingredient is usually low risk when used on the skin. It is not known to build up in the body and is not linked to cancer or developmental harm at normal product levels. The main issue is that some people can be allergic to it.

Confidence: MEDIUM

Matricaria Flower Extract

✅1/10

Chamomilla Recutita Matricaria Flower Extract is commonly used for its soothing properties and is generally safe for topical use in children

No Known Risk - Major safety reviews and a small number of human case reports show only low or unclear concerns. Experts have judged the ingredient safe for topical use when used with normal concentration limits, and reported allergic or nerve-related cases are rare and not clearly linked to the ingredient. Because there is no clear, above-low evidence of harm, no specific risks are flagged.

Confidence: HIGH

Aqua

✅0/10

For children aged 2-5 years (toddlers and preschoolers), plain water used on the skin is very safe. Water by itself does not cause harm and is commonly the main ingredient in wipes and lotions.

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.
