Ingredients Analysis (28 found)

Heliotropine
🚨6/10
Heliotropine also known as piperonal is a fragrance ingredient with allergen potential and limited safety data for young children
Irritant - Piperonal can cause mild skin irritation in sensitive individuals, especially with repeated or prolonged topical exposure, which may be a concern for babies' delicate skin.
Confidence: MEDIUM
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
Water
⚠️5/10
Water is very safe for topical use in 2-5 year old babies. It acts as a solvent and base in shampoos and bodywashes.
Confidence: HIGH
Eau
⚠️5/10

Confidence: HIGH
Parfum
⚠️5/10
Parfum is a fragrance blend that can cause skin irritation or allergies in sensitive children aged 2-5. It is common in shampoos and bodywashes for scent.
Confidence: HIGH
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
Sodium Coco-Sulfate
✅3/10
For toddlers and preschoolers (ages 2–5), this is a common soap-type ingredient used mostly in shampoos and washes. It is usually okay when used in rinse-off products at low amounts, but it can irritate skin and eyes, and may dry out sensitive skin.

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

Confidence: HIGH

No Known Risk - Reviewed safety summaries from widely used cosmetic ingredient resources show only low-level concerns for cancer, allergy/immune effects, and reproductive or developmental effects for topical use. That means no real risks were identified for normal skin use on children. As with any plant extract, if your child has a known plant allergy, do a small patch test first and stop use if irritation appears.

Overall expert sources rate concerns as low across cancer, allergies, development, and use restrictions.
Confidence: HIGH
Sodium Cocoyl Isethionate
✅1/10
For children aged 2-5 (toddlers and preschoolers), this is generally a gentle cleansing ingredient and is low risk when used in normal wash-off products like shampoos and body washes.
No Known Risk - Reviews by a cosmetic safety review panel and a national environment agency found no significant health hazards. The ingredient is not thought to build up in the body or harm organs, and it is considered safe in products when used at the allowed levels (with different limits for rinse-off versus leave-on products). There are some notes about possible mild irritation and that safety limits are set, but overall no real health risks were identified.
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
