⚠️5/10
Not evaluated
Confidence: LOW
alumina
⚠️5/10
For preschoolers and young children (age 2–5), alumina is a moderate concern. It can cause allergic or breathing problems in some people and very small particles may be more likely to get into the skin or lungs than larger ones.
Immune system - A clinical toxicology group lists this ingredient as a human immune and respiratory toxicant and allergen. That means it can trigger or harm the immune system and cause allergic reactions in people.
Asthma - The same clinical toxicology group identifies the ingredient as a known respiratory toxicant and allergen. That shows it can irritate the airways and make breathing problems or asthma worse.
Organ Risk - A national environmental agency and a health regulator classify this substance as expected to be toxic to organs and a medium human-health priority, and animal studies show harmful effects at moderate doses. This means repeated or high exposure can harm organs like the lungs or kidneys.
Absorbed - Nanomaterials experts note this ingredient can be present at nano-scale and may be able to pass through skin. That means tiny particles could get into the body from topical use.
Builds Up - An environmental agency flags this substance as persistent with moderate to high toxicity concern, indicating it can remain and accumulate in the body or environment over time.
Environmental - A national environmental agency suspects the ingredient is an environmental toxin, so it may harm wildlife or ecosystems if released widely.
Long-Term Risk - Because regulators note persistence, potential to build up, and organ toxicity in studies, repeated long-term exposure could lead to health problems later on.
Confidence: MEDIUM
tomato seed oil
⚠️4/10
Tomato seed oil is not a commonly recognized ingredient in baby topical products or sunscreens. It may be a misreading or typo.
Confidence: HIGH
black cumin seed oil
✅3/10
Black cumin seed oil is generally safe topically with minor allergy risk. It may be used for skin benefits in baby products but caution is advised for sensitive skin in 2-5 years.
No Known Risk - Black cumin seed oil is generally considered safe for topical use, with no strong evidence linking it to major health risks in babies. While rare allergic reactions or mild irritation are possible with any natural oil, there is no established research showing significant risks such as hormone disruption, cancer, or organ toxicity when used topically. Therefore, it is classified as having no known risk for babies based on current research.
Confidence: HIGH
butyloctyl salicylate
✅3/10
For children aged 2–5 (toddlers and preschoolers), this ingredient is generally low-to-moderate concern when used on the skin in normal amounts. There are some warnings from studies about contamination and irritation, so use with care.
Confidence: MEDIUM
phenoxyethanol
✅3/10
For toddlers and young children (2–5 years): phenoxyethanol is commonly used as a preservative and is usually okay when products keep it at low levels (around 1% or less). The main risk is that it can irritate skin, eyes, or cause redness for some children.
