Ingredients Analysis (19 found)

glyceryl rosinate

⚠️4/10

For preschoolers and young children (ages 2-5): this ingredient can cause skin allergies or irritation in some kids. Overall risk is moderate mainly because of allergic reactions and its ability to help other ingredients get into the skin.

Irritant - An industry safety review (Cosmetic Ingredient Review, CIR) found strong evidence that this ingredient can be a human skin toxicant or allergen. That means it can cause redness, itching, or rashes on sensitive or baby skin.

Eczema - The CIR specifically reports strong evidence of skin allergenicity. Because it can trigger allergic skin reactions, it may start or make eczema and similar conditions worse in children with sensitive skin.

Immune system - The ingredient is linked to allergies and immunotoxicity in the CIR assessment. Allergic reactions are immune responses, so this ingredient can provoke or misdirect a child’s immune system.

Absorbed - The CIR notes this substance can act as a penetration enhancer. That means it can increase how much of itself or other ingredients pass through the skin and enter the body.

Long-Term Risk - Industry reviewers (CIR) recommend use and concentration limits and note data gaps in safety testing. The FDA also notes this material can appear in food or additives with limited toxicity information. Those restrictions and gaps raise concern that repeated or combined exposures over time could carry unknown long-term risks.

Confidence: MEDIUM

lavandula hybrida oil

⚠️4/10

For toddlers and preschoolers (ages 2–5), lavandin oil is usually low risk but not without concerns. Most data show low risk for cancer or long-term poisoning, but there are reports it may affect hormones in a few children and it can irritate sensitive skin.

Hormones - A 2019 review and case reports found that lavandin/lavender products showed estrogen-like activity and were linked to early breast changes in children. That means this oil can affect normal hormone development.

Confuse Hormones - Laboratory and clinical reports showed the oil can act like estrogen in the body, which can confuse normal hormone signals during growth and puberty.

Absorbed - This ingredient is used on skin and is also noted as being used in food/additives, so the body can get exposed by skin contact or ingestion according to regulatory notes.
