Ingredients Analysis (7 found)

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
Cornstarch
✅1/10
Pure Cornstarch is commonly used as a safe absorbent and skin protectant in baby products. It is non-toxic and gentle for topical use on 2-5 year olds.
No Known Risk - Cornstarch is widely used in baby powders and topical products, and current research does not show immediate health concerns for topical use on intact skin. While there is some caution for use on broken skin or in cases of inhalation, for topical use on healthy baby skin, there are no established risks based on available evidence.
Confidence: HIGH
Zinc Oxide
✅1/10
Zinc oxide is generally safe for 2 to 5 year olds when used on skin. It acts as a barrier and is used in diaper creams and sunscreens.
Confidence: HIGH
aloe vera
✅1/10
Aloe vera is commonly used in baby products for soothing skin and is generally safe for ages 2-5 years topically
Confidence: HIGH
chamomile
✅1/10
Matricaria Chamomilla is chamomile extract commonly used for soothing skin and is generally safe for 2-5 years in topical products
Confidence: HIGH
kaolin
✅1/10
Kaolin is a gentle natural clay often used to dry and soothe skin. For toddlers and preschoolers (ages 2-5) it is generally safe when used on normal, unbroken skin.
No Known Risk - Government safety reviews find kaolin is not expected to be harmful to organs, is a low human-health priority, does not build up in the body, and is not considered an environmental toxin. Some product verification programs do require extra proof before allowing it, but current safety assessments do not identify real health risks for children from topical use.
Confidence: HIGH
tricalcium phosphate
✅1/10
For preschoolers (2–5 years), tricalcium phosphate used on the skin is generally safe and low risk. It’s often added to creams, powders, and lotions as an absorbent or to keep products from clumping. Major health concerns like cancer or long-term harm are not expected at normal topical use.
No Known Risk - Government and expert reviews do not show clear hazards for tricalcium phosphate. A Canadian health agency classifies it as not expected to be toxic and a low human-health priority. U.S. regulatory notes say it can be allowed in some limited food uses (and list a few specific prohibitions), and a cosmetics review found only possible irritation with the evidence described as unassessed. Together this means there are no proven or elevated risks for typical topical use on children.
