Ingredients Analysis (18 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
Cetrimonium Chloride
⚠️4/10
For toddlers and preschoolers (ages 2–5), this ingredient is commonly used in hair and skin products but can irritate the skin, eyes, or airways in some children and may trigger allergic reactions. Authorities allow it in cosmetics at limited concentrations, but a small number of studies also show possible effects in animal or lab tests at higher exposures.
Banned - This ingredient is restricted for some uses in cosmetic rules in the European Union and is allowed only at limited concentrations, so some countries limit or control it (EU Cosmetics Directive; Cosmetic Ingredient Review).
Immune system - There is strong evidence this chemical can cause allergic reactions and affect the immune system, including being listed as a human skin toxicant or allergen (Cosmetic Ingredient Review; asthmagen compilation).
Asthma - This substance is listed as an asthmagen and has been linked to respiratory allergies in people exposed at work, so it can make breathing problems worse (asthmagen compilation; peer-reviewed occupational studies).
Irritant - Lab and human data show it can irritate skin, eyes and the lungs in some people, so it may cause redness, stinging, or breathing irritation on contact (European Chemicals Agency; Cosmetic Ingredient Review; peer-reviewed studies).
Organ Risk - Some regulatory reviews and human data flag possible harm to organs after exposure, so repeated or heavy exposure could affect non-reproductive organs (European Chemicals Agency; peer-reviewed toxicology reports).
Fertility - Animal studies show reduced fertility after exposure, so it has been linked to effects on male and female reproductive systems in lab animals (peer-reviewed animal studies on quaternary ammonium compounds).
Brain Development - Lab tests and some human case reports suggest effects on nerve cells and development, so there is concern for effects on early brain growth from exposure (in vitro neurodevelopment studies; European Chemicals Agency case reports).
Hormones - Research shows this chemical can interfere with hormone-related pathways, including cholesterol production that hormones need, so it may disturb normal hormone function (peer-reviewed study identifying inhibition of cholesterol biosynthesis).
Confuse Hormones - Because it can act on hormone-related processes in lab studies, it may mimic or block normal hormone signals and confuse the body's messaging (peer-reviewed endocrine disruption research).
Metabolism - Studies found the ingredient can change how the body makes cholesterol, so it may affect basic metabolism pathways (peer-reviewed study on cholesterol biosynthesis inhibition).
Environmental - Government reviews list this compound as suspected to harm the environment, so it may be toxic to wildlife or ecosystems if released (Environment Canada; European Chemicals Agency).
Confidence: HIGH
Citrus Medica Limonum Fruit Extract
⚠️4/10
Citrus Medica Limonum Fruit Extract may cause irritation or sensitization in young children and is often used for fragrance or astringent properties
Irritant - Lemon extract contains citric acid and other compounds that can irritate sensitive baby skin, causing redness or rashes, especially with repeated topical use.
Sun Burn - Lemon extract contains compounds called furocoumarins, which can increase skin sensitivity to sunlight (photosensitivity), raising the risk of sunburn when applied topically.
Confidence: MEDIUM
Trideceth-12
3/10
Trideceth-12 is a mild ingredient used to help mix oil and water in soaps and creams. For preschoolers (2–5 years), it is generally low risk for long-term harms, but small amounts of manufacturing contaminants have been flagged by safety reviews.
Confidence: MEDIUM
Actinidia Chinensis Fruit Extract
2/10
Actinidia Chinensis Fruit Extract is kiwi extract used for antioxidant or soothing properties minor allergy risk in sensitive children
No Known Risk - Actinidia Chinensis (kiwi) fruit extract is generally considered safe for topical use, with no evidence in scientific literature linking it to irritation, hormone disruption, cancer, or other health risks in babies.

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
Disodium EDTA
2/10
For children aged 2–5 years (toddlers, preschoolers): usually low risk in small amounts. Main problems to watch for are skin or eye irritation, and it can slightly increase how much other ingredients get through the skin.
Confidence: HIGH
Polysorbate 20
2/10
For toddlers and preschoolers (ages 2–5), Polysorbate 20 is usually safe on the skin in common products. Most children will not have problems, but a small number with very sensitive skin may get irritation. The biggest concern is tiny amounts of unwanted contaminants that can come from how the ingredient is made.
Confidence: HIGH
