Ingredients Analysis (8 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.

For kids aged 2-5 (toddlers and preschoolers), cod liver oil used on the skin is generally low risk. It’s a fish oil used in some moisturizers. Serious problems are uncommon, but some children can get skin irritation or an allergic reaction.

No Known Risk - Available safety notes rate cancer, allergy, reproductive, and use-restriction concerns as low for topical use. Environment Canada classifies cod liver oil as not expected to be toxic, a low human-health priority, and not suspected to be an environmental toxin. Taken together, these findings show no identified health risks for topical use.

Confidence: HIGH

lecithin

✅1/10

For toddlers and preschoolers (2–5 years), lecithin in creams is usually low risk. It helps products feel smooth and holds ingredients together. Still, some children can get allergic reactions, and there are reports about contamination and about lecithin helping other ingredients get through the skin.

Confidence: MEDIUM

paraffin

✅1/10

For toddlers and preschoolers (ages 2–5), paraffin used on the skin is usually low risk when used like a normal moisturizer or balm.

Confidence: HIGH

microcrystalline wax

✅0/10

For toddlers and preschoolers (ages 2-5): microcrystalline wax is generally safe when used on the skin. It acts as a protective, waxy layer and is not linked to cancer or allergies in the reviewed information. Some studies and reviews do note that related mineral-oil components can build up in body tissues, so we take a few simple precautions.
