Ingredients Analysis (25 found)

mentha piperita oil
🚨7/10
Peppermint oil can cause skin irritation and respiratory issues in young children often used for fragrance or cooling effect
Irritant - Peppermint oil is known to cause skin irritation, redness, and rashes, especially on sensitive baby skin due to its menthol content.
Asthma - The strong menthol vapors from peppermint oil can trigger or worsen breathing issues, including asthma, in sensitive children and infants.
Absorbed - Essential oils like peppermint oil can be absorbed through the skin, and babies have a higher skin absorption rate, increasing systemic exposure.
Confidence: HIGH
methylisothiazolinone
🚨7/10
For toddlers and preschoolers (2-5 years), this preservative can cause allergic skin reactions (rashes, redness, itching). Many experts and some governments have limited or banned its use in products that stay on the skin because of these allergy risks. Overall, avoid using it on young children's skin when possible.
Immune system - This ingredient is a known skin sensitizer and can trigger immune reactions. Toxicity reviews and safety assessments list strong evidence that it causes allergic reactions in people, and regulators note it as an allergen.
Eczema - There are human case reports of children who developed allergic contact dermatitis after exposure (for example, from baby wipes). These cases show it can start or make eczema and similar rashes worse.
Irritant - Workplace and safety reports show it can irritate skin, eyes, or lungs and act as a skin irritant for some people.
Banned - Government safety opinions and national agencies have restricted or banned its use in cosmetics in some places and set limits on how it may be used, indicating regulatory concern about safety.
Confidence: HIGH
peppermint oil
🚨6/10
Peppermint oil can cause skin irritation and sensitization in young children especially in topical products like shampoo and bodywash. Use with caution for 2-5 years.
Confidence: HIGH
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
methylchloroisothiazolinone
⚠️5/10
For children 2–5 years (toddlers and preschoolers): this preservative can cause skin allergies in some kids. The chance of a reaction is lower than for babies, but it still happens, especially in children with sensitive or eczema-prone skin.
Immune system - There is moderate to strong evidence this chemical can trigger immune reactions in the skin. Human reviews and safety assessments report it as a skin allergen, and case reports include children with allergic contact dermatitis after exposure.
Eczema - Documented cases show this ingredient caused allergic contact dermatitis in babies (for example, reactions linked to baby wipes), and industry safety reviews list strong evidence of skin allergy risk—so it can trigger or worsen eczema in sensitive children.
Irritant - Reports and workplace health evaluations describe it as a possible skin, eye, or lung irritant and skin sensitizer, so it can cause redness, itching, or rashes on sensitive baby skin.
Banned - Several government reviews and safety opinions restrict or prohibit its use in some cosmetics (for example, actions and limits noted by national health authorities and regulatory safety panels), so it is banned or tightly limited in some countries or product types.
Absorbed - Safety notes flag enhanced skin absorption for this ingredient, which means it can get through the skin more readily and reach the body after topical use.
Builds Up - While some regulatory assessments report low persistence, other reviews raise moderate concern about persistence and accumulation; because of mixed findings, there is a real chance it could build up with repeated exposure.
Confidence: HIGH
pogostemon cablin oil
⚠️5/10
Pogostemon Cablin Oil is patchouli oil used for fragrance. It may cause skin irritation or sensitization in young children. Use with caution in baby products.
Irritant - Patchouli oil is an essential oil that can cause skin irritation, redness, or rashes, especially on sensitive baby skin or when used undiluted.
Confidence: MEDIUM
aqua
⚠️5/10
Aqua is water, a common solvent in baby shampoos and bodywashes, very safe for topical use on 2-5 year olds with no known risks.
Confidence: HIGH
eau
⚠️5/10
Eau is water in French and is safe as a solvent in baby shampoos and bodywashes for ages 2-5 years
Confidence: HIGH
parfum
⚠️5/10
Parfum is a fragrance blend that can cause skin irritation or allergies in sensitive children aged 2-5. It is common in shampoos and bodywashes for scent.
Confidence: HIGH
patchouli oil
⚠️5/10
Patchouli oil is a natural essential oil with potential skin sensitization risk in young children. Use with caution in topical baby products like shampoo and bodywash.
Confidence: HIGH
cocamidopropyl betaine
⚠️4/10
For 2–5 year olds (preschool children), this ingredient is usually okay when it’s in products you rinse off, like kids’ shampoos and body washes. A small number of children can get skin irritation or an allergic reaction.
Immune system - Cosmetic safety reviews (Cosmetic Ingredient Review and draft safety reports) report limited evidence that cocamidopropyl betaine can sensitize skin or trigger allergic reactions. That means it can affect the immune system in some people, especially those with sensitive skin.
Irritant - Industry safety assessments note limited evidence of skin sensitization and explicitly warn the ingredient may be unsafe in products left on the skin (not rinsed off). This shows it can cause redness, itching, or irritation for some users.
Eczema - Safety panels and reports observed cases of sensitization and recommend limits on use and product types. Because it can provoke skin reactions, it may trigger or worsen eczema in sensitive children.
Cancer - Regulatory and industry reviews flag contamination concerns for this ingredient, including nitrosamines and related amines. Nitrosamines are known to be carcinogenic, so impurity risks raise a cancer concern unless impurities are controlled as industry reviewers recommend.
Banned - Expert panels and tentative regulatory reports recommend use, concentration, and manufacturing restrictions for this ingredient and note it is unsafe in some product types (leave-on). While not universally banned, it is subject to regulatory or industry limits in some contexts.
Environmental - A national environmental agency (Environment Canada) flagged this ingredient as a suspected environmental toxin, indicating possible harm to ecosystems if released into the environment.
Confidence: HIGH
sodium laureth sulfate
⚠️4/10
For toddlers and preschoolers (2-5 years), this foaming ingredient is generally okay in rinse-off products like shampoos and washes but can irritate sensitive skin or eyes. There are also concerns about small amounts of manufacturing impurities that some safety reviews point out.
Irritant - A formal safety review (Cosmetic Ingredient Review) found strong evidence that this ingredient can irritate skin, eyes, and lungs in people. That means babies or children may get redness, stinging, or sore eyes if exposed.
Organ Risk - A government health assessment (Environment Canada) classifies this ingredient as likely to be harmful to body organs with a medium human-health priority. Repeated or heavy exposure could affect organs like the liver or kidneys.
Cancer - Safety checks flag the ingredient for contamination by ethylene oxide and 1,4‑dioxane. These contaminants are known cancer-linked chemicals in regulatory and safety assessments, so contamination raises a cancer concern if present.
Confidence: HIGH
citric acid
✅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
elderberry seed oil
✅2/10
Elderberry seed oil is generally safe in topical products with minor allergy risk. It is likely used for moisturizing and antioxidant properties in baby shampoo and bodywash.
No Known Risk - Elderberry seed oil is generally considered safe for topical use, with no evidence in scientific literature linking it to irritation, hormone disruption, cancer, or other health risks for babies. There are no known reports of adverse effects or regulatory restrictions for this ingredient in baby products.
Confidence: MEDIUM
peg-150 distearate
✅2/10
For preschoolers and young children (2–5 years): this ingredient is usually low risk for skin irritation when used normally, but there are concerns about possible contamination during manufacturing that can raise risk if not properly controlled.
Confidence: MEDIUM
sodium hydroxide
✅2/10
For toddlers and preschoolers (ages 2–5), this ingredient can be safe when it’s used in very small amounts and the final product is pH-balanced for skin. It is a strong chemical by itself and can irritate or burn if concentrated or not properly neutralized.
Confidence: HIGH
tetrasodium edta
✅2/10
For toddlers and young children (ages 2–5) this ingredient is generally low risk when used in regular skin or rinse-off products. The biggest issue is irritation to the skin and eyes, and it can make other ingredients soak into the skin more easily.
Confidence: MEDIUM
tocopheryl acetate
✅2/10
Usually safe for most toddlers and preschoolers when used on healthy skin in small amounts.
Confidence: HIGH
vitamin e
✅2/10
Vitamin E used on the skin of toddlers and young children (ages 2-5) is usually low risk and often helps moisturize and protect the skin. Most kids will not have problems with normal, well-made products.
Confidence: MEDIUM
ascorbic acid
✅1/10
Vitamin C is safe for topical use in children and is often used as an antioxidant in baby care products
Confidence: HIGH
cocamidopropylamine oxide
✅1/10
For toddlers and young children (2-5 years), this ingredient is generally low risk when used in rinse-off products like shampoos and body washes.
Confidence: MEDIUM
sambucus nigra seed oil
✅1/10
For children aged 2–5 (toddlers and preschoolers), elderberry seed oil is generally low risk for use on the skin. There is limited data, but available safety information shows few concerns.
No Known Risk - This ingredient is used on the skin and a reputable cosmetic ingredient safety database rated all checked concerns (cancer, allergies and immune effects, developmental/reproductive effects, and use restrictions) as low. No bans, organ- or hormone-related warnings, or higher-level hazards were identified in the available assessment. Because none of the concerns were above low, there are no known real risks for typical topical use.
Confidence: MEDIUM
sodium chloride
✅1/10
For kids aged 2–5 (toddlers and preschoolers), sodium chloride (table salt) used on the skin in normal product amounts is very low risk. It is commonly used to make solutions gentle and to adjust product thickness, and health authorities consider it safe for limited use.
No Known Risk - Regulatory reviews flag no meaningful health hazards for topical use. Food and health authorities list it as safe for limited use, and environmental assessments find it unlikely to harm organs, build up in the body, or damage wildlife. Overall expert sources rate concerns as low across cancer, allergies, development, and use restrictions.
Confidence: HIGH
vitamin c
✅1/10
Vitamin C is a common antioxidant used in baby care products like lotions and bodywash. It is very safe for topical use in 2-5 year olds with minimal irritation risk.
Confidence: HIGH
water
✅0/10
For children aged 2-5 years (toddlers and preschoolers), plain water used on the skin is very safe. Water by itself does not cause harm and is commonly the main ingredient in wipes and lotions.
No Known Risk - Regulatory reviews (Environment Canada) find plain water is not expected to be toxic, not bioaccumulative, and not an environmental toxin. Safety summaries list no concerns above a low level for organ harm, reproductive effects, or other long‑term risks for topical use, so no specific health risks are identified for use on skin.
