Ingredients Analysis (25 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
Citrus Grandis Grapefruit Peel Oil
⚠️5/10
Citrus Paradisi Peel Oil is grapefruit peel oil which can cause skin irritation and photosensitivity in young children likely used for fragrance
Irritant - Grapefruit peel oil contains limonene and other citrus compounds that can cause skin irritation, especially on sensitive baby skin.
Sun Burn - Grapefruit peel oil contains furanocoumarins, which can increase photosensitivity and the risk of sunburn when applied topically.
Confidence: HIGH
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
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.

It is not expected to harm organs, does not appear to build up in the body or the environment, and common concerns (cancer, allergies, reproductive effects) were rated low. There are some industry notes about safe use levels and a few data gaps, but no higher-level health risks were identified.
Confidence: HIGH

U.S. food regulators say it is allowed for some food uses, a cosmetic safety panel notes allowed limits and some data gaps but does not show hazards at normal use, and a national environment agency finds it unlikely to harm organs, build up in the body, or persist in the environment. Because no health concern was reported above low, there are no specific risks identified for typical topical use.
Confidence: HIGH

No Known Risk - Available safety reviews and government assessments do not identify any health hazards above a low level for skin use. Experts classify it as unlikely to harm organs, unlikely to persist or build up in the body, and not expected to be an environmental toxin. Industry safety panels note limits on how much can be used and say more data would help, but no specific child health risks were found.
Confidence: HIGH
Ananas Sativus Pineapple Fruit Extract
✅1/10
For kids aged 2–5 (toddlers, preschoolers), pineapple fruit extract is generally safe in normal, low‑concentration skin products. There are no major long‑term risks flagged in the provided ingredient review data. The most likely issue is mild skin irritation or, rarely, an allergic reaction in a child who is sensitive to pineapple.
No Known Risk - Available safety reviews for topical pineapple fruit extract show only low-level concerns for cancer, allergies/immunity, and reproductive or developmental effects. There are no ingredient-specific warnings, bans, or higher-level risk findings reported for its use on the skin, so no real health risks were identified beyond the small chance of a mild skin reaction in sensitive people.
