Ingredients Analysis (23 found)

hydrofluorocarbon 152a
🚫8/10
For toddlers and preschoolers (age 2–5), this ingredient is not recommended. It’s a propellant gas that can be inhaled or absorbed through skin and has been linked in reports to developmental, immune, hormone, and possible cancer concerns. Some authorities restrict or ban its use in cosmetics.
Banned - State product-safety rules list this chemical as banned or unsafe for use in cosmetics, so governments have restricted its use.
Forever Chemical - This compound belongs to a class of persistent fluorinated chemicals that experts flag as a group of long-lived 'forever' chemicals.
Builds Up - Toxicology reviews report that this chemical is persistent and can accumulate in people and wildlife over time.
Breast Milk - Health reviews note persistence and accumulation in humans, which means it can be found in body tissues and may pass into breast milk.
Immune system - A toxicological review identifies this chemical as a known human immune toxicant or allergen, so it can harm or change immune responses.
Fertility - Authoritative health profiles list this chemical as a known human reproductive and developmental toxin, so it can affect fertility and reproduction.
Brain Development - Scientific toxicology sources call this a developmental toxin in people, which can include effects on early growth and brain development.
Hormones - A toxicology assessment flags this chemical as a possible disruptor of the thyroid and other hormone systems, which can change normal hormonal development.
Confuse Hormones - Experts note this chemical may act like or interfere with natural hormones (a class-wide concern), so it can confuse the body's chemical signals.
Organ Risk - Health reviews and regulatory assessments report possible liver and cardiovascular toxicity in humans or animals after exposure.
Cancer - Toxicology documents list this chemical as a possible human carcinogen based on available evidence.
Absorbed - Product safety notes indicate enhanced skin absorption, so this chemical can get through skin and reach the body.
Environmental - Chemical-class reviews and toxicology profiles show persistence and bioaccumulation, meaning it can harm the environment and wildlife over time.
Long-Term Risk - Because the chemical is persistent, bioaccumulative, and linked to cancer, organ harm, and reproductive effects, it poses risks from long-term exposure.
Confidence: HIGH
alcohol denat.
🚨6/10
For toddlers and preschoolers (ages 2–5), denatured alcohol can dry and irritate delicate skin and may let other ingredients soak in more easily. While cancer and reproductive risks are considered low, there are some official safety concerns and gaps in the data, so extra care is wise.
Organ Risk - A government health agency reviewed this chemical and listed it as likely to be toxic or harmful to human health and gave it a medium concern for people. That means repeated or heavy exposure could hurt organs (for example liver or lungs) if someone gets enough of it over time.
Absorbed - Lab and animal studies show denatured alcohol can act as a penetration enhancer. In other words, it can help other chemicals pass through skin more easily, and it can increase how much gets into the body when used on skin (shown in mouse and rat studies). This raises the chance of chemicals getting into a baby’s bloodstream when products contain it.
Long-Term Risk - Regulators and industry reviews note this ingredient is used in many places (including some food uses) and that safety assessments rely on limits and have data gaps. Because people can meet this chemical from several products and sources, small exposures can add up over time and increase long-term risk.
Confidence: HIGH
benzethonium chloride
⚠️5/10
For toddlers and young children (ages 2–5), benzethonium chloride has some reasons for caution. It can irritate skin, cause allergic reactions in some people, and is limited or restricted in some countries. At low levels in rinse-off products it may be acceptable, but I would avoid it in leave-on creams or lotions for young kids.
Banned - This ingredient faces formal limits in some countries. Health Canada and Japan impose restrictions or prohibitions for certain cosmetic uses, and an industry safety panel recommends safe concentration limits depending on where the product is applied. These regulatory actions mean some uses are limited by officials and safety reviewers.
Fertility - Animal studies on related quaternary ammonium compounds showed reduced fertility and reproductive effects in mice at moderate doses. These peer‑reviewed laboratory studies raise real concerns about effects on reproductive systems in mammals.
Hormones - Laboratory research has linked quaternary ammonium compounds like this one to interference with hormone‑related biology (for example, blocking steps in cholesterol and steroid production). That kind of interference is a form of endocrine disruption and can change how hormones work.
Immune system - Reviews and human exposure reports note limited but real evidence of immune and allergic reactions, including respiratory sensitivities, after exposure to quaternary ammonium compounds. That means some people may have allergy or immune responses to products containing this ingredient.
Asthma - There is limited human and review evidence that exposure to this class of disinfectant chemicals can affect the airways and worsen breathing issues. Health and toxicology reports flagged respiratory effects after exposure, so people with asthma or breathing problems may be more at risk.
Organ Risk - Some sources describe possible non‑reproductive organ toxic effects from exposure to quaternary ammonium compounds, while government reviews have given mixed findings. Because there is evidence pointing to potential organ toxicity in people and animals, repeated or high exposures could harm organs like the liver or lungs.
Confidence: MEDIUM
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.
