Ingredients Analysis (15 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

Phenoxyethanol

✅3/10

For toddlers and young children (2–5 years): phenoxyethanol is commonly used as a preservative and is usually okay when products keep it at low levels (around 1% or less). The main risk is that it can irritate skin, eyes, or cause redness for some children.

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

Ethylhexylglycerin

✅2/10

For toddlers and preschoolers (ages 2-5): usually safe in small amounts in lotions, creams, and wipes. Most children will not have a problem, but a few people can get skin irritation or an allergic rash.

Confidence: HIGH

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

Carbomer

✅1/10

For toddlers and young children (2-5 years) carbomer is usually safe when used on the skin. It is a thickener found in many lotions and wipes. Long-term health risks are not expected, but there are worries about possible contamination and occasional skin or eye irritation.

Confidence: MEDIUM

✅1/10

For toddlers and preschoolers (2–5 years), cetyl alcohol is usually safe when used on normal, unbroken skin. It helps moisturize and thicken creams. Reactions are uncommon but possible.

Confidence: HIGH

Cocoglycerides

✅1/10

For toddlers and young children (2–5 years), cocoglycerides are generally safe when used on the skin. They act as moisturizers and are considered low risk for serious health problems.

No Known Risk - Independent safety reviews and ingredient assessments show only low-level concerns and do not identify real harms for normal topical use.

Based on available information, there are no known health risks for typical use on skin.

Confidence: HIGH

Glycerin

✅1/10

No Known Risk - Regulatory safety reviews and lab tests find no health risks above a low level for normal topical use.

Because no concern was rated above low, there are no real, confirmed risks for typical use on children’s skin.

Confidence: HIGH

p-Anisic Acid

✅1/10

Confidence: HIGH

Zea Mays Starch

✅1/10

Zea Mays Starch is corn starch used as an absorbent and thickener in baby products and is considered very safe for topical use

No Known Risk - Corn starch is widely used in baby powders and topical products, and current research does not show any significant health risks when used on intact skin. It is generally considered safe for topical use on babies, with no evidence linking it to irritation, hormone disruption, cancer, or other long-term health effects. However, care should be taken to avoid inhalation of powders, but for topical use, there are no known risks.

Confidence: HIGH
