Ingredients Analysis (19 found)

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
Hexyl Cinnamal
⚠️5/10
For children ages 2-5 (toddlers, preschoolers): this ingredient can cause allergic rashes or irritation on the skin. Many children will not react, but those with sensitive skin or eczema are more likely to have a problem.
Immune system - This ingredient is flagged as an allergen. The EU cosmetics rules list it as a known human allergen, and the European Chemicals Agency shows limited but real evidence of skin and immune system reactions. Because the data mark allergies as a high concern, people (including children) with sensitive skin could get rashes or other allergic responses.
Hormones - Animal studies reviewed by the U.S. EPA found signs of endocrine disruption at moderate doses. That means the chemical can change normal hormone signals in the body, which could be important for growing children even if human evidence is limited.
Organ Risk - The European Chemicals Agency has classified this ingredient as toxic or harmful in some assessments for non-reproductive organs. That suggests repeated or high exposure could hurt organs (for example liver, lungs, or kidneys) even though some other agencies view the risk differently.
Confidence: HIGH
CI 15985 FD&C Yellow No 6
⚠️5/10
Yellow 6 is a synthetic dye with some allergy risk and limited safety data for baby skin likely used for color
Irritant - Yellow 6 (Sunset Yellow FCF) has been reported to cause skin irritation in sensitive individuals, especially with topical exposure.
Cancer - Some studies have raised concerns about the potential carcinogenicity of Yellow 6, with animal studies showing tumor formation at high doses, though evidence in humans is limited.
Banned - Yellow 6 is banned or restricted in some countries due to health concerns, including Norway and Finland in the past.
Confidence: MEDIUM
Parfum 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
Limonene
⚠️4/10
For toddlers and preschoolers (2–5 years): limonene can cause skin redness, itching, or rashes in sensitive children. Many children tolerate small amounts, but because limonene can oxidize and become a stronger allergen, it’s safer to be careful.
Immune system - This ingredient is listed as a known human allergen and has multiple regulatory flags for immune-system effects (EU cosmetics and hazard labeling rules, and US regulatory listings). That means it can trigger allergic reactions or other immune effects in some people, including children.
Eczema - Experts and regulatory lists identify this chemical as a skin allergen and sensitizer (EU hazard and cosmetics notices). For babies or kids with sensitive skin or a history of eczema, it can trigger or worsen rash and contact dermatitis.
Irritant - Hazard classifications name this ingredient as a skin and general irritant (EU GHS hazard codes). It can cause redness, stinging, or eye and lung irritation if it touches or is breathed in.
Cancer - The ingredient record flags contamination concerns with formaldehyde. Formaldehyde is classified as a carcinogen by international cancer authorities, so contamination raises a potential cancer-related risk if present.
Builds Up - Some environmental assessments and peer-reviewed studies list this chemical as persistent and bioaccumulative in wildlife (OSPAR and scientific literature), meaning it can build up in the environment and animals over time.
Environmental - Regulatory hazard listings and ecological reviews note possible harm to wildlife and the environment (EU hazard codes and environmental assessments). This means its release or repeated use can be harmful to ecosystems.
Confidence: HIGH
Linalool
⚠️4/10
Linalool is a scent ingredient used in perfumes and many skin products. For toddlers and preschoolers (2–5 years), it can cause skin allergies in some children, so it should be used with care.
Immune system - This ingredient is listed as a known human allergen and a possible immune-system toxicant in official cosmetic safety reviews (European cosmetics rules) and is flagged with strong evidence by the U.S. regulator. That means it can trigger allergic reactions or immune responses in some children.
Irritant - Official cosmetic guidance requires labeling for this ingredient because it can cause allergic skin reactions. The safety reviews identify it as a human allergen, so it can cause redness, itching, or rashes on sensitive baby skin.
Eczema - Because this ingredient is a known allergen and can provoke skin reactions, it may trigger or make eczema and similar skin conditions worse in susceptible children.
Cancer - A contamination concern was specifically flagged for formaldehyde being associated with this ingredient. Formaldehyde is recognized in safety summaries as a harmful contaminant linked to cancer risk, so contamination raises a cancer-related concern.
Confidence: HIGH
Mel Honey
⚠️4/10
Mel Honey is not a recognized ingredient name it may be a misreading or typo possibly referring to honey which has known allergy risks in topical use for young children
Confidence: HIGH
Lauramidopropyl Betaine
✅3/10
For toddlers and young children (2-5 years), this is usually safe when used in rinse-off products like shampoo or body wash. It’s a mild soap-like ingredient and is unlikely to cause long-term harm, but a small number of people can be sensitive to it and there are some manufacturing impurity concerns.
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
Sodium Trideceth Sulfate
✅3/10
For toddlers and preschoolers (2–5 years), this ingredient used in cleansers is generally low risk when rinsed off. The main worry is that it can sometimes carry tiny amounts of manufacturing contaminants (ethylene oxide and 1,4‑dioxane).
Confidence: MEDIUM
Chamomilla Recutita Extract
✅2/10
For kids ages 2 to 5 (toddlers and preschoolers), chamomile flower extract used on the skin is usually safe and often used to calm mild irritation. Only a small number of people can get a skin allergy to it.
Confidence: MEDIUM
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
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
Propanediol
✅2/10
For children aged 2–5 years (toddlers and preschoolers), propanediol is generally low risk when used in normal amounts in creams, lotions or wipes. However, it can sometimes cause skin irritation and may help other ingredients pass through the skin more easily, so it needs a little extra caution with young children.
Confidence: MEDIUM
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
Caramel
✅1/10
Caramel is a colorant often used for appearance and is considered safe for topical use in children
No Known Risk - Caramel, when used topically, is generally considered safe and does not have evidence linking it to skin irritation, hormone disruption, cancer, or other health risks in babies. There are no studies or regulatory warnings indicating topical caramel poses a risk to infants or children.
Confidence: HIGH
Polyquaternium-11
✅1/10
For children 2–5 years old (toddlers and preschoolers), this ingredient is generally considered low risk when used on the skin in normal cosmetic or hair products. It is a conditioning polymer that helps products feel smooth and is not linked to major health problems in current safety reviews.
No Known Risk - A government review found this ingredient is not expected to be toxic to organs, and it is not likely to build up in the body or harm the environment. An industry safety panel notes limits on how it is used and some gaps in data, but no higher-level health concerns (like cancer, hormone or developmental risks) were identified. Based on those reviews, there are no known health risks above low concern.
Confidence: MEDIUM
Chamomilla Recutita Flower Extract
✅1/10
Chamomilla Recutita Flower Extract is commonly used for its soothing properties in baby products like shampoos and bodywashes and is very safe for 2-5 year olds.
No Known Risk - Major safety reviews find only low or unclear concerns. A cosmetic safety panel says this chamomile extract is generally safe in products when used with limits, and the European chemicals agency notes only limited evidence of skin allergy. A few small human studies and a review reported unclear (equivocal) findings for nerve or pregnancy effects, but the data are not strong. No health concern here is rated above low.
Confidence: HIGH
Aqua 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.
