Ingredients Analysis (19 found)

CI 47005 D C Yellow No 10

⚠️5/10

For preschool children (2-5 years) this yellow cosmetic dye is not highly dangerous but deserves caution. It is allowed in some cosmetics but regulators limit certain uses, and there are reports of impurities and occasional allergic or nervous-system issues in studies.

Immune system - A scientific re-evaluation report and case studies found people had immune or allergic reactions to this dye. That report specifically notes human cases of allergic or immune effects, so it can trigger immune responses in some users.

Eczema - Human case reports in the scientific re-evaluation noted allergic skin reactions. That means this ingredient can worsen or trigger eczema and related rashes in sensitive children.

Brain Development - Case studies and a scientific opinion report describe possible nervous-system effects in people exposed to this dye. Because of those reports, there is concern about effects on the developing brain with exposure.

Organ Risk - The ingredient record flags contamination concerns including heavy metals and industrial contaminants (for example cadmium and aniline). These contaminants are known to harm organs like the liver and kidneys with repeated exposure, so contaminated batches pose organ risk.

Absorbed - This color is used on skin and the ingredient notes call out enhanced skin absorption. That means some of the chemical (and any contaminants) can get through baby or child skin and enter the body.

Banned - Regulators restrict how this color can be used. For example, a major national regulator does not approve it for cosmetics around the eyes and enforces concentration/usage limits. Those official rules mean it is restricted or banned for certain uses.

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

Benzyl Alcohol

✅3/10

For children aged 2–5 years (toddlers and preschoolers), benzyl alcohol in small amounts in skin products is usually okay, but it can cause allergic reactions or irritation in some kids. Children with sensitive skin or eczema are more likely to react.

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

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 Flower 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.

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: 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

Sorbic Acid

✅2/10

For toddlers and young children (2-5 years), sorbic acid is usually low risk when used in small amounts in skin products. It helps stop germs from growing, but some children can get skin sensitivity or an allergic rash.

Confidence: MEDIUM

German Chamomile Extract

✅2/10

For preschoolers (ages 2-5) chamomile extract is usually safe on the skin and is commonly used to calm dryness or redness. Serious risks are uncommon but a small number of people can be sensitive to it.

No Known Risk - Reviews by cosmetic safety experts and regulatory assessments found only limited or mixed information and did not identify clear hazards for topical use. A few small human case reports and a clinical review noted possible, but unclear, effects; these were inconclusive and not strong enough to show a real risk. Because the evidence is weak and inconsistent, no health risks above low were identified for this ingredient.

Confidence: MEDIUM

Matricaria Flower

✅2/10

Matricaria Flower is chamomile known for soothing properties and is generally safe in topical baby products but may cause mild allergies in sensitive children

Confidence: HIGH

Benzoic Acid

✅1/10

For 2–5 year olds (toddlers and preschoolers), benzoic acid used at the low levels normally found in skin creams and lotions is usually low risk. It is a common preservative and is not known to cause cancer or major developmental harms at those uses. However, some countries and safety reviewers set limits on how it is used.

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

Glycerin

✅1/10

For toddlers and young children (2–5 years old), glycerin used in lotions and wipes is generally safe. It helps skin hold moisture and rarely causes harm.

Confidence: HIGH

Guar Hydroxypropyltrimonum Chloride

✅1/10

This ingredient is a mild conditioner used in shampoos and washes and is generally considered low risk for toddlers and preschoolers (2-5 years). Most experts say it is safe when used in normal rinse-off products.

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.
