Ingredients Analysis (22 found)

Fragrance

🚨6/10

Fragrance can cause skin irritation or allergic reactions in young children especially in sensitive products like rash ointments. It is likely added for scent.

Confidence: HIGH

Parfum

⚠️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

Coco-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.

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

Coumarin

✅3/10

For children ages 2–5 (toddlers and young kids), coumarin is most likely to cause skin allergies or irritation. It is not generally linked to cancer in people, but it can trigger strong allergic reactions in some children.

Confidence: MEDIUM

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

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

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

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

Vanilla Planifolia Flower Extract

✅2/10

Vanilla Planifolia Flower Extract is used for fragrance and is generally safe in low concentrations in baby products

No Known Risk - Vanilla Planifolia Flower Extract is generally considered safe for topical use, with no evidence of significant health risks such as irritation, hormone disruption, or other long-term effects in babies based on current research.

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

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

Glycol Distearate

✅1/10

Confidence: HIGH

Lauroyl Myristoyl Methyl Glucamide

✅1/10

For toddlers and preschoolers (2–5 years), this ingredient is generally low risk when used in rinse-off products like kids' shampoos and body washes. Most safety checks show low concern for cancer, allergies, and developmental problems, but a European hazard label flags possible harm to organs at higher exposures, so we take a careful approach.

Confidence: HIGH

Oat Kernel Extract

✅1/10

Oat Kernel Extract is commonly used for soothing skin and is safe for topical use in baby products like shampoo and bodywash for ages 2-5 years

No Known Risk - Safety reviews by cosmetic experts (Cosmetic Ingredient Review) find this oat kernel extract safe for topical use and list only low-level concerns. There is no strong evidence of cancer, hormone, organ, or developmental harm from using it on the skin. A small number of people with oat allergy could react, and some products may have concentration limits, but for most children this ingredient is considered low risk when used as directed.

Confidence: HIGH

Avena Sativa

✅0/10

For toddlers and preschoolers (ages 2–5), oat extract is usually safe and soothing. Most kids can use it without problems.

No Known Risk - Available safety reviews note only low-level concerns (small risk of allergic reaction and some limits on how it can be used) and say the ingredient is safe for skin products when used within set limits. No higher-risk findings were identified.

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.
