Ingredients Analysis (22 found)

benzocaine
🚫9/10
For children aged 2–5 years (toddlers and preschoolers): benzocaine can be risky. High-strength benzocaine products have been linked to a rare but serious blood problem that can lower oxygen. Because of this, some countries limit or ban its use in baby and cosmetic products. It’s safer to avoid benzocaine for everyday use with 2–5 year olds unless a doctor tells you it’s needed.
Banned - Health Canada and the EU Cosmetics Directive list benzocaine as banned or unsafe for use in cosmetics. Those official bans mean regulators found reasons to restrict this ingredient in products applied to the skin.
Cancer - The International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) reports limited evidence that benzocaine may be linked to cancer. That means some studies raise concern that long‑term exposure could raise cancer risk.
Absorbed - The ingredient record flags enhanced skin absorption, and agencies (ECHA and the U.S. National Library of Medicine) note limited evidence of dermal toxicity or allergic reactions. This shows benzocaine can get through skin and enter the body, which can matter for small children.
Confidence: HIGH
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
butane
🚨7/10
Butane is a gas used as a spray propellant. For toddlers and preschoolers (2–5 years) it is not a good choice for regular skin use because it can irritate skin, eyes and lungs and is flammable. Some authorities limit how it can be used in cosmetics.
Banned - Health authorities in Canada and the EU restrict or limit the use, concentration, or manufacture of butane in cosmetics. Those government rules mean butane is not freely allowed at any level in products and may require special limits or controls.
Organ Risk - A national environmental health agency has classified butane as expected to be toxic or harmful to non-reproductive organs and listed it as a high human-health priority. That means repeated or heavy exposure could harm organs like the liver, kidneys, or lungs.
Immune system - An industry safety review found strong evidence that butane can act as a human skin toxicant or allergen. This suggests it can trigger immune reactions, like allergic skin responses, in some people.
Irritant - A cosmetic safety review reports strong evidence that butane can irritate skin, eyes, and lungs. On baby or sensitive skin this may cause redness, stinging, or rashes after contact.
Asthma - Hazard labeling and occupational guidance note lung irritation and hazards from handling butane. Breathing exposure can worsen asthma or cause breathing trouble, especially in children or sensitive people.
Confidence: HIGH
alcohol
🚨6/10
Alcohol can cause skin dryness irritation and increase absorption of other chemicals not ideal for baby skin often used as preservative or antiseptic
Confidence: HIGH
menthol
⚠️5/10
For toddlers and young children (ages 2–5), menthol can be used sometimes but with caution. It helps create a cooling feeling but can cause skin allergies and breathing or eye irritation in some kids.
Immune system - Menthol is identified as a known human allergen and flagged with strong evidence of human toxicant/allergen by regulatory bodies (EU Cosmetics Directive and the U.S. EPA). That means it can trigger allergic or immune reactions when put on the skin.
Irritant - Regulatory assessments list menthol as a human allergen/toxicant, which is linked to skin reactions like redness, stinging, or contact dermatitis—especially when applied topically to sensitive skin.
Eczema - Because menthol is a recognized human allergen (per the EU cosmetics review and U.S. EPA findings), it can trigger or worsen eczema and similar inflammatory skin conditions in susceptible people.
Confidence: MEDIUM
PEG-400 monolaurate
⚠️4/10
PEG-400 monolaurate is not a well recognized ingredient name it may be a misreading or typo of PEG-400 or monolaurate which are known but combined form is unclear

methylparaben
3/10
Methylparaben is a preservative used to stop germs from growing in creams and shampoos. For children aged 2–5 years, it’s generally low to moderately risky. There are some signs it can cause rashes in sensitive kids and some scientific and regulatory reports raise questions about small hormone-like effects. Overall, it’s usually allowed at low amounts, but using extra caution with young children is sensible.
Confidence: MEDIUM
beeswax
