Ingredients Analysis (9 found)

propylparaben
🚨6/10
For children aged 2–5 years, propylparaben is not the safest choice. It can sometimes cause skin reactions and some authorities and studies raise concerns about hormone-like effects. Overall risk for this age group is lower than for babies, but it's still best to be cautious.
Confuse Hormones - Lab and wildlife studies show propylparaben can act like weak estrogen, and major regulators have flagged it as an endocrine disruptor. That means it can mimic hormones and confuse normal body signals in children.
Hormones - Because regulators and multiple studies identify propylparaben as an endocrine disruptor, it may interfere with natural hormone development in babies and young children.
Fertility - Animal studies found effects on the male reproductive system at low doses, and a European chemicals agency lists possible reproductive or developmental harm. This means it may affect future fertility or reproductive development.
Irritant - Human reports and safety reviews show propylparaben can cause contact reactions like hives or skin irritation. That makes it a real risk for redness, itching, or rashes on sensitive baby skin.
Eczema - There is documented evidence of contact urticaria and allergic skin reactions linked to propylparaben, so it can trigger or worsen eczema in children who are sensitive.
Immune system - Reviews and human case reports give moderate evidence that propylparaben can act as an immune toxicant or allergen, meaning it can trigger immune reactions in some people.
Banned - Some countries and expert panels restrict or limit cosmetic use of propylparaben (for example, specific bans or limits for products for very young children and concentration limits set by safety committees).
Environmental - Studies in fish and other tests show propylparaben can affect wildlife and the environment, and regulatory reviews have noted possible environmental disruption.
Confidence: HIGH
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
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
vitamin A palmitate
✅2/10
Vitamin A Palmitate is generally safe in low concentrations for topical use in children and is used as an antioxidant
Confidence: HIGH
Petrolatum
✅1/10
For children aged 2-5 (toddlers and preschoolers), mineral oil used occasionally on normal skin is generally low risk. It works as a moisturizer and skin protectant.
Confidence: MEDIUM
corn 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
lanolin
✅1/10
Lanolin is generally safe for topical use in children 2-5 years old but may cause rare allergic reactions. Used as a moisturizer and skin protectant.
Confidence: HIGH
vitamin D
✅1/10
Vitamin D used on the skin is usually safe for toddlers and young children (2–5 years) when it’s in low-strength products made for kids. It isn’t normally a cancer or allergy concern, but some countries limit how it can be used in cosmetics.
Confidence: HIGH
mineral oil
✅1/10
Mineral oil is widely used in baby products as a skin protectant and moisturizer with minimal risk for ages 2-5 years
Confidence: HIGH
