Ingredients Analysis (5 found)

Lavender Oil

⚠️4/10

For children aged 2–5 years (toddlers and preschoolers), lavender oil is usually low risk but not necessary. It can sometimes irritate the skin or, rarely, be linked to hormone-related concerns in children in case reports.

Hormones - There are medical case reports and laboratory studies that link topical lavender oil to hormone changes in children, including early breast development and small breast tissue in boys. These findings show the oil can affect normal hormone development in young children.

Confuse Hormones - Research studies found that lavender oil can act like estrogen in lab tests and in reported clinical cases. That means the oil may mimic or confuse the body’s natural hormone signals.

Absorbed - Cases of hormone effects after skin use mean the oil can get through skin and reach the body. Clinical reports showing systemic effects support that topical lavender oil can be absorbed into the bloodstream.

Confidence: HIGH

Cod Liver Oil

✅1/10

For kids aged 2-5 (toddlers and preschoolers), cod liver oil used on the skin is generally low risk. It’s a fish oil used in some moisturizers. Serious problems are uncommon, but some children can get skin irritation or an allergic reaction.

No Known Risk - Available safety notes rate cancer, allergy, reproductive, and use-restriction concerns as low for topical use. Environment Canada classifies cod liver oil as not expected to be toxic, a low human-health priority, and not suspected to be an environmental toxin. Taken together, these findings show no identified health risks for topical use.
