Ingredients Analysis (6 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

Vitamin A

⚠️4/10

Moderate concern. Topical vitamin A forms can cause skin irritation and photosensitivity in young children, and may be present as retinol or retinyl esters as antioxidants or skin conditioners

Absorbed - Topical vitamin A (retinoids) can be absorbed through the skin, especially in infants with thinner skin barrier.

Organ Risk - Excessive topical vitamin A can potentially cause toxicity, affecting organs such as the liver, especially with repeated use or in high concentrations.

Long-Term Risk - Chronic exposure to high levels of vitamin A, even topically, may lead to cumulative toxicity and long-term health effects.
