Ingredients Analysis (33 found)

Amyl Cinnamal

⚠️5/10

Amyl Cinnamal is a fragrance allergen and can cause skin reactions in sensitive children likely used for scent

Irritant - Amyl Cinnamal is a known skin irritant, especially for sensitive skin such as that of babies. It can cause redness, itching, or rashes upon topical exposure.

Eczema - Because Amyl Cinnamal can trigger allergic reactions and skin irritation, it may also worsen or trigger eczema in sensitive individuals, including babies.

Confidence: HIGH

Benzyl Benzoate

⚠️5/10

For children 5 years and older this ingredient is moderately safe but can cause skin allergies. It is safer than for babies and toddlers, but some kids may get a rash or irritation.

Immune system - This chemical is listed by the EU Cosmetics Directive and by the International Fragrance Association as a known human allergen. That means it can trigger immune reactions in people who touch it, so a child could have an allergic response to a product that has this ingredient.

Irritant - Because regulators require special labeling for allergens, and industry guidance shows strong evidence of allergic responses, this ingredient can cause skin irritation such as redness and itching when used on skin.

Eczema - Regulatory and industry sources identify this ingredient as a skin allergen. That same allergen activity can trigger or make eczema and contact dermatitis worse in sensitive children.

Organ Risk - Workplace safety listings under EU GHS set limits and note that exposures must be kept low. Those restrictions exist because higher or repeated exposures raise concerns about harm from this chemical, so workplace rules show potential organ-related risk with greater exposure.

Confidence: HIGH

Fragrance

⚠️5/10

Perfume is a common ingredient in baby products for scent but can cause irritation or allergies in sensitive children aged 5 and above. Use 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

Retinyl Palmitate

⚠️5/10

Retinyl palmitate is a vitamin A derivative used for skin conditioning but may cause irritation and sensitivity in children use with caution

Irritant - Retinyl Palmitate can cause skin irritation, redness, and peeling, especially on sensitive baby skin.

Sun Burn - Retinyl Palmitate may increase skin sensitivity to sunlight, raising the risk of sunburn.

Absorbed - Retinyl Palmitate can be absorbed through the skin and enter the bloodstream.

Cancer - Some studies suggest that Retinyl Palmitate may speed up the development of skin tumors when exposed to sunlight, though evidence is mixed.

Confidence: HIGH

Benzyl Salicylate

⚠️4/10

For children aged 5 and older: benzyl salicylate is commonly used for fragrance. It can cause allergic skin reactions in some kids and has been flagged for contamination concerns (salicylic acid). Most healthy school-age children will not have a problem with occasional, small exposure, but children with sensitive skin or eczema are at higher risk.

Immune system - Multiple safety assessments list this ingredient as a known human allergen or immune toxicant (noted by the EU cosmetics rules, the U.S. EPA, and industry safety panels). That means it can cause allergic or immune reactions in people, so it is a real risk for sensitive children.

Eczema - Regulatory and industry findings show this chemical can cause skin allergy or dermatitis (noted by the EU cosmetics framework and chemical safety reviews). For babies with sensitive or atopic skin, it can trigger or make eczema and similar skin rashes worse.

Environmental - A national environmental assessment flagged this substance as a suspected environmental toxin, and contamination notes list salicylic acid as a possible impurity. That means there is concern it could harm wildlife or the environment if released.

Confidence: HIGH

Citral

⚠️4/10

For school-age children (5 years and up): citral is a fragrance that can irritate the skin or cause an allergic rash in some kids. Many children tolerate small amounts in lotions, shampoos, or soaps, but children with sensitive skin or eczema are more likely to react.

Irritant - This ingredient is classified as a skin, eye and general irritant by EU GHS hazard labels and is reported to cause irritation of skin, eyes and lungs. That means it can cause redness, stinging or sore eyes and skin reactions on sensitive baby skin.

Immune system - Regulatory sources (the EU Cosmetics Directive) and industry guidance (IFRA) list this chemical as a known human allergen or immune-system toxicant. Peer-reviewed reports also show evidence it can trigger immune reactions, so it can provoke allergic responses in some children.

Eczema - Because it is a known skin allergen and irritant (noted by EU cosmetic rules and fragrance industry reports), it can trigger or worsen eczema and similar skin conditions in people who are sensitive.

Asthma - Lung and respiratory irritation are reported in hazard listings (EU GHS), so inhaling or exposure to this ingredient could make breathing problems or asthma worse in sensitive children.

Confidence: HIGH

Citronellol

⚠️4/10

For children age 5 and older (school-aged kids), citronellol is usually okay for occasional use but it can cause allergic skin reactions in some children. Most kids won’t have a problem, but if a child has eczema, rosacea, or a history of skin allergies, they are at higher risk.

Immune system - This ingredient is flagged as a human allergen and immune-system toxicant by multiple regulatory groups. The ingredient record lists strong evidence of allergic and immune-system effects from the EU cosmetics rules, the U.S. environmental regulator, and the fragrance industry group, indicating real risk of allergic reactions in people, including children.

Irritant - Studies and regulatory notes show this chemical can cause skin irritation and dermal reactions. European chemical reviewers and fragrance industry guidance list dermal toxicity or allergy concerns, so it can cause redness, itching, or rashes on sensitive baby skin.

Eczema - Because it is a known skin allergen with documented dermal reactions in humans, this ingredient can trigger or worsen eczema and similar skin conditions, per the same EU and chemical agency findings referenced in the ingredient record.

Asthma - The ingredient is shown to be an allergen and immune irritant in human evidence noted by regulators. Respiratory allergy and worsened breathing (including asthma) can occur when people are sensitive to strong fragrance allergens like this one.

Cancer - The ingredient record flags a contamination concern with formaldehyde. Formaldehyde is a well-known carcinogen, so possible contamination raises a cancer-related safety concern until product purity is confirmed.

Confidence: HIGH

Linalool

⚠️4/10

For school-age children (5+ years), linalool can usually be used safely in small amounts, but it can cause skin allergy or irritation in some kids. The biggest issue seen is allergic reactions, not cancer or long-term harm.

Immune system - This ingredient is listed as a known human allergen and a possible immune-system toxicant in official cosmetic safety reviews (European cosmetics rules) and is flagged with strong evidence by the U.S. regulator. That means it can trigger allergic reactions or immune responses in some children.

Irritant - Official cosmetic guidance requires labeling for this ingredient because it can cause allergic skin reactions. The safety reviews identify it as a human allergen, so it can cause redness, itching, or rashes on sensitive baby skin.

Eczema - Because this ingredient is a known allergen and can provoke skin reactions, it may trigger or make eczema and similar skin conditions worse in susceptible children.

Cancer - A contamination concern was specifically flagged for formaldehyde being associated with this ingredient. Formaldehyde is recognized in safety summaries as a harmful contaminant linked to cancer risk, so contamination raises a cancer-related concern.
