Ingredients Analysis (9 found)

Golden Seal

🚨6/10

Golden Seal contains berberine which can cause skin irritation and sensitization. It is not commonly used in baby products and poses moderate risk for topical use on children over 5 years.

Irritant - Goldenseal can cause skin irritation, especially on sensitive skin, and there are reports of contact dermatitis with topical use.

Confidence: HIGH

Comfrey Root

⚠️5/10

For children 5 years and older, comfrey root is a moderate concern. It can carry plant toxins that have been linked to liver harm and cancer in studies. It’s not a safe everyday ingredient for kids.

Cancer - Animal and laboratory studies show comfrey (and extracts) can cause tumors and mutations, and a U.S. federal health agency has advised removing comfrey products because of possible cancer risk. This evidence means comfrey root is linked to cancer in long-term tests.

Organ Risk - There are multiple human case reports of serious liver damage (hepatic veno-occlusive disease) after using comfrey, and health authorities list comfrey as a known human liver toxicant. That makes liver harm a real risk if this root is used.

Absorbed - The ingredient can be absorbed through skin and the product notes enhanced skin absorption. Because toxic pyrrolizidine alkaloids are present, topically applying comfrey can let harmful compounds into the body.

Long-Term Risk - Studies show tumor formation at low doses and cases of liver disease after exposure, and health authorities have warned about removal from the market—together this points to risks that can appear after repeated or long-term use.

Banned - A U.S. federal health authority has advised manufacturers to remove comfrey products from the market, and some product-approval programs restrict its use—meaning it is banned or heavily restricted in some places.

Confidence: HIGH

natural fragrance

⚠️5/10

Natural Fragrance can contain allergens and irritants. For 5 plus years old topical use caution is advised due to potential skin sensitivity. Common in baby care products.

Irritant - Natural fragrance blends can contain essential oils and plant extracts that are known skin irritants, especially for sensitive baby skin.

Eczema - Fragrances, including those labeled as 'natural,' are common triggers for eczema flare-ups in infants and children.

Asthma - Fragrance ingredients, even if natural, can release volatile compounds that may trigger or worsen asthma symptoms in sensitive children.

Confidence: HIGH

Lavender Oil

✅3/10

For school-age children (5 years and older), small amounts of lavender oil in products made for kids are usually okay. The strongest concerns come from a few reports that linked lavender oil to hormonal changes in some young children and from occasional skin allergies.

Confidence: MEDIUM

Orange Oil

✅3/10

Orange oil is generally safe for children over 5 in topical products but may cause mild irritation or allergies in sensitive skin

Confidence: HIGH

Aloe Vera

✅1/10

Organic Aloe Vera is widely used in baby products for soothing and moisturizing and is considered very safe for topical use in children over 5 years

Confidence: HIGH

Arrowroot

✅1/10

Maranta arundinacea is arrowroot, a natural starch used as a thickener and absorbent in topical products. It is very safe for babies 5 years and older.

No Known Risk - Arrowroot is a natural starch commonly used in baby powders and topical products. Current research and clinical experience show it is non-irritating, non-sensitizing, and not linked to any known health risks for babies when used topically.

Confidence: HIGH

Kaolin Clay

✅1/10

For children 5 years and older (school-age kids and older), kaolin clay used on the skin is usually safe. It’s a gentle, natural clay that soaks up moisture and can calm irritated skin.

No Known Risk - Government safety reviews find kaolin is not expected to be harmful to organs, is a low human-health priority, does not build up in the body, and is not considered an environmental toxin. Some product verification programs do require extra proof before allowing it, but current safety assessments do not identify real health risks for children from topical use.

Confidence: HIGH

Slippery Elm

✅1/10

Slippery Elm is a natural plant extract used for soothing skin and mucous membranes. It is generally safe for topical use in children over 5 years.

No Known Risk - Slippery Elm is generally considered safe for topical use, with no evidence in scientific literature linking it to irritation, hormone disruption, cancer, or other health risks in babies. There are no known reports of adverse effects when used on intact skin, and it is not banned or restricted in any country for topical use. However, as with any botanical, rare allergic reactions are possible, but these are not well-documented or specific to this ingredient.
