Ingredients Analysis (9 found)

Arnica Montana

⚠️4/10

For children aged 5 years and older, arnica can help with minor bumps and bruises but has a real chance of causing a skin allergy or irritation in some kids. It is not a high overall risk for cancer or development, but it can cause skin reactions.

Irritant - Peer-reviewed studies report strong evidence that Arnica montana can act as a human skin toxicant or allergen. That means it can cause skin redness, itching, or rashes when used on the skin. A cosmetic ingredient review also notes there is not enough safety data, so reactions may be hard to predict.

Immune system - Scientific literature identifies Arnica montana as an allergen that triggers immune responses in people. This can lead to allergic reactions or sensitization, which is a real immune risk for babies and children who have sensitive skin.

Eczema - Because Arnica montana is reported to be a skin allergen, it can trigger or make eczema and similar skin conditions worse in sensitive individuals. Peer-reviewed evidence links it to skin allergy that may worsen existing eczema.

It is approved for limited use in food, classified as not expected to be toxic and a low human-health priority, and not suspected to be an environmental toxin.
