Ingredients Analysis (14 found)

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

Chlorhexidine Digluconate

⚠️4/10

For children 5 years and older (school-aged kids, older children and teens): this ingredient is commonly used to clean skin and reduce germs. Most children tolerate it, but some can get skin irritation or allergic reactions. The ingredient is more concerning for younger babies, so being cautious with older children is still important.

Immune system - There is strong evidence this ingredient can cause allergic and immune reactions in people. An asthmagen exposures compilation, peer-reviewed studies, and a European chemical agency review all list immune or allergy concerns for this chemical.

Asthma - This chemical appears on an asthmagen list, meaning it can trigger or worsen breathing problems and asthma in some people when they are exposed.

Irritant - Peer-reviewed studies and regulatory reviews report strong evidence that this substance can irritate skin and act as a skin allergen, so it may cause redness, itching, or rashes on sensitive skin.

Eczema - Because it is documented as a skin allergen in the scientific literature, it can trigger or make eczema and similar skin conditions worse for some children.

Banned - Use of this ingredient is restricted by national authorities: Health Canada and Japan’s health ministry limit its use or concentration in cosmetics, and expert safety panels recommend concentration limits.

Builds Up - Some reviews raise concerns that the chemical may be persistent or bioaccumulative and could build up with repeated exposure; an organohalogen pollutants review flagged persistence and bioaccumulation as a moderate concern.

Environmental - There are mixed regulatory findings, but at least one authoritative review flags persistence and bioaccumulation as an environmental concern, so the ingredient may pose environmental risks in some contexts.

Confidence: HIGH

Lactic Acid

✅3/10

For kids age 5 and up, lactic acid in small amounts is usually okay in everyday washes and mild lotions. It can irritate skin or make skin more likely to burn in strong or concentrated products, so those should be avoided for children.

Confidence: HIGH

Lavandula Angustifolia Oil

Confidence: HIGH

Phenoxyethanol

✅2/10

For school-age children (ages 5 and up), phenoxyethanol is commonly used as a preservative and is usually low risk when products contain it at low concentrations (around 1% or less). The biggest concern is irritation — some kids may get redness, stinging, or eye irritation.

Confidence: HIGH

Sodium Benzoate

✅2/10

For school-age kids (5 years and up), sodium benzoate is usually safe in the small amounts used in lotions, wipes and creams. It helps stop bacteria and mold.

Disodium Cocoamphodiacetate

✅1/10

For children 5 years and older (school-age children, kids, teens), this ingredient is generally low risk. It is a gentle cleansing ingredient commonly used in wash-off products like gentle shampoos, body washes, and wipes. The main concern is mild irritation to skin or eyes in some cases.

No Known Risk - Government and cosmetic safety reviewers evaluated this ingredient and did not find evidence of serious harms for normal topical use. A Canadian regulator said it is not expected to be toxic or to build up in the body. European and industry reviewers noted only limited, low evidence for mild skin or eye irritation. No clear links were found to cancer, reproductive harm, organ damage, or environmental toxicity. Because the reported concerns are low or limited, there are no known significant risks for typical use on skin.

Confidence: HIGH

Glycerin

✅1/10

For children 5 years and older (kids, school-age children, teens), glycerin is usually safe when used in regular lotions, cleansers or wipes. It helps skin hold on to moisture and is not linked to major health risks.

✅1/10

For children aged 5 and up (school-aged kids and older children), this root extract is considered low risk for the main health concerns in the provided data. It is generally safe for skin use when used normally.

No Known Risk - For topical use, available safety reviews report only low-level concerns (for cancer, allergies/immunity, and reproductive effects) and no use restrictions. That means there are no clear or higher-than-low risks identified for children from normal skin use. Data are limited, but current assessments do not show real hazards for baby or child use.

Confidence: MEDIUM

Vitex Negundo Extract

✅1/10

Safe for most school‑age kids (5+ years) when used on the skin in normal amounts. Overall risk is very low.

Confidence: HIGH

Water

✅0/10

For kids aged 5 and up (school-age children, children, older kids), water used on the skin is very safe. It’s the basic ingredient in cleansers, lotions and wipes and carries very low health concern when clean and used in normal products.

No Known Risk - Regulatory reviews (Environment Canada) find plain water is not expected to be toxic, not bioaccumulative, and not an environmental toxin. Safety summaries list no concerns above a low level for organ harm, reproductive effects, or other long‑term risks for topical use, so no specific health risks are identified for use on skin.
