Ingredients Analysis (23 found)

Lemon Peel Oil

⚠️4/10

Citrus Limon Peel Oil can cause skin irritation or sensitization especially in young children and is often used for fragrance

Irritant - Lemon peel oil contains limonene and citral, which are known skin irritants, especially for sensitive baby skin.

Eczema - Citrus oils like lemon peel oil can trigger or worsen eczema in sensitive individuals, including babies.

Sun Burn - Lemon peel oil contains furanocoumarins, which can increase skin sensitivity to sunlight and raise the risk of sunburn (phototoxicity).

Confidence: MEDIUM

Limonene

⚠️4/10

For school-age children (5+, kids, children) limonene is usually tolerated better than in babies, but it can still irritate the skin or cause allergic reactions in sensitive children.

Immune system - This ingredient is listed as a known human allergen and has multiple regulatory flags for immune-system effects (EU cosmetics and hazard labeling rules, and US regulatory listings). That means it can trigger allergic reactions or other immune effects in some people, including children.

Eczema - Experts and regulatory lists identify this chemical as a skin allergen and sensitizer (EU hazard and cosmetics notices). For babies or kids with sensitive skin or a history of eczema, it can trigger or worsen rash and contact dermatitis.

Irritant - Hazard classifications name this ingredient as a skin and general irritant (EU GHS hazard codes). It can cause redness, stinging, or eye and lung irritation if it touches or is breathed in.

Cancer - The ingredient record flags contamination concerns with formaldehyde. Formaldehyde is classified as a carcinogen by international cancer authorities, so contamination raises a potential cancer-related risk if present.

Builds Up - Some environmental assessments and peer-reviewed studies list this chemical as persistent and bioaccumulative in wildlife (OSPAR and scientific literature), meaning it can build up in the environment and animals over time.

Environmental - Regulatory hazard listings and ecological reviews note possible harm to wildlife and the environment (EU hazard codes and environmental assessments). This means its release or repeated use can be harmful to ecosystems.

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.

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

Coco-Betaine

✅3/10

For children 5 years and older, this ingredient is usually OK in shampoos and washes that are rinsed off. It helps make foam and clean without being very harsh for most kids. A small number of people can get skin irritation or allergic rashes, and regulators have raised concerns about possible contaminants from manufacturing.

Confidence: HIGH

Citrus Limon

✅3/10

Citrus Limon is lemon extract used for fragrance and mild astringent effects. It can cause mild irritation or photosensitivity but is generally safe in low concentrations for 5 plus years.

Confidence: HIGH

Ethylhexylglycerin

✅2/10

For children aged 5 years and older (school-aged kids, children, preteens), this ingredient is generally low risk when used on the skin at normal levels. The main issues are possible skin or eye irritation and, rarely, an allergic reaction in people who are sensitive.

Confidence: HIGH

Lemon Balm

✅2/10

Lemon Balm is generally safe in topical baby products for 5 plus years old with minor allergy risk. It is likely included for its soothing and calming properties.

No Known Risk - Lemon balm is generally considered safe for topical use, including on sensitive skin, and there is no strong evidence linking it to any of the listed risks for babies. There are no known reports of it causing irritation, hormone disruption, or other health concerns when used appropriately. However, as with any botanical, rare allergic reactions are possible, but these are not well-documented or common enough to warrant a specific risk label.

Confidence: HIGH

Neem Leaf

✅2/10

Azadirachta Indica Leaf is neem leaf used for its antimicrobial properties generally safe for topical use in children over 5 years

Confidence: MEDIUM

Phenoxyethanol

✅2/10

Confidence: HIGH

Decyl Glucoside

✅1/10

For children 5 years and older: this is generally safe. It’s a gentle cleanser used in many kid shampoos and washes. Most children won’t have a problem, but a small number of people can get skin irritation or an allergic rash.

Confidence: HIGH

Ethanol

✅1/10

No Known Risk - Current safety reviews for topical use show only low-level concerns for cancer, allergies, and reproductive effects and no formal use restrictions. That means no real hazards were identified for children using this ingredient on the skin. As with any plant product, if a child has a known plant allergy or very sensitive skin, try a small patch first and watch for redness or irritation.

Confidence: HIGH

Shea Butter

✅1/10

Butyrospermum Parkii Shea Butter is a natural moisturizer commonly used in baby products. It is very safe for topical use on children 5 years and older.

No Known Risk - Shea butter is widely used in baby skincare products and is generally considered safe for topical use. There is no strong evidence linking it to irritation, allergies, hormone disruption, or other health risks in babies. Rare allergic reactions may occur, but these are uncommon and not specific to infants. Current research and regulatory guidance do not identify any significant risks for babies when shea butter is used topically.

Confidence: HIGH

Sodium Chloride

✅1/10

For kids aged 5 and older (school-age children), sodium chloride is basically table salt and is usually safe in the small amounts used in skincare products like wipes, shampoos and lotions. It is low risk for long-term health problems.

No Known Risk - Regulatory reviews flag no meaningful health hazards for topical use. Food and health authorities list it as safe for limited use, and environmental assessments find it unlikely to harm organs, build up in the body, or damage wildlife. Overall expert sources rate concerns as low across cancer, allergies, development, and use restrictions.

Confidence: HIGH

Sodium Phytate

✅1/10

For children aged 5 years and older (kids, school-age children, preteens and teens), sodium phytate is generally low risk when used in normal skin products. It mainly helps keep formulas stable and is not known to cause major long-term harm at the levels used in cosmetics.

No Known Risk - The available safety summary for this topical ingredient shows only low or limited concerns. Reports note occasional, limited eye/skin/respiratory irritation and one animal study that found tumors only at very high doses; a regulatory review lists low non‑reproductive organ toxicity and some product-use restrictions. No moderate or high level hazards were identified, so no real risks were found in the provided data.

Confidence: MEDIUM

Azadirachta Indica

✅1/10

For school-age children (5 years and older), neem leaf extract used on the skin is generally low risk when used in normal amounts. There are some animal studies that showed effects only at high doses, but usual skincare amounts are unlikely to cause those problems.

No Known Risk - Based on available safety information, no child-specific hazards were identified for normal skin use. A few animal studies found effects (on reproduction, thyroid, or DNA) only at high doses, but these were limited and not shown for typical topical use. No clear regulatory bans or strong human safety warnings were reported, so there are no known moderate or high risks for children from normal use.

Confidence: MEDIUM

Saponified Cocos Nucifera

✅1/10

Saponified organic oils of coconut are mild cleansing agents derived from coconut oil and safe for topical use in baby products like shampoo and bodywash for 5 plus years.

No Known Risk - Coconut oil is widely used topically for babies and is generally considered safe. There is no strong evidence linking it to irritation, allergies, hormone disruption, cancer, or other health risks when used on healthy baby skin. Rare allergic reactions are possible, but not common enough to warrant a risk label based on current research.

Confidence: HIGH

Saponified Butyrospermum Parkii

✅0/10

Shea butter is widely used in baby products for moisturizing and is considered very safe for topical use in children over 5 years

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.
