Ingredients Analysis (18 found)

sage oil

⚠️5/10

Sage oil may cause skin irritation or allergic reactions in children and contains thujone which can be toxic use with caution in baby products

Irritant - Sage oil contains compounds like thujone and camphor, which can cause skin irritation, redness, or rashes, especially on sensitive baby skin.

Absorbed - Sage oil's active components can be absorbed through the skin, potentially entering the bloodstream, which is a concern for babies with underdeveloped skin barriers.

Hormones - Sage oil contains phytoestrogens and thujone, which may interfere with hormone development and balance, posing a risk to infants.

Confidence: HIGH

cananga oil

⚠️4/10

For school-age children (5 years and older) this oil is not usually dangerous, but it can cause skin allergies or irritation. Most problems are allergic reactions, not poisoning.

Immune system - This oil is known to cause allergic reactions. EU cosmetic rules list it as a human allergen, the fragrance industry group reports strong evidence it can trigger allergies, and the European chemicals agency notes cases of skin allergy and sensitivity. For babies and kids, this can mean rashes, hives, or other immune reactions if their skin touches products with this oil.

Confidence: MEDIUM

rosemary oil

⚠️4/10

For children 5 years and older (school-age kids), rosemary leaf oil is usually safe in small amounts when it is part of a product made for skin. However, it can cause skin irritation or allergic reactions in some children and can help other ingredients get into the skin more easily.

Immune system - There is strong evidence that rosemary leaf oil can cause allergic or immune reactions in people. This ingredient is listed as a human allergen by the EU cosmetics authority and is noted for immune/allergy concerns by other safety reviewers, so it can trigger allergic responses in some children.

Eczema - Rosemary leaf oil has been identified as a skin allergen and can trigger or make eczema and similar rashes worse. This risk is supported by the EU cosmetics listing and safety reviews that note immune or allergy effects in humans.

Organ Risk - Animal studies show metabolic effects at moderate doses, and a European chemicals agency has classified the ingredient as potentially toxic or harmful in some assessments. That means repeated or high exposures could affect organs like the liver or other systems in animals, so there is some organ risk to note.

Brain Development - Animal research shows neuroendocrine or nervous-system effects at moderate doses. That suggests the oil could affect developing brain or hormone-related brain processes if exposure is high, so there is a possible risk to early brain development.

Absorbed - This oil can act as a skin penetration enhancer, meaning it can help other substances (and itself) get through the skin into the body. The Cosmetic Ingredient Review notes this property, so topical use can lead to absorption into the bloodstream.
