Ingredients Analysis (19 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

Citral

⚠️4/10

For school-age children (5 years and up): citral is a fragrance that can irritate the skin or cause an allergic rash in some kids. Many children tolerate small amounts in lotions, shampoos, or soaps, but children with sensitive skin or eczema are more likely to react.

Irritant - This ingredient is classified as a skin, eye and general irritant by EU GHS hazard labels and is reported to cause irritation of skin, eyes and lungs. That means it can cause redness, stinging or sore eyes and skin reactions on sensitive baby skin.

Immune system - Regulatory sources (the EU Cosmetics Directive) and industry guidance (IFRA) list this chemical as a known human allergen or immune-system toxicant. Peer-reviewed reports also show evidence it can trigger immune reactions, so it can provoke allergic responses in some children.

Eczema - Because it is a known skin allergen and irritant (noted by EU cosmetic rules and fragrance industry reports), it can trigger or worsen eczema and similar skin conditions in people who are sensitive.

Asthma - Lung and respiratory irritation are reported in hazard listings (EU GHS), so inhaling or exposure to this ingredient could make breathing problems or asthma worse in sensitive children.

Confidence: HIGH

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.
