Ingredients Analysis (24 found)

Parfum 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

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

CI 47005 D C Yellow No 10

⚠️4/10

For kids aged 5 and up this dye is not highly likely to cause problems with occasional, careful use, but there are safety notes from regulators and scientific reviews about impurities and limits on how the color can be used. Because of those notes, it’s safer to limit use on children.

Immune system - A scientific re-evaluation report and case studies found people had immune or allergic reactions to this dye. That report specifically notes human cases of allergic or immune effects, so it can trigger immune responses in some users.

Eczema - Human case reports in the scientific re-evaluation noted allergic skin reactions. That means this ingredient can worsen or trigger eczema and related rashes in sensitive children.

Brain Development - Case studies and a scientific opinion report describe possible nervous-system effects in people exposed to this dye. Because of those reports, there is concern about effects on the developing brain with exposure.

Organ Risk - The ingredient record flags contamination concerns including heavy metals and industrial contaminants (for example cadmium and aniline). These contaminants are known to harm organs like the liver and kidneys with repeated exposure, so contaminated batches pose organ risk.

Absorbed - This color is used on skin and the ingredient notes call out enhanced skin absorption. That means some of the chemical (and any contaminants) can get through baby or child skin and enter the body.

Banned - Regulators restrict how this color can be used. For example, a major national regulator does not approve it for cosmetics around the eyes and enforces concentration/usage limits. Those official rules mean it is restricted or banned for certain uses.

A cosmetic industry safety review notes only routine recommendations (limits on impurities or concentrations) rather than a health hazard. Based on this, no meaningful health risks have been identified for normal topical use of this ingredient.

Confidence: HIGH

Hydroxypropyl Guar Hydroxypropyltrimonium Chloride

✅1/10

For kids 5 years and older (school-age children), this conditioning ingredient in shampoos and bodywashes is considered very low risk when used in rinse-off products.

No Known Risk - Independent safety reviews found low concern for cancer, allergies, and reproductive or developmental harm when used on skin. The industry safety panel also notes gaps in data and recommends limits on how much can be used in products, and some product-verification programs require extra proof that it is safe. Overall, current reviews do not show a health risk for children from normal topical use.

Confidence: HIGH

Silica

✅1/10

Silica is commonly used as an absorbent or anti-caking agent in topical products and is considered safe for skin use in children over 5 years

Confidence: HIGH

Sodium Chloride

Confidence: HIGH

Sodium Lauroamphoacetate

✅1/10

For kids aged 5 and older (school-age children, older children, teens), this ingredient is generally low risk in rinse-off products like shampoos and body washes. Long-term health risks are considered low, but there are specific concerns about possible contamination and some reports of mild skin or eye irritation.

Confidence: HIGH

Sorbic Acid

✅1/10

For children aged 5 and older (school-age kids, older children, teens) sorbic acid is generally considered low risk when used in normal skin products. The main issue is skin allergy or irritation — some kids with sensitive skin or eczema may react.

Confidence: HIGH

Aqua 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.
