Ingredients Analysis (19 found)

Methylisothiazolinone
🚨7/10
For school-age children (5 years and older), this ingredient can cause allergic skin reactions in some kids. Many safety reviews and government opinions note it is a common cause of contact allergy. Overall risk is lower than for babies but still important, especially for children with eczema or very sensitive skin.
Immune system - This ingredient is a known skin sensitizer and can trigger immune reactions. Toxicity reviews and safety assessments list strong evidence that it causes allergic reactions in people, and regulators note it as an allergen.
Eczema - There are human case reports of children who developed allergic contact dermatitis after exposure (for example, from baby wipes). These cases show it can start or make eczema and similar rashes worse.
Irritant - Workplace and safety reports show it can irritate skin, eyes, or lungs and act as a skin irritant for some people.
Banned - Government safety opinions and national agencies have restricted or banned its use in cosmetics in some places and set limits on how it may be used, indicating regulatory concern about safety.
Confidence: HIGH
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
Hexyl Cinnamal
⚠️4/10
For kids age 5 and up, Hexyl Cinnamal is usually low-to-moderate risk. The main issue is allergic skin reactions — some children, especially those with sensitive skin or eczema, can get redness, itching, or rashes from products that contain it.
Immune system - This ingredient is flagged as an allergen. The EU cosmetics rules list it as a known human allergen, and the European Chemicals Agency shows limited but real evidence of skin and immune system reactions. Because the data mark allergies as a high concern, people (including children) with sensitive skin could get rashes or other allergic responses.
Hormones - Animal studies reviewed by the U.S. EPA found signs of endocrine disruption at moderate doses. That means the chemical can change normal hormone signals in the body, which could be important for growing children even if human evidence is limited.
Organ Risk - The European Chemicals Agency has classified this ingredient as toxic or harmful in some assessments for non-reproductive organs. That suggests repeated or high exposure could hurt organs (for example liver, lungs, or kidneys) even though some other agencies view the risk differently.
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

Lauramidopropyl Betaine
✅3/10
For kids 5 years and older (school-age children, older kids, and teens), Lauramidopropyl Betaine is usually safe when used in wash-off products like shampoos and body washes. It helps clean gently but has had some reports of contamination and a few allergy cases, so it's not completely risk-free.
Confidence: MEDIUM
CI 15985 FD&C Yellow No 6
✅3/10

Confidence: HIGH
PEG-150 Distearate
✅2/10
For school-age kids (5 years and older) this ingredient is usually low risk when used on the skin. It’s an ingredient that helps water and oil mix in creams and lotions. The main worry is not the ingredient itself but possible tiny amounts of unwanted impurities from how it’s made.
Confidence: MEDIUM
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 Trideceth Sulfate
✅2/10
For children aged 5 and older (school-age kids and teens), this is a low-risk soap or shampoo ingredient when used in products you rinse off. It’s unlikely to cause long-term harm or build up in the body.
Confidence: MEDIUM
Tetrasodium EDTA
✅2/10
For children 5 years and older (kids, school-age children, teens) this ingredient is generally low risk when used in normal personal care products like shampoos, lotions or wipes. It helps keep products stable and is usually present at low levels.
Confidence: MEDIUM
Caramel
✅1/10
Caramel is a colorant often used for appearance and is considered safe for topical use in children over 5 years
No Known Risk - Caramel, when used topically, is generally considered safe and does not have evidence linking it to skin irritation, hormone disruption, cancer, or other health risks in babies. There are no studies or regulatory warnings indicating topical caramel poses a risk to infants or children.
Confidence: HIGH
Polyquaternium-11
✅1/10
For school-age children (5 years and up), this ingredient is generally low risk when used on the skin or hair in normal products. It’s a conditioning ingredient found in shampoos, conditioners and some skin products.
No Known Risk - A government review found this ingredient is not expected to be toxic to organs, and it is not likely to build up in the body or harm the environment. An industry safety panel notes limits on how it is used and some gaps in data, but no higher-level health concerns (like cancer, hormone or developmental risks) were identified. Based on those reviews, there are no known health risks above low concern.
Confidence: MEDIUM
Propanediol
✅1/10
For school-age children (5 years and older) propanediol is generally low risk. It’s used to hydrate skin and help ingredients mix. A few safety reviews say it can sometimes irritate skin and can help other ingredients get through the skin more easily.
Confidence: HIGH
Chamomilla Recutita Flower Extract
✅1/10
Chamomilla Recutita Flower Extract is a common chamomile extract used for soothing skin. It is safe for topical use in 5 plus years baby products like shampoo and bodywash.
No Known Risk - Major safety reviews find only low or unclear concerns. A cosmetic safety panel says this chamomile extract is generally safe in products when used with limits, and the European chemicals agency notes only limited evidence of skin allergy. A few small human studies and a review reported unclear (equivocal) findings for nerve or pregnancy effects, but the data are not strong. No health concern here is rated above low.
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.
