Ingredients Analysis (21 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
n-methyl taurine
⚠️4/10
Cannot understand what n-methyl taurine is. It might be a misreading or a typo as it is not a recognized ingredient in baby products.
Confidence: HIGH
cocamidopropyl 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
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 benzoate
✅2/10
For school-age kids (5 years and up), sodium benzoate is usually safe in the small amounts used in lotions, wipes and creams. It helps stop bacteria and mold. Serious problems like cancer or widespread allergies are not expected, but some safety groups and countries set limits on how much can be used.
Confidence: HIGH
capric acid
✅1/10
Capric acid is a common fatty acid used in creams and lotions. For children 5 years and older it is generally safe and low risk when used in regular skin products. Most safety reviews find no serious long-term risks, though a small number of people may get mild irritation.
Confidence: HIGH
caprylic acid
✅1/10
For school-age children (5 years and older), caprylic acid is generally low risk when used in normal creams, lotions, or ointments. Reviews by government and industry safety panels find little evidence of serious harm, though mild skin or eye irritation can occur in some people.

It has a low reported risk for cancer, developmental harm, and most allergies, and regulators consider it unlikely to build up in the body or the environment.
No Known Risk - Government and industry safety reviews found no clear health hazards for skin use. Tests say it is not likely to build up in the body, not persistent in the environment, and not harmful to organs. Industry reviewers do note limits on how much can be used and some data gaps, but overall the ingredient is rated low concern for topical use.
Confidence: HIGH
glycol distearate
✅1/10
For children aged 5 years and older (school-age kids), Glycol Distearate in ordinary creams, lotions and cleansers is generally low risk. It helps products mix and look pleasant and is not linked to serious long-term harms in the available reviews. Regulators do note limited data in some areas and set recommended limits for how much can be used.
Confidence: HIGH
honey
✅1/10
For children aged 5 and older (school-aged kids and teens), putting honey on the skin is usually safe. It can help moisturize or soothe dry patches. Overall safety is low-risk, but a few people can have allergic reactions.
Confidence: HIGH
lauric acid
✅1/10
For children aged 5 and older (school-age kids, elementary-age children, tweens), lauric acid is generally low risk when used on the skin in normal amounts. It’s a common ingredient found in coconut oil and many mild skin products.
No Known Risk - Government and industry reviews find lauric acid to be generally safe when used on skin or in food. The U.S. FDA lists it for limited food use, the U.S. EPA does not consider it likely to cause cancer, and Environment Canada rates it as a low human-health priority and not likely to build up in the body or persist in the environment. An industry safety panel notes some data gaps and recommends limits on concentration, but no clear health hazards above background levels were identified.
Confidence: HIGH
polyquaternium-10
✅1/10
For kids aged 5 and up (school-age children), polyquaternium-10 used at normal low levels in hair and skin products is usually safe. It helps hair feel smooth and rarely causes irritation in older children.

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 methyl lauroyl taurate
✅1/10
For kids 5 years and older, Sodium Methyl Lauroyl Taurate is a mild cleansing ingredient that is usually low risk. Safety reviews say it has low concern for cancer, allergies, or effects on development. The main issue is that it can sometimes irritate skin or eyes for sensitive people.

Confidence: HIGH
olea europaea (olive) fruit oil
✅0/10
Organic olive oil is safe for topical use in children over 5 years often used as a moisturizer or emollient
No Known Risk - Olive oil is generally considered safe for topical use on baby skin, with no strong evidence linking it to irritation, eczema, or other health risks in most infants.

For children 5 years and older (school-age kids and up), sodium isethionate is generally safe. It is a gentle soap-like ingredient used to make foamy cleansers and is considered low risk for long-term harm.
No Known Risk - Expert reviews and regulatory assessments find no meaningful health hazards for sodium isethionate when used on the skin. A Canadian assessment concluded it is not expected to cause organ harm, is not persistent or likely to build up in the environment, and is not an environmental toxin. A cosmetic safety panel found it safe for use in cosmetics when used within concentration limits. Mild skin or eye irritation has been noted but the overall evidence points to low concern, so no specific health risks are identified for typical topical use.
Confidence: HIGH
sodium lauroyl isethionate
