Ingredients Analysis (30 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
cocamide mea
⚠️4/10
For school-age children (5 years and up), Cocamide MEA is generally okay in products that are rinsed off, like shampoos and body washes. It can sometimes irritate skin or eyes, and there are manufacturing contamination concerns, so it’s best handled with care.
Cancer - Safety records flag possible contamination with nitrosamines. Nitrosamines are a class of impurities linked to cancer, so the presence of those contaminants is a real cancer concern for products using this ingredient.
Banned - A cosmetic safety review and industry guidance note limits and restrictions for this ingredient. It is considered unsafe in leave-on products and is restricted in use or concentration, so some countries or industry rules limit or prohibit certain uses.
Confidence: MEDIUM
