Ingredients Analysis (22 found)

hydrofluorocarbon 152a

🚨7/10

For children 5 years and older (school-age kids), Hydrofluorocarbon 152a is a propellant gas that is not meant to be put on skin. Experts and safety reviews link this chemical class to serious long-term health concerns, so it is best to avoid it in children's skin products.

Banned - State product-safety rules list this chemical as banned or unsafe for use in cosmetics, so governments have restricted its use.

Forever Chemical - This compound belongs to a class of persistent fluorinated chemicals that experts flag as a group of long-lived 'forever' chemicals.

Builds Up - Toxicology reviews report that this chemical is persistent and can accumulate in people and wildlife over time.

Breast Milk - Health reviews note persistence and accumulation in humans, which means it can be found in body tissues and may pass into breast milk.

Immune system - A toxicological review identifies this chemical as a known human immune toxicant or allergen, so it can harm or change immune responses.

Fertility - Authoritative health profiles list this chemical as a known human reproductive and developmental toxin, so it can affect fertility and reproduction.

Brain Development - Scientific toxicology sources call this a developmental toxin in people, which can include effects on early growth and brain development.

Hormones - A toxicology assessment flags this chemical as a possible disruptor of the thyroid and other hormone systems, which can change normal hormonal development.

Confuse Hormones - Experts note this chemical may act like or interfere with natural hormones (a class-wide concern), so it can confuse the body's chemical signals.

Organ Risk - Health reviews and regulatory assessments report possible liver and cardiovascular toxicity in humans or animals after exposure.

Cancer - Toxicology documents list this chemical as a possible human carcinogen based on available evidence.

Absorbed - Product safety notes indicate enhanced skin absorption, so this chemical can get through skin and reach the body.

Environmental - Chemical-class reviews and toxicology profiles show persistence and bioaccumulation, meaning it can harm the environment and wildlife over time.

Long-Term Risk - Because the chemical is persistent, bioaccumulative, and linked to cancer, organ harm, and reproductive effects, it poses risks from long-term exposure.

Confidence: HIGH

benzocaine

🚨6/10

Safety information not properly formatted for easy understanding

Banned - Health Canada and the EU Cosmetics Directive list benzocaine as banned or unsafe for use in cosmetics. Those official bans mean regulators found reasons to restrict this ingredient in products applied to the skin.

Cancer - The International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) reports limited evidence that benzocaine may be linked to cancer. That means some studies raise concern that long‑term exposure could raise cancer risk.

Absorbed - The ingredient record flags enhanced skin absorption, and agencies (ECHA and the U.S. National Library of Medicine) note limited evidence of dermal toxicity or allergic reactions. This shows benzocaine can get through skin and enter the body, which can matter for small children.

Confidence: HIGH

butane

🚨6/10

For children 5 years and older, butane is not recommended as something to put on skin. It’s a flammable propellant that can irritate the skin, eyes and lungs and has been linked to contamination concerns.

Banned - Health authorities in Canada and the EU restrict or limit the use, concentration, or manufacture of butane in cosmetics. Those government rules mean butane is not freely allowed at any level in products and may require special limits or controls.

Organ Risk - A national environmental health agency has classified butane as expected to be toxic or harmful to non-reproductive organs and listed it as a high human-health priority. That means repeated or heavy exposure could harm organs like the liver, kidneys, or lungs.

Immune system - An industry safety review found strong evidence that butane can act as a human skin toxicant or allergen. This suggests it can trigger immune reactions, like allergic skin responses, in some people.

Irritant - A cosmetic safety review reports strong evidence that butane can irritate skin, eyes, and lungs. On baby or sensitive skin this may cause redness, stinging, or rashes after contact.

Asthma - Hazard labeling and occupational guidance note lung irritation and hazards from handling butane. Breathing exposure can worsen asthma or cause breathing trouble, especially in children or sensitive people.

Confidence: HIGH

alcohol

⚠️5/10

Alcohol can cause skin dryness and irritation in children but is sometimes used as a preservative or antiseptic in wipes and lotions

Confidence: HIGH

methylparaben

✅2/10

For children 5 years and older (school-age children, kids, older toddlers moved on), methylparaben in creams, lotions or other skin products is generally low risk when used as directed in products that follow safety limits.

No Known Risk - Government and industry safety reviews did not find any health hazards above a low level for normal skin use. A government review said the ingredient is not expected to harm organs, and the industry safety panel notes limits on how much can be used and that some safety data are missing. Because no higher concerns were identified in these reviews, there are no known health risks for typical topical use.

Confidence: HIGH

aloe vera gel

There is no strong evidence of cancer, hormone, organ, or developmental harm from using it on the skin. A small number of people with oat allergy could react, and some products may have concentration limits, but for most children this ingredient is considered low risk when used as directed.

Confidence: HIGH

stearyl alcohol

✅1/10

For children aged 5 and up (school-age children, kids, older children) stearyl alcohol is usually safe in creams and lotions. The biggest issue is irritation — it can cause redness, stinging, or eye irritation in some people. Serious long-term harms are not expected.

It is generally considered safe for topical use on babies, with no evidence linking it to irritation, hormone disruption, cancer, or other long-term health effects. However, care should be taken to avoid inhalation of powders, but for topical use, there are no known risks.

Confidence: HIGH

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.
