Ingredients Analysis (22 found)

lavandula angustifolia

🚨6/10

Lavender oil can cause skin irritation and possible hormone effects in infants under 12 months often used for fragrance

Irritant - Lavender oil can cause skin irritation, redness, or rashes, especially on sensitive baby skin, as documented in dermatological studies.

Hormones - Some studies have suggested that topical lavender oil may have hormone-disrupting effects, such as prepubertal gynecomastia in boys, indicating a potential risk for hormone disruption in babies.

pimpinella anisum seed extract

🚨6/10

For babies 6–12 months old, anise (Pimpinella anisum) seed extract can cause skin allergy or irritation in some people. It is not linked to cancer or other major long‑term harms, but because infants have very sensitive skin and immune systems, extra caution is advised.

Immune system - This ingredient is listed as a known human allergen and has evidence of causing allergic reactions on the skin, so it can trigger immune responses in sensitive children (noted by the EU cosmetics authority and by the European chemicals agency).

Irritant - There is limited but clear evidence of dermal toxicity and skin allergies, meaning it can cause skin redness, itching, or rashes on contact for some people (documented by the European chemicals agency).

Eczema - Because it is a known allergen and can cause skin reactions, it may trigger or make eczema and similar skin conditions worse in babies or children (supported by the EU cosmetics directive and the European chemicals agency findings).
