⚠️5/10
Not evaluated
Confidence: LOW
COPPER PCA
⚠️4/10
For babies 6–12 months old, Copper PCA is likely low risk when used in small amounts on normal, healthy skin. The available safety review shows low concerns for cancer, allergies, and developmental harm, but it also flags environmental persistence and some animal study findings.
Builds Up - Environment Canada reports that this ingredient is persistent and can bioaccumulate in wildlife. That means it does not break down easily and can collect in living things over time, so repeated releases may lead to higher levels in the environment and animals.
Environmental - An official review found the ingredient to be persistent and bioaccumulative, which raises concern for harm to ecosystems and wildlife if it enters the environment from product use or disposal.
Confidence: MEDIUM
SODIUM HYDROXIDE
⚠️4/10
For infants 6–12 months (older babies and crawlers), sodium hydroxide in tiny, well-formulated amounts used only to adjust product pH is usually low risk. It is dangerous if present in concentrated form or if a product is not made to avoid irritation.
Banned - This ingredient is restricted for use in cosmetics in some regions. The EU cosmetics rules list limits on its use, and industry safety reviewers say it can only be used safely at certain low concentrations or when specially handled.
Organ Risk - Authorities have flagged possible harm to organs with repeated or high exposures. A national health agency classified it as expected to be toxic or harmful and gave it a medium human-health priority, and a U.S. assessment found toxic effects in animal studies. There is also limited evidence of breathing-related toxicity noted by a medical literature source.
Asthma - There is limited evidence that breathing in this chemical can hurt the lungs or airways. Medical literature notes possible respiratory toxicity, so it could make breathing problems worse if a child is exposed to vapor or mist.
Confidence: HIGH
ZINC PCA
⚠️4/10
For babies 6–12 months, using a tiny amount of this ingredient on a small area of healthy skin is usually okay. Most babies do not need it, so keep use rare and light.
Banned - The European Union restricts this ingredient in cosmetics. Their rules limit how much can be used, showing safety concerns in some uses.
Environmental - Environment Canada reports it is persistent and can build up in wildlife, which may harm rivers and animals.
Builds Up - Environment Canada notes it can build up in living things over time. With repeat use, small amounts may add up.
