Ingredients Analysis (33 found)

Fragrance
⚠️5/10
Perfume can cause skin irritation or allergic reactions in babies 6-12 months. It is used to provide fragrance in baby care products but should be used 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
Lecithin
⚠️4/10
For babies 6–12 months, lecithin is commonly used in creams and is usually okay, but it's not completely risk-free. Some people can have allergic or breathing reactions, and there are concerns about contamination and the ingredient helping other chemicals get into the skin.
Immune system - A professional clinic group (AOEC) and published case reports show strong evidence that lecithin can act as an allergen or immune-system irritant in people. That means it can trigger allergic or immune reactions in some children, so watch for rashes, swelling, or breathing trouble.
Asthma - Experts report lecithin as a human respiratory toxicant or allergen (AOEC) and case studies show possible breathing-related reactions. This could make asthma or wheezy breathing worse in sensitive children.
Absorbed - A cosmetic industry safety panel (Cosmetic Ingredient Review, CIR) lists lecithin as a penetration enhancer, meaning it can help other substances get through the skin and into the body. That raises the chance that unwanted chemicals could be absorbed.
Cancer - The ingredient record flags contamination concerns — specifically nitrosamines — at a high level. Nitrosamines are known carcinogens, so contamination raises a potential cancer risk if products contain those impurities.
Environmental - A national agency review (Environment Canada) notes uncertainty about environmental toxicity for this substance. That means it could pose risks to wildlife or ecosystems, though the evidence is unclear.

No Known Risk - Major safety reviews find only low or unclear concerns. A cosmetic safety panel says this chamomile extract is generally safe in products when used with limits, and the European chemicals agency notes only limited evidence of skin allergy. A few small human studies and a review reported unclear (equivocal) findings for nerve or pregnancy effects, but the data are not strong. No health concern here is rated above low.
