Ingredients Analysis (21 found)

Benzaldehyde

⚠️4/10

For most adults, benzaldehyde in small amounts on the skin is low risk. But it can cause allergic skin reactions in people who are sensitive to fragrances.

Immune system - This ingredient is listed as a known human allergen by the EU cosmetics authority and is flagged as a high allergy/immunotoxicity concern in safety reviews. That means it can trigger immune reactions in some people when used on the skin.

Eczema - Because it is identified as a human allergen for skin use (per the EU cosmetics listing), it can cause or worsen skin redness, itching, or rashes in sensitive children or babies.

Organ Risk - Health regulators in Canada classify this chemical as expected to be toxic or harmful and give it a medium human-health priority, and safety reviews note non-reproductive organ system toxicity. Repeated or high exposures could harm organs such as the liver or kidneys.

Banned - Some regulatory and verification programs restrict or limit use of this ingredient: workplace exposure limits and EU hazard rules set tight limits, and certain product verification programs prohibit it unless special safety data is supplied. That means it is restricted in some jurisdictions and product standards.

Long-Term Risk - Occupational guidance and government assessments point to workplace limits and medium priority for human health, and industry reviewers note data gaps and concentration limits. Those findings mean there is potential for health effects from repeated long-term exposure.

Confidence: HIGH

Camphor

⚠️4/10

For adults: Camphor is commonly used on the skin and is usually okay in products made for adults when used as directed. Some people can get a rash or other allergic reactions, and some countries limit how it is used in cosmetics.

Immune system - Camphor is listed by the EU cosmetics rules as a known human allergen. That means it can trigger allergic reactions in some people, which can affect a child’s immune response to the skin exposure.

Irritant - Because camphor is identified as a human allergen, it can cause skin redness, itching, or rashes when applied to sensitive skin or to children who react to it.

Eczema - Known allergy risk from camphor can provoke or worsen eczema and contact dermatitis in children who are sensitive to it, per the EU cosmetics classification.

Banned - Health Canada restricts the use or concentration of camphor in cosmetics, so its use is limited or controlled in some countries.
