Ingredients Analysis (23 found)

Lemon Peel Oil

⚠️4/10

Citrus Limon Peel Oil can cause skin irritation and photosensitivity in some adults often used for fragrance or skin conditioning

Irritant - Lemon peel oil contains limonene and citral, which are known skin irritants, especially for sensitive baby skin.

Eczema - Citrus oils like lemon peel oil can trigger or worsen eczema in sensitive individuals, including babies.

Sun Burn - Lemon peel oil contains furanocoumarins, which can increase skin sensitivity to sunlight and raise the risk of sunburn (phototoxicity).

Confidence: HIGH

Limonene

⚠️4/10

Limonene is a citrus scent commonly used in skin products. For adults and teens it is usually okay at the small amounts used in cosmetics, but it can irritate the skin or cause allergic reactions, especially if the product is old or has been exposed to air.

Immune system - This ingredient is listed as a known human allergen and has multiple regulatory flags for immune-system effects (EU cosmetics and hazard labeling rules, and US regulatory listings). That means it can trigger allergic reactions or other immune effects in some people, including children.

Eczema - Experts and regulatory lists identify this chemical as a skin allergen and sensitizer (EU hazard and cosmetics notices). For babies or kids with sensitive skin or a history of eczema, it can trigger or worsen rash and contact dermatitis.

Irritant - Hazard classifications name this ingredient as a skin and general irritant (EU GHS hazard codes). It can cause redness, stinging, or eye and lung irritation if it touches or is breathed in.

Cancer - The ingredient record flags contamination concerns with formaldehyde. Formaldehyde is classified as a carcinogen by international cancer authorities, so contamination raises a potential cancer-related risk if present.

Builds Up - Some environmental assessments and peer-reviewed studies list this chemical as persistent and bioaccumulative in wildlife (OSPAR and scientific literature), meaning it can build up in the environment and animals over time.

Environmental - Regulatory hazard listings and ecological reviews note possible harm to wildlife and the environment (EU hazard codes and environmental assessments). This means its release or repeated use can be harmful to ecosystems.

Confidence: HIGH

Linalool

⚠️4/10

For adults (including teens and young adults): linalool is commonly used to add scent and many people use it without problems. The main issue is that it can cause skin allergy or irritation in some people, especially if the product is old or has been exposed to air.

Immune system - This ingredient is listed as a known human allergen and a possible immune-system toxicant in official cosmetic safety reviews (European cosmetics rules) and is flagged with strong evidence by the U.S. regulator. That means it can trigger allergic reactions or immune responses in some children.

Irritant - Official cosmetic guidance requires labeling for this ingredient because it can cause allergic skin reactions. The safety reviews identify it as a human allergen, so it can cause redness, itching, or rashes on sensitive baby skin.

Eczema - Because this ingredient is a known allergen and can provoke skin reactions, it may trigger or make eczema and similar skin conditions worse in susceptible children.

Cancer - A contamination concern was specifically flagged for formaldehyde being associated with this ingredient. Formaldehyde is recognized in safety summaries as a harmful contaminant linked to cancer risk, so contamination raises a cancer-related concern.

No Known Risk - Coconut oil is widely used topically for babies and is generally considered safe.

No Known Risk - Lemon balm is generally considered safe for topical use, including on sensitive skin, and there is no strong evidence linking it to any of the listed risks for babies. There are no known reports of it causing irritation, hormone disruption, or other health concerns when used appropriately. However, as with any botanical, rare allergic reactions are possible, but these are not well-documented or common enough to warrant a specific risk label.

Confidence: HIGH

Melissa Officinalis Leaf Powder

No Known Risk - Regulatory reviews flag no meaningful health hazards for topical use. Food and health authorities list it as safe for limited use, and environmental assessments find it unlikely to harm organs, build up in the body, or damage wildlife. Overall expert sources rate concerns as low across cancer, allergies, development, and use restrictions.

Confidence: HIGH

Sodium Phytate

✅1/10

For adults, sodium phytate is usually safe when used in everyday skin care products. Most people tolerate it well, but there are small reports of irritation and regulatory notes that advise limits on use.

No Known Risk - The available safety summary for this topical ingredient shows only low or limited concerns. Reports note occasional, limited eye/skin/respiratory irritation and one animal study that found tumors only at very high doses; a regulatory review lists low non‑reproductive organ toxicity and some product-use restrictions. No moderate or high level hazards were identified, so no real risks were found in the provided data.

Confidence: MEDIUM

Azadirachta Indica

✅1/10

For adults, neem leaf extract used on the skin is usually safe in normal product amounts. Most safety notes are low concern, but there are a few lab or animal findings suggesting possible risks at much higher doses than you’d get from a cream or lotion.

No Known Risk - Based on available safety information, no child-specific hazards were identified for normal skin use. A few animal studies found effects (on reproduction, thyroid, or DNA) only at high doses, but these were limited and not shown for typical topical use. No clear regulatory bans or strong human safety warnings were reported, so there are no known moderate or high risks for children from normal use.

Confidence: HIGH
