Ingredients Analysis (33 found)

Benzyl Benzoate

⚠️4/10

For adults, benzyl benzoate is usually safe when used on the skin in small amounts, but it commonly causes allergic or skin reactions in sensitive people.

Immune system - This chemical is listed by the EU Cosmetics Directive and by the International Fragrance Association as a known human allergen. That means it can trigger immune reactions in people who touch it, so a child could have an allergic response to a product that has this ingredient.

Irritant - Because regulators require special labeling for allergens, and industry guidance shows strong evidence of allergic responses, this ingredient can cause skin irritation such as redness and itching when used on skin.

Eczema - Regulatory and industry sources identify this ingredient as a skin allergen. That same allergen activity can trigger or make eczema and contact dermatitis worse in sensitive children.

Organ Risk - Workplace safety listings under EU GHS set limits and note that exposures must be kept low. Those restrictions exist because higher or repeated exposures raise concerns about harm from this chemical, so workplace rules show potential organ-related risk with greater exposure.

Confidence: HIGH

Benzyl Salicylate

⚠️4/10

For adults: Benzyl salicylate is usually safe for most adults when used in skincare, perfume, or similar products. The main concern is that it can cause skin allergy in some people and there is a reported contamination issue involving salicylic acid.

Immune system - Multiple safety assessments list this ingredient as a known human allergen or immune toxicant (noted by the EU cosmetics rules, the U.S. EPA, and industry safety panels). That means it can cause allergic or immune reactions in people, so it is a real risk for sensitive children.

Eczema - Regulatory and industry findings show this chemical can cause skin allergy or dermatitis (noted by the EU cosmetics framework and chemical safety reviews). For babies with sensitive or atopic skin, it can trigger or make eczema and similar skin rashes worse.

Environmental - A national environmental assessment flagged this substance as a suspected environmental toxin, and contamination notes list salicylic acid as a possible impurity. That means there is concern it could harm wildlife or the environment if released.

Confidence: HIGH

Citral

⚠️4/10

For adults: Citral is a common perfume ingredient that can irritate skin and cause allergic reactions in some people. Most grown-ups can tolerate occasional use in low amounts, but people with sensitive or reactive skin may react.

Irritant - This ingredient is classified as a skin, eye and general irritant by EU GHS hazard labels and is reported to cause irritation of skin, eyes and lungs. That means it can cause redness, stinging or sore eyes and skin reactions on sensitive baby skin.

Immune system - Regulatory sources (the EU Cosmetics Directive) and industry guidance (IFRA) list this chemical as a known human allergen or immune-system toxicant. Peer-reviewed reports also show evidence it can trigger immune reactions, so it can provoke allergic responses in some children.

Eczema - Because it is a known skin allergen and irritant (noted by EU cosmetic rules and fragrance industry reports), it can trigger or worsen eczema and similar skin conditions in people who are sensitive.

Asthma - Lung and respiratory irritation are reported in hazard listings (EU GHS), so inhaling or exposure to this ingredient could make breathing problems or asthma worse in sensitive children.

Confidence: HIGH

Citronellol

⚠️4/10

For adults: many people can use products with citronellol without problems, but it can cause allergic skin reactions in some people. It’s a fragrance ingredient and is known to cause contact allergy in sensitive adults.

Immune system - This ingredient is flagged as a human allergen and immune-system toxicant by multiple regulatory groups. The ingredient record lists strong evidence of allergic and immune-system effects from the EU cosmetics rules, the U.S. environmental regulator, and the fragrance industry group, indicating real risk of allergic reactions in people, including children.

Irritant - Studies and regulatory notes show this chemical can cause skin irritation and dermal reactions. European chemical reviewers and fragrance industry guidance list dermal toxicity or allergy concerns, so it can cause redness, itching, or rashes on sensitive baby skin.

Eczema - Because it is a known skin allergen with documented dermal reactions in humans, this ingredient can trigger or worsen eczema and similar skin conditions, per the same EU and chemical agency findings referenced in the ingredient record.

Asthma - The ingredient is shown to be an allergen and immune irritant in human evidence noted by regulators. Respiratory allergy and worsened breathing (including asthma) can occur when people are sensitive to strong fragrance allergens like this one.

Cancer - The ingredient record flags a contamination concern with formaldehyde. Formaldehyde is a well-known carcinogen, so possible contamination raises a cancer-related safety concern until product purity is confirmed.

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.
