⚠️5/10

Confidence: HIGH

Juniperus Virginiana Oil

⚠️4/10

For adults (grown-ups): this oil is used in fragrances and skin products. Most adults can use it, but it can cause allergic skin reactions in some people.

Immune system - This oil is listed as a known human allergen by the EU Cosmetics Directive. That means it can trigger immune reactions such as allergic contact responses in some people, which is a real risk for sensitive children.

Irritant - Because it is recognized as a human allergen (EU Cosmetics Directive), it can cause skin irritation like redness, itching, or rashes—especially on baby or sensitive skin.

Eczema - Being a known allergen makes this oil able to start or make eczema and similar skin conditions worse in sensitive children, according to the EU Cosmetics Directive listing.

Organ Risk - Environment Canada classifies this substance as expected to be toxic or harmful to non-reproductive organ systems. That means repeated or heavy exposure could harm organs (for example liver, kidneys, or lungs).

Environmental - Environment Canada suspects this oil is an environmental toxin. That indicates it may cause harm to wildlife or ecosystems if released into the environment.

Anisaldehyde

✅1/10

For adults: anisaldehyde is generally safe on skin at the small amounts usually used in perfumes and scented products. Officials that review chemicals say it is not expected to be harmful and does not seem to build up in the body.

No Known Risk - Health and safety assessments from multiple agencies found no issues above low concern: a Canadian review says it is not expected to be harmful to body organs and is not persistent or likely to build up in the body; a European agency did not flag wildlife or environmental toxicity; and the U.S. food agency allows limited food use. Because no higher concerns were identified, there are no known health risks based on these reviews.

Benzyl Acetate

✅1/10

For adults: Benzyl acetate is usually safe on the skin when used in small amounts. It’s a fragrance ingredient with low concerns for cancer or long-term harm. A small, low-level link to hormone effects has been reported, so extra caution is suggested for people who are pregnant or breastfeeding.

Another agency says it is not expected to be harmful to organs, does not build up in the body, and does not persist in the environment. The U.S. food safety agency allows limited use in food. Taken together, these reviews show no clear, higher-level risks for children from typical topical use.
