Ingredients Analysis (23 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

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.
