Ingredients Analysis (9 found)

Comfrey Root

⚠️5/10

For adults: Comfrey root used on the skin has known safety concerns. The plant can contain chemicals that can damage the liver and have caused tumors in animal tests. Small, short-term use on unbroken skin has lower risk than eating it, but there is still cause for caution.

Cancer - Animal and laboratory studies show comfrey (and extracts) can cause tumors and mutations, and a U.S. federal health agency has advised removing comfrey products because of possible cancer risk. This evidence means comfrey root is linked to cancer in long-term tests.

Organ Risk - There are multiple human case reports of serious liver damage (hepatic veno-occlusive disease) after using comfrey, and health authorities list comfrey as a known human liver toxicant. That makes liver harm a real risk if this root is used.

Absorbed - The ingredient can be absorbed through skin and the product notes enhanced skin absorption. Because toxic pyrrolizidine alkaloids are present, topically applying comfrey can let harmful compounds into the body.

Long-Term Risk - Studies show tumor formation at low doses and cases of liver disease after exposure, and health authorities have warned about removal from the market—together this points to risks that can appear after repeated or long-term use.

Banned - A U.S. federal health authority has advised manufacturers to remove comfrey products from the market, and some product-approval programs restrict its use—meaning it is banned or heavily restricted in some places.

Kaolin Clay

✅1/10

For adults (18+), kaolin clay used on the skin is generally safe. It’s commonly used to absorb oil and gently cleanse or exfoliate, and reviews find very low risk for cancer, allergies, or effects on reproduction.

No Known Risk - Government safety reviews find kaolin is not expected to be harmful to organs, is a low human-health priority, does not build up in the body, and is not considered an environmental toxin. Some product verification programs do require extra proof before allowing it, but current safety assessments do not identify real health risks for children from topical use.

Confidence: HIGH

Slippery Elm

✅1/10

Slippery Elm is a natural ingredient used for soothing skin and is generally safe in topical products for adults with minimal risk of irritation or adverse effects.

No Known Risk - Slippery Elm is generally considered safe for topical use, with no evidence in scientific literature linking it to irritation, hormone disruption, cancer, or other health risks in babies. There are no known reports of adverse effects when used on intact skin, and it is not banned or restricted in any country for topical use. However, as with any botanical, rare allergic reactions are possible, but these are not well-documented or specific to this ingredient.
