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.
Confidence: HIGH
Golden Seal
⚠️5/10
Golden Seal is a herbal extract used for skin benefits but can cause irritation or allergic reactions in some adults so use with caution in topical products.
Irritant - Goldenseal can cause skin irritation, especially on sensitive skin, and there are reports of contact dermatitis with topical use.
Confidence: HIGH
Natural Fragrance
⚠️4/10
Premium Fragrance Oil is not a specific chemical ingredient but a generic term for a blend of fragrance compounds. Its exact composition is unknown so safety cannot be precisely assessed.
Irritant - Fragrance mixtures often contain chemicals that can cause skin irritation, redness, or rashes, especially on sensitive baby skin.
Eczema - Fragrances are known triggers for eczema flare-ups and can worsen symptoms in babies with sensitive or atopic skin.
Asthma - Fragrance chemicals can release volatile organic compounds (VOCs) that may worsen asthma or breathing issues in babies and children.
Hormones - Some fragrance ingredients, such as certain phthalates, are suspected endocrine disruptors that may interfere with hormone development.
Absorbed - Certain fragrance chemicals can be absorbed through the skin and detected in the bloodstream, raising concerns for systemic exposure.
Breast Milk - Some fragrance components, including phthalates, have been detected in breast milk, indicating they can pass from mother to baby.
Banned - Some fragrance ingredients are banned or restricted in the EU and other countries due to health concerns.
Builds Up - Certain fragrance chemicals, such as some phthalates and musks, can accumulate in the body over time with repeated exposure.
Long-Term Risk - Long-term exposure to some fragrance chemicals has been linked to chronic health effects, including hormone disruption and allergic diseases.

Lavender Oil

Confidence: HIGH
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.
