Ingredients Analysis (23 found)

hydrofluorocarbon 152a
🚨7/10
For adults: Hydrofluorocarbon 152a is a gas used to push sprays and is not meant to be put on skin. Studies and government reports raise several safety concerns (immune, reproductive, possible cancer risk), and some authorities restrict or ban its cosmetic use. Because of that, it is safer to avoid putting it on your skin.
Banned - State product-safety rules list this chemical as banned or unsafe for use in cosmetics, so governments have restricted its use.
Forever Chemical - This compound belongs to a class of persistent fluorinated chemicals that experts flag as a group of long-lived 'forever' chemicals.
Builds Up - Toxicology reviews report that this chemical is persistent and can accumulate in people and wildlife over time.
Breast Milk - Health reviews note persistence and accumulation in humans, which means it can be found in body tissues and may pass into breast milk.
Immune system - A toxicological review identifies this chemical as a known human immune toxicant or allergen, so it can harm or change immune responses.
Fertility - Authoritative health profiles list this chemical as a known human reproductive and developmental toxin, so it can affect fertility and reproduction.
Brain Development - Scientific toxicology sources call this a developmental toxin in people, which can include effects on early growth and brain development.
Hormones - A toxicology assessment flags this chemical as a possible disruptor of the thyroid and other hormone systems, which can change normal hormonal development.
Confuse Hormones - Experts note this chemical may act like or interfere with natural hormones (a class-wide concern), so it can confuse the body's chemical signals.
Organ Risk - Health reviews and regulatory assessments report possible liver and cardiovascular toxicity in humans or animals after exposure.
Cancer - Toxicology documents list this chemical as a possible human carcinogen based on available evidence.
Absorbed - Product safety notes indicate enhanced skin absorption, so this chemical can get through skin and reach the body.
Environmental - Chemical-class reviews and toxicology profiles show persistence and bioaccumulation, meaning it can harm the environment and wildlife over time.
Long-Term Risk - Because the chemical is persistent, bioaccumulative, and linked to cancer, organ harm, and reproductive effects, it poses risks from long-term exposure.
Confidence: HIGH
benzethonium chloride
⚠️4/10
For adults: this ingredient is used as a skin disinfectant and is often safe when it’s in products made to the right strength. However, it can cause skin irritation or allergic reactions in some people, and some governments limit how it can be used.
Banned - This ingredient faces formal limits in some countries. Health Canada and Japan impose restrictions or prohibitions for certain cosmetic uses, and an industry safety panel recommends safe concentration limits depending on where the product is applied. These regulatory actions mean some uses are limited by officials and safety reviewers.
Fertility - Animal studies on related quaternary ammonium compounds showed reduced fertility and reproductive effects in mice at moderate doses. These peer‑reviewed laboratory studies raise real concerns about effects on reproductive systems in mammals.
Hormones - Laboratory research has linked quaternary ammonium compounds like this one to interference with hormone‑related biology (for example, blocking steps in cholesterol and steroid production). That kind of interference is a form of endocrine disruption and can change how hormones work.
Immune system - Reviews and human exposure reports note limited but real evidence of immune and allergic reactions, including respiratory sensitivities, after exposure to quaternary ammonium compounds. That means some people may have allergy or immune responses to products containing this ingredient.
Asthma - There is limited human and review evidence that exposure to this class of disinfectant chemicals can affect the airways and worsen breathing issues. Health and toxicology reports flagged respiratory effects after exposure, so people with asthma or breathing problems may be more at risk.
Organ Risk - Some sources describe possible non‑reproductive organ toxic effects from exposure to quaternary ammonium compounds, while government reviews have given mixed findings. Because there is evidence pointing to potential organ toxicity in people and animals, repeated or high exposures could harm organs like the liver or lungs.
