Ingredients Analysis (13 found)

2-BROMO-2-NITROPROPANE-1-3-DIOL

⚠️5/10

2-Bromo-2-nitropropane-1,3-diol is a preservative used in personal care products including wipes. It can release formaldehyde causing moderate irritation risk in adults.

Irritant - Bronopol is known to cause skin irritation, especially in sensitive individuals, and can lead to redness or rashes when used topically.

Cancer - Bronopol can release formaldehyde and nitrosamines, both of which are classified as potential human carcinogens, especially with long-term or repeated exposure.

Absorbed - Bronopol can be absorbed through the skin, raising concerns about systemic exposure, especially in infants with thinner skin.

Banned - Bronopol is restricted or banned in leave-on cosmetic products in some countries due to its safety concerns, particularly regarding formaldehyde release.

Long-Term Risk - Long-term exposure to bronopol and its breakdown products (like formaldehyde) is linked to increased health risks, including sensitization and carcinogenicity.

Confidence: HIGH

CETYLPYRIDINIUM CHLORIDE

⚠️4/10

For adults (grown-ups), this ingredient is usually okay in products made for skin or mouth when used as the label says. Most adults won’t have serious problems, but some people may get skin irritation, an allergic reaction, or breathing sensitivity.

Banned - A government health agency in Japan limits how much of this chemical can be used in some cosmetics, and U.S. regulators have set rules about its use in food. These official actions mean some countries restrict or tightly control this ingredient.

Immune system - Public reviews and limited human reports note signs of immune or allergic effects after exposure to this class of chemicals. That means it can sometimes trigger immune reactions in people.

Asthma - There is limited evidence from reviews and case reports that respiratory exposure can cause or worsen breathing problems. For children with sensitive airways, this could raise the risk of asthma-like reactions.

Fertility - Animal studies in mice (reported in 2014–2015) showed reduced fertility and other reproductive effects at moderate doses. These results suggest a real risk to reproductive health seen in lab animals.

Organ Risk - Research and a 2021 review of disinfectant exposures reported possible toxic effects on non-reproductive organs in people, and some studies flag altered toxicological measures after exposure. This points to possible harm to organs with repeated use or exposure.

Environmental - A national environmental agency has flagged this chemical as a suspected toxin to the environment. While it is not thought to persist or build up in tissues, it can still harm wildlife or ecosystems.

Confidence: MEDIUM

PROPYLENE GLYCOL

✅3/10

For adults and teens, propylene glycol is usually safe when used on normal skin. It helps keep skin moisturized and makes products feel smooth. A small number of people may get redness, itching, or other irritation.

Confidence: HIGH

CHLORPHENESIN

✅3/10

For adults, chlorphenesin is usually safe in small amounts in skin products. Some people may get skin irritation or an allergic reaction. A few countries limit or restrict how it’s used.

Confidence: HIGH

DISODIUM EDTA

✅2/10

For adults: Disodium EDTA is commonly used to keep cosmetic formulas stable and to help preservatives work. At the small amounts used in skin products it is generally low risk for adults, but it can irritate skin or eyes in some people.

Confidence: HIGH

POLYSORBATE 20

✅2/10

For adults and teens, Polysorbate 20 is usually safe. It helps mix oils and water in creams and lotions. Most people don’t have problems, though a small number may notice mild irritation.

Confidence: HIGH

GLYCERIN

✅1/10

For adults: glycerin is a common, low‑risk ingredient used in creams and lotions to pull moisture into the skin. Most adults, including those with dry skin, tolerate it well.

Confidence: HIGH

SODIUM CHLORIDE

✅1/10

For adults (grown-ups), sodium chloride — ordinary table salt — is very low risk when used on the skin. It's often added to cleansers, scrubs, lotions, and other products and is safe for most people.

No Known Risk - Regulatory reviews flag no meaningful health hazards for topical use. Food and health authorities list it as safe for limited use, and environmental assessments find it unlikely to harm organs, build up in the body, or damage wildlife. Overall expert sources rate concerns as low across cancer, allergies, development, and use restrictions.

Confidence: HIGH

SODIUM CITRATE

✅1/10

For adults: Sodium citrate is generally safe on the skin. It has a very low risk of causing serious harm and is commonly used to balance acidity and help ingredients work together.

No Known Risk - Reviewed safety information shows only low-level concerns. U.S. food regulators say it is allowed for some food uses, a cosmetic safety panel notes allowed limits and some data gaps but does not show hazards at normal use, and a national environment agency finds it unlikely to harm organs, build up in the body, or persist in the environment. Because no health concern was reported above low, there are no specific risks identified for typical topical use.

Confidence: HIGH

ALOE BARBADENSIS LEAF JUICE

✅1/10

For adults: Aloe vera leaf juice is generally safe to use on the skin. Most adult skin types tolerate it well when the product is a purified gel or juice made for cosmetics.

Confidence: HIGH

TOCOPHERYL ACETATE

✅1/10

For adults, this ingredient is usually safe on the skin. Most men and women tolerate it well, but a few people can get redness or a rash.

Confidence: MEDIUM

WATER

✅0/10

For adults, plain water used on the skin is very safe. It's the main ingredient in many creams and lotions. It is not expected to cause cancer, major allergic problems, or harm to reproduction according to government safety reviews.

No Known Risk - Regulatory reviews (Environment Canada) find plain water is not expected to be toxic, not bioaccumulative, and not an environmental toxin. Safety summaries list no concerns above a low level for organ harm, reproductive effects, or other long‑term risks for topical use, so no specific health risks are identified for use on skin.
