Ingredients Analysis (17 found)

⚠️5/10

Not evaluated

Confidence: LOW

Cotton

⚠️4/10

Cotton is not a typical ingredient in topical products like lotions or cosmetics. It may be a misreading or typo as cotton is a fiber not a chemical ingredient.

No Known Risk - Cotton, when used topically and in its pure form, is widely considered safe for babies and does not have any established links to the listed health risks based on current research.

Confidence: HIGH

Fragrance

✅3/10

Perfume is commonly used in topical products for fragrance. It can cause minor skin irritation or allergies in sensitive adults but is generally safe.

Confidence: HIGH

Ethylhexylglycerin

✅2/10

For adults: usually safe in small amounts in creams, lotions and other skin products. Most adults have no problems, but some people can get skin reactions.

Confidence: HIGH

Phenoxyethanol

✅2/10

For adults: This preservative is usually safe in skin products when used as directed. Most adults won’t have problems, but it can irritate sensitive skin.

Confidence: HIGH

Sodium Hydroxide

✅2/10

For adults: usually safe in finished skin products because it’s used in very small amounts and neutralized so the product isn’t harsh. The biggest risk is irritation or burns from concentrated forms or poorly formulated products.

Confidence: HIGH

Acrylates/C10-30 Alkyl Acrylate Crosspolymer

✅1/10

For adults: generally safe in creams and lotions. Rarely causes allergy. The biggest concern is possible contamination during manufacturing (some impurities like methacrylic acid, acrylic acid, or benzene have been reported).

Confidence: MEDIUM

Caprylyl Glycol

✅1/10

For adults, caprylyl glycol is generally safe when used on the skin in normal cosmetic products. It helps keep skin hydrated and helps preserve products. Most adults do not have problems with it.

No Known Risk - Government and industry safety reviews found no clear health hazards for skin use. Tests say it is not likely to build up in the body, not persistent in the environment, and not harmful to organs. Industry reviewers do note limits on how much can be used and some data gaps, but overall the ingredient is rated low concern for topical use.

Confidence: HIGH

Carbomer

✅1/10

For adults: Carbomer is widely used in lotions, gels and creams and is usually safe when used on normal, unbroken skin. Big safety reviews flag low health concerns for cancer or long-term effects, but they do note two things to watch for: irritation for sensitive people and the possibility of tiny amounts of manufacturing impurities.

Confidence: MEDIUM

Cetearyl Olivate

✅1/10

For adults, cetearyl olivate is generally safe when used on the skin. It comes from olive oil and helps mix oil and water in creams. Reviews find only low-level concerns overall, with a small chance of irritation for sensitive people.

No Known Risk - Safety reviews by cosmetic experts find this ingredient safe for skin use. No moderate or high health concerns were identified for children. There are only small notes about possible mild irritation for some people and standard limits on how it is used, but these are low-level and not seen as a real health risk.

Confidence: HIGH

Dimethicone

✅1/10

For adults, dimethicone in creams and lotions is generally low risk. It helps protect and smooth skin and rarely causes allergy or irritation for most people.

Confidence: MEDIUM

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

Isopropyl Palmitate

✅1/10

For adults, isopropyl palmitate is generally safe when used on the skin. Most people can use it without problems, but if you have acne-prone or very sensitive skin it can sometimes make breakouts or irritation worse.

No Known Risk - Reviews and government assessments did not find health hazards above a low level for normal topical use. Safety panels note use limits and some data gaps, but regulators have called it low priority for human health, do not expect it to build up in the body or the environment, and allow limited food uses. Taken together, current evidence does not show any health risks above low for typical use.

Confidence: HIGH

Sorbitan Olivate

✅1/10

For adults: Sorbitan Olivate is generally safe when used in skin products. It helps oil and water mix and is made from olive fatty acids. The ingredient listing shows low concerns for cancer, allergies, and effects on reproduction.

No Known Risk - Reviewed safety information shows only low-level concerns for cancer, allergies/immune effects, and reproductive or developmental effects. An industry safety panel (Cosmetic Ingredient Review) notes data gaps and recommends limits on concentration or product types, but did not identify higher-level hazards for normal topical use. Based on that, there are no known health risks above low at typical use.

Confidence: HIGH

Tropolone

✅1/10

For adults, Tropolone is usually low risk when used on the skin. It’s commonly used to prevent bacterial or fungal growth in products. Most safety listings find little concern for cancer, reproduction, or long-term harm, but there are some notes about possible skin irritation.

No Known Risk - Reviewed toxicology and regulatory notes show only low-level concerns across cancer, immune/allergy, and reproductive areas. There is only limited evidence of skin irritation or allergic reaction from testing, and no higher-than-low risks were identified for topical use.

Confidence: MEDIUM

2-Hexanediol

✅0/10

For adults, 2-hexanediol is generally low risk when used in normal skin-care products. It is not linked to cancer or reproductive problems in the available safety reviews. A small number of studies show it can irritate skin, eyes, or lungs at higher exposures.

No Known Risk - Independent safety reviews (Cosmetic Ingredient Review) and the European Chemicals Agency do not find serious health hazards for normal skin use. They note only limited evidence of skin, eye, or lung irritation at higher doses and point out some data gaps, so overall the ingredient is rated low risk for typical topical use.

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.

Confidence: HIGH
