CALCIUM HYDROXIDE

⚠️4/10

For adults, calcium hydroxide used on the skin is moderately safe but can cause irritation. It is often allowed in products only at limited strengths and when carefully formulated to avoid harming the skin or eyes.

Irritant - Authoritative safety guides list calcium hydroxide as an irritant to skin, eyes, and lungs. A chemical-hazards pocket guide classifies it as an eye/skin/lung irritant, a U.S. medical toxicology source reports evidence of skin irritation, and an industry safety panel says it can cause irritation unless used at limited concentrations. For a baby, that means this ingredient can cause redness, stinging, or rashes on delicate skin or damage if it gets in the eyes.

Asthma - Chemical-hazard guidance specifically calls out lung irritation from calcium hydroxide. Because it can irritate the lungs, it can make breathing problems or asthma worse in children if inhaled or if fine dust/aerosols reach the airways.

Banned - Regulatory sources for cosmetics show use and concentration limits for calcium hydroxide and recommend restrictions. The EU Cosmetics Directive / Cosing records restrictions and the industry review panel says it is only safe when formulated to avoid irritation. These rules mean some countries or product standards limit or prohibit its use in cosmetics.

Confidence: MEDIUM

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 this ingredient is usually safe when used on normal skin. It’s a thickener found in many lotions, cleansers, and shampoos and is unlikely to cause serious harm in typical products.

Confidence: MEDIUM

DAUCUS CAROTA SATIVA (CARROT) ROOT EXTRACT

✅1/10

For adults, carrot root extract is generally very safe when used on normal skin. Most safety listings find low concern for cancer or long-term harm.

Confidence: HIGH

Safety information not properly formatted for easy understanding

Confidence: HIGH

ZEA MAYS (CORN) OIL

✅1/10

Confidence: HIGH

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

AQUA

✅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

OLEA EUROPAEA (OLIVE) FRUIT OIL

✅0/10

Organic olive oil is very safe for adult topical use and is commonly used as an emollient in lotions and cosmetics

No Known Risk - Olive oil is generally considered safe for topical use on baby skin, with no strong evidence linking it to irritation, eczema, or other health risks in most infants. While some studies suggest it may worsen eczema in predisposed babies, this is not consistent or proven for the general population. There are no known links to hormone disruption, cancer, organ risk, or other listed risks based on current research.

Confidence: HIGH

TOCOPHEROL

✅0/10

Tocopherol is vitamin E used on skin. For adults it is generally safe and often helps moisturize and protect oils. Problems are uncommon.

Confidence: HIGH
