Ingredients Analysis (14 found)

Chlorhexidine Digluconate

⚠️4/10

For grown-ups: this is a common skin disinfectant. Most adults can use it safely in products made for skin, but it can sometimes cause skin allergies or, rarely, breathing problems in sensitive people.

Immune system - There is strong evidence this ingredient can cause allergic and immune reactions in people. An asthmagen exposures compilation, peer-reviewed studies, and a European chemical agency review all list immune or allergy concerns for this chemical.

Asthma - This chemical appears on an asthmagen list, meaning it can trigger or worsen breathing problems and asthma in some people when they are exposed.

Irritant - Peer-reviewed studies and regulatory reviews report strong evidence that this substance can irritate skin and act as a skin allergen, so it may cause redness, itching, or rashes on sensitive skin.

Eczema - Because it is documented as a skin allergen in the scientific literature, it can trigger or make eczema and similar skin conditions worse for some children.

Banned - Use of this ingredient is restricted by national authorities: Health Canada and Japan’s health ministry limit its use or concentration in cosmetics, and expert safety panels recommend concentration limits.

Builds Up - Some reviews raise concerns that the chemical may be persistent or bioaccumulative and could build up with repeated exposure; an organohalogen pollutants review flagged persistence and bioaccumulation as a moderate concern.

Environmental - There are mixed regulatory findings, but at least one authoritative review flags persistence and bioaccumulation as an environmental concern, so the ingredient may pose environmental risks in some contexts.

No Known Risk - Government and cosmetic safety reviewers evaluated this ingredient and did not find evidence of serious harms for normal topical use. A Canadian regulator said it is not expected to be toxic or to build up in the body. European and industry reviewers noted only limited, low evidence for mild skin or eye irritation. No clear links were found to cancer, reproductive harm, organ damage, or environmental toxicity. Because the reported concerns are low or limited, there are no known significant risks for typical use on skin.

No Known Risk - For topical use, available safety reviews report only low-level concerns (for cancer, allergies/immunity, and reproductive effects) and no use restrictions. That means there are no clear or higher-than-low risks identified for children from normal skin use. Data are limited, but current assessments do not show real hazards for baby or child use.
