Ingredients Analysis (22 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

butane

🚨6/10

For adults: butane is a propellant gas used in sprays. It is not meant to be applied to skin like a lotion. It can irritate the skin, eyes, and airways and may be harmful if breathed in or used near heat or flame.

Banned - Health authorities in Canada and the EU restrict or limit the use, concentration, or manufacture of butane in cosmetics. Those government rules mean butane is not freely allowed at any level in products and may require special limits or controls.

Organ Risk - A national environmental health agency has classified butane as expected to be toxic or harmful to non-reproductive organs and listed it as a high human-health priority. That means repeated or heavy exposure could harm organs like the liver, kidneys, or lungs.

Immune system - An industry safety review found strong evidence that butane can act as a human skin toxicant or allergen. This suggests it can trigger immune reactions, like allergic skin responses, in some people.

Irritant - A cosmetic safety review reports strong evidence that butane can irritate skin, eyes, and lungs. On baby or sensitive skin this may cause redness, stinging, or rashes after contact.

Asthma - Hazard labeling and occupational guidance note lung irritation and hazards from handling butane. Breathing exposure can worsen asthma or cause breathing trouble, especially in children or sensitive people.

Confidence: HIGH

benzocaine

⚠️5/10

For adults: benzocaine is a topical numbing medicine that can work well but has safety limits. Some governments restrict or ban it for cosmetic use. Most adults tolerate it, but it can sometimes cause skin irritation, allergic reactions, or — rarely — a serious blood problem that reduces oxygen.

Banned - Health Canada and the EU Cosmetics Directive list benzocaine as banned or unsafe for use in cosmetics. Those official bans mean regulators found reasons to restrict this ingredient in products applied to the skin.

Cancer - The International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) reports limited evidence that benzocaine may be linked to cancer. That means some studies raise concern that long‑term exposure could raise cancer risk.

Absorbed - The ingredient record flags enhanced skin absorption, and agencies (ECHA and the U.S. National Library of Medicine) note limited evidence of dermal toxicity or allergic reactions. This shows benzocaine can get through skin and enter the body, which can matter for small children.

Confidence: HIGH

menthol

✅3/10

For adults: Menthol is commonly used on the skin to give a cooling feeling. Most adults can use products with low amounts of menthol without problems, but it can cause skin irritation or allergic reactions in some people.
