Ingredients to watch
Sodium Lauryl Sulfate
moderateSodium lauryl sulfate (SLS) is a harsh detergent that strips the skin's natural moisture barrier. It is a known skin irritant and can worsen eczema. Many dermatologists recommend avoiding it in baby products.
Fragrance
moderate"Fragrance" or "parfum" is one of the biggest red flags in personal care — a single term that can include up to 3,000 different chemicals without any required disclosure. Fragrance is the leading cause of contact allergy in cosmetics. Many fragrance compounds are skin sensitizers and potential endocrine disruptors.
PARFUM
moderate"Parfum" is the EU/INCI designation for fragrance — the same concerns apply as with "Fragrance." It covers hundreds of possible chemicals that don't need to be individually listed.
SODIUM BENZOATE
moderateSodium benzoate is a chemical preservative. When combined with vitamin C (ascorbic acid), it can form benzene — a known carcinogen. It is also linked to hyperactivity in children, leading the UK to recommend removing it from children's foods.
yellow 5
moderateYellow 5 (Tartrazine) is a petroleum-derived artificial dye. It requires a warning label in the EU. It is also a known trigger for reactions in people with aspirin sensitivity or asthma.
