Ingredients Analysis (16 found)

LAURETH-2

🚨7/10

For babies 0–6 months (newborns, infants): better to avoid if possible. Laureth-2 can help products foam or mix oil and water, but it can sometimes irritate delicate baby skin and may carry tiny manufacturing residues (like ethylene oxide or 1,4-dioxane).

Cancer - This ingredient can be contaminated with ethylene oxide and 1,4‑dioxane. Public health and chemical safety reviews list those contaminants as carcinogenic or probable carcinogens, so their presence raises a cancer risk if they are in a product applied to skin.

Organ Risk - The same contaminants named for this ingredient are linked by health reviewers to harm to organs (for example liver, kidneys, or lungs) after repeated or high exposure. Because contamination was flagged, there is a real organ-harm concern if those impurities are present.

Long-Term Risk - Contamination with ethylene oxide and 1,4‑dioxane is associated with health effects that appear after repeated or long-term exposure. The flagged contamination means regular use could raise long-term health risks.

Absorbed - This ingredient is used on skin and the listed contaminants can get through skin and into the body. That means contamination can lead to internal exposure, not just surface contact.

Confidence: MEDIUM

FRAGRANCE

🚨6/10

Premium Fragrance Oil is a vague term for fragrance blends that may contain allergens or irritants not disclosed. Fragrances often cause skin sensitivity in babies under 6 months.

Irritant - Fragrance mixtures often contain chemicals that can cause skin irritation, redness, or rashes, especially on sensitive baby skin.

Eczema - Fragrances are known triggers for eczema flare-ups and can worsen symptoms in babies with sensitive or atopic skin.

Asthma - Fragrance chemicals can release volatile organic compounds (VOCs) that may worsen asthma or breathing issues in babies and children.

Hormones - Some fragrance ingredients, such as certain phthalates, are suspected endocrine disruptors that may interfere with hormone development.

Absorbed - Certain fragrance chemicals can be absorbed through the skin and detected in the bloodstream, raising concerns for systemic exposure.

Breast Milk - Some fragrance components, including phthalates, have been detected in breast milk, indicating they can pass from mother to baby.

Banned - Some fragrance ingredients are banned or restricted in the EU and other countries due to health concerns.

Builds Up - Certain fragrance chemicals, such as some phthalates and musks, can accumulate in the body over time with repeated exposure.

Long-Term Risk - Long-term exposure to some fragrance chemicals has been linked to chronic health effects, including hormone disruption and allergic diseases.

Confidence: HIGH

SODIUM LAURETH SULFATE

🚨6/10

For newborns and babies (0–6 months): this ingredient can irritate delicate skin and eyes and may carry small amounts of manufacturing impurities. It’s not the best choice for very young infants.

Irritant - A formal safety review (Cosmetic Ingredient Review) found strong evidence that this ingredient can irritate skin, eyes, and lungs in people. That means babies or children may get redness, stinging, or sore eyes if exposed.

Organ Risk - A government health assessment (Environment Canada) classifies this ingredient as likely to be harmful to body organs with a medium human-health priority. Repeated or heavy exposure could affect organs like the liver or kidneys.

Cancer - Safety checks flag the ingredient for contamination by ethylene oxide and 1,4‑dioxane. These contaminants are known cancer-linked chemicals in regulatory and safety assessments, so contamination raises a cancer concern if present.

Confidence: MEDIUM

COCO-BETAINE

🚨6/10

For infants (0–6 months) this cleansing ingredient is commonly used in washes and wipes but should be used with care. It can sometimes irritate or cause allergic reactions, and some batches can carry trace contaminants. Babies’ skin is more delicate, so caution is advised.

Immune system - Cosmetic safety reviews (Cosmetic Ingredient Review and draft safety reports) report limited evidence that cocamidopropyl betaine can sensitize skin or trigger allergic reactions. That means it can affect the immune system in some people, especially those with sensitive skin.

Irritant - Industry safety assessments note limited evidence of skin sensitization and explicitly warn the ingredient may be unsafe in products left on the skin (not rinsed off). This shows it can cause redness, itching, or irritation for some users.

Eczema - Safety panels and reports observed cases of sensitization and recommend limits on use and product types. Because it can provoke skin reactions, it may trigger or worsen eczema in sensitive children.

Cancer - Regulatory and industry reviews flag contamination concerns for this ingredient, including nitrosamines and related amines. Nitrosamines are known to be carcinogenic, so impurity risks raise a cancer concern unless impurities are controlled as industry reviewers recommend.

Banned - Expert panels and tentative regulatory reports recommend use, concentration, and manufacturing restrictions for this ingredient and note it is unsafe in some product types (leave-on). While not universally banned, it is subject to regulatory or industry limits in some contexts.

Environmental - A national environmental agency (Environment Canada) flagged this ingredient as a suspected environmental toxin, indicating possible harm to ecosystems if released into the environment.

Confidence: MEDIUM

PARFUM

🚨6/10

Parfum is a fragrance mix that can cause irritation or allergic reactions in sensitive babies especially under 6 months. It is common in shampoos and bodywashes for scent.

Confidence: HIGH

DISODIUM EDTA

⚠️5/10

For newborns and infants (0-6 months): this ingredient is often used in tiny amounts to keep products stable. It is not linked to cancer or reproductive problems at normal low levels, but it can irritate skin and eyes and may help other ingredients get through the skin more easily. Because baby skin is very thin, use extra caution.

Irritant - This ingredient is marked as an irritant for skin, eyes, or lungs under EU GHS hazard labeling. The data calls out a high irritation concern, so it can cause redness, stinging, or breathing irritation—especially on sensitive baby skin.

Absorbed - An industry safety review (Cosmetic Ingredient Review, CIR) lists this chemical as a penetration enhancer. That means it can help other things get through the skin and can itself be absorbed into the body.

Organ Risk - Environment Canada has flagged non-reproductive organ-system toxicity for this substance, including notes that it can be harmful and is a medium human-health priority. That suggests repeated or high exposures could affect organs like the liver or kidneys.

Long-Term Risk - Because the ingredient can enhance skin absorption and has non-reproductive organ toxicity listings, repeated use raises concern for longer-term health effects. Industry reviews also note data gaps and concentration limits, meaning long-term safety depends on how much and how often it is used (Cosmetic Ingredient Review).

Confidence: MEDIUM

WATER

⚠️5/10

Water is very safe for 0-6 months babies and is commonly used as a solvent or base in baby shampoos and bodywashes.

Confidence: HIGH

EAU

⚠️5/10

Eau is water in French and is safe for topical use in baby products like shampoo and bodywash for 0-6 months babies.

Confidence: HIGH

CITRIC ACID

⚠️4/10

For newborns and infants (0–6 months), citric acid is generally low risk for long‑term harm but can irritate sensitive baby skin or eyes. It is used to balance acidity in many products, but special care is needed for very young babies.

Banned - Health Canada has placed restrictions on the use, concentration, or manufacturing of citric acid in cosmetics in Canada. An industry safety panel (Cosmetic Ingredient Review) also says safe use depends on product concentration and notes data gaps, so makers must limit or document how they use it. Because of these government and industry limits, some safety-verification programs will not allow this ingredient in products without proof it is used safely.

Confidence: HIGH

METHYLPROPANEDIOL

⚠️4/10

For newborns and infants (0–6 months) this ingredient has low overall toxicity in studies, but it can sometimes irritate skin, eyes or breathing and it can make the skin absorb other ingredients more easily. Because babies’ skin is very delicate, extra caution is recommended.

Irritant - There is limited evidence that this chemical can irritate skin, eyes, or lungs when used on skin. European chemical regulators and a toxicology review report cases of mild skin and eye irritation and possible respiratory irritation, so babies with very sensitive skin could get redness, itching, or breathing discomfort.

Absorbed - A cosmetic safety review identifies this ingredient as a penetration enhancer. That means it can help itself and other ingredients get through the skin and into the body more easily. Because it can boost skin uptake, there is a higher chance that more of a product’s ingredients will enter a child’s body unless limits are set.

Confidence: MEDIUM

PENTYLENE GLYCOL

⚠️4/10

For infants and newborns (0–6 months) pentylene glycol is usually low risk but requires extra care because baby skin is thinner and absorbs more. Most of the time it is safe in small amounts in products, but it can sometimes irritate or very rarely cause an allergic reaction.

Immune system - Human case reports reviewed by a cosmetic safety panel show possible allergic or immune reactions to pentylene glycol. This means some people may have skin or immune responses after using products that contain it.

Absorbed - A formal safety review found pentylene glycol can act as a penetration enhancer, meaning it can help other substances get through the skin and into the body more easily.

Confidence: MEDIUM

PEG-90

⚠️4/10

PEG-90 is not a recognized standard ingredient name it may be a misreading or typo of PEG-90M or similar which are polymers used in cosmetics

Confidence: HIGH

SODIUM CITRATE

✅2/10

For infants and newborns (0–6 months) sodium citrate is likely safe when used in small amounts. It’s used to keep products at the right acidity and to help them stay stable. Most safety data show very low concern for long-term health risks, but baby skin can be extra sensitive.

No Known Risk - Reviewed safety information shows only low-level concerns. U.S. food regulators say it is allowed for some food uses, a cosmetic safety panel notes allowed limits and some data gaps but does not show hazards at normal use, and a national environment agency finds it unlikely to harm organs, build up in the body, or persist in the environment. Because no health concern was reported above low, there are no specific risks identified for typical topical use.

Confidence: HIGH

GLYCERYL ISOSTEARATE

✅2/10

Glyceryl Isostearate is an emollient used for skin conditioning generally considered safe but limited data for 0-6 months so minor concerns

No Known Risk - Glyceryl Isostearate is widely used in topical products and current research and safety assessments do not indicate any significant health risks for babies. It is generally considered safe, with no evidence linking it to irritation, hormone disruption, cancer, or other listed risks when used as directed.

Confidence: MEDIUM

SODIUM CHLORIDE

✅1/10

For infants and newborns (0-6 months) this ingredient is generally safe when used in the small amounts found in baby wipes, creams, and saline drops. It is the same simple salt used in food and is not considered toxic in these low amounts.

No Known Risk - Regulatory reviews flag no meaningful health hazards for topical use. Food and health authorities list it as safe for limited use, and environmental assessments find it unlikely to harm organs, build up in the body, or damage wildlife. Overall expert sources rate concerns as low across cancer, allergies, development, and use restrictions.

Confidence: HIGH

AQUA

✅0/10

Water is very safe for a newborn’s or baby’s skin. Tests and regulatory reviews find no meaningful health risks from water used on the skin.

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
