Ingredients Analysis (11 found)

Sebacate
⚠️4/10
Sebacate is not a recognized ingredient name it may be a misreading or typo possibly referring to sebacate salts which are used as emollients but unclear here
Confidence: HIGH
Magnesium Stearate
✅3/10
For newborns and infants (0-6 months): magnesium stearate is commonly used in creams and powders and is seen as low concern for most people. However, there is limited specific safety testing in newborns, so extra caution is recommended.
No Known Risk - Government and industry safety reviews say this ingredient poses low concern. The U.S. food agency lists it as safe for limited food use, Environment Canada calls it not expected to be toxic and a low human-health priority, and the cosmetic safety panel reviewed it (with some data gaps). Taken together, these sources show no clear health risks for typical topical use.
Confidence: LOW
Octyldodecanol
✅3/10
For infants (newborns and babies 0–6 months), octyldodecanol is generally low risk for long‑term harms but can cause skin or eye irritation in some people. Because baby skin is very delicate, there's a higher chance of a reaction compared with older children or adults.
Confidence: HIGH
Glycerin
✅2/10
For newborns and infants (0–6 months): glycerin is a common, mild moisturizer found in many baby lotions and wipes. When used at normal levels in products made for babies, it is usually safe and well tolerated.
Confidence: HIGH
Polyglyceryl-4 Diisostearate
✅2/10
For newborns and young babies (0-6 months) this ingredient is considered low risk. It helps keep creams and lotions feeling smooth and mixed together. Because baby skin is very delicate, we recommend being careful even with low-risk ingredients.
No Known Risk - Safety reviews for this skin ingredient report low concern across cancer, allergy/immune effects, developmental and reproductive effects, and show no special use restrictions. In plain terms, the available data do not point to any real health risks for typical topical use. If your child has very sensitive skin or a known allergy, patch-test or check with a clinician.
Confidence: MEDIUM
Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride
✅1/10
This ingredient is a gentle, lightweight oil used to moisturize skin. For newborns and babies (0–6 months) it is generally safe when used in normal baby lotions or wipes.
Confidence: HIGH
Panthenol
✅1/10
Panthenol (provitamin B5) is generally safe for infants and newborns. It helps moisturize and soothe baby skin and is rarely irritating. Studies and government reviews do not show it to be toxic when used on skin.
No Known Risk - Health and regulatory reviews (including Canadian and U.S. assessments and industry safety panels) find panthenol has no reported hazards above a low level for topical use. It is not expected to harm organs, does not appear to build up in the body or the environment, and common concerns (cancer, allergies, reproductive effects) were rated low. There are some industry notes about safe use levels and a few data gaps, but no higher-level health risks were identified.
Confidence: HIGH
Polyhydroxystearate
✅1/10
For newborns and babies 0-6 months, polyhydroxystearate is generally considered low risk. It’s used to keep oil and water mixed in creams and lotions and usually does not cause harm in baby skincare products.
No Known Risk - Current safety reviews report only low-level concerns for cancer, allergies, and reproductive effects, and there are no bans or strong health warnings. A voluntary product-verification program may restrict this ingredient without extra safety proof, but that is about product standards rather than a proven health hazard. Based on available assessments, no real child health risks have been identified.
Confidence: HIGH
Shea Butter
✅1/10
Butyrospermum Parkii Shea Butter is a natural fat used as an emollient in baby products. It is very safe and commonly used in baby lotions and wipes for 0-6 months babies.
No Known Risk - Shea butter is widely used in baby skincare products and is generally considered safe for topical use. There is no strong evidence linking it to irritation, allergies, hormone disruption, or other health risks in babies. Rare allergic reactions may occur, but these are uncommon and not specific to infants. Current research and regulatory guidance do not identify any significant risks for babies when shea butter is used topically.
Confidence: HIGH
Zinc Oxide
✅1/10
Generally safe for topical use on 0 to 6 month babies, commonly used in diaper rash creams and barrier lotions, with minimal absorption through intact skin
Confidence: HIGH
Water
✅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
