Ingredients Analysis (13 found)

Lecithin

⚠️5/10

For newborns and babies (0-6 months), lecithin is usually used as an ingredient to help creams and lotions spread. Many people tolerate it, but babies’ skin is delicate and there are signs that some people can have allergic reactions and that products can sometimes be contaminated. Because of that, it is safer to be cautious with lecithin on infant skin.

Immune system - A professional clinic group (AOEC) and published case reports show strong evidence that lecithin can act as an allergen or immune-system irritant in people. That means it can trigger allergic or immune reactions in some children, so watch for rashes, swelling, or breathing trouble.

Asthma - Experts report lecithin as a human respiratory toxicant or allergen (AOEC) and case studies show possible breathing-related reactions. This could make asthma or wheezy breathing worse in sensitive children.

Absorbed - A cosmetic industry safety panel (Cosmetic Ingredient Review, CIR) lists lecithin as a penetration enhancer, meaning it can help other substances get through the skin and into the body. That raises the chance that unwanted chemicals could be absorbed.

Cancer - The ingredient record flags contamination concerns — specifically nitrosamines — at a high level. Nitrosamines are known carcinogens, so contamination raises a potential cancer risk if products contain those impurities.

Environmental - A national agency review (Environment Canada) notes uncertainty about environmental toxicity for this substance. That means it could pose risks to wildlife or ecosystems, though the evidence is unclear.

Confidence: MEDIUM

Rosemary Extract

⚠️5/10

Rosemary extract may cause skin irritation or sensitization in infants under 6 months and is not well studied for this age group. Used as antioxidant or fragrance.

Irritant - Rosemary extract can cause skin irritation, redness, or rashes in sensitive individuals, including babies, especially with repeated or prolonged topical use.

Confidence: MEDIUM

Meadowsweet Flower Extract

✅3/10

Safety information not properly formatted for easy understanding

No Known Risk - Available safety summaries for the topical ingredient show only low-level concerns for cancer, allergies/immunity, and developmental or reproductive effects, with no higher hazards, bans, or use restrictions identified. Because no concern is rated above low, there are no specific health risks to flag based on the current data.

Confidence: MEDIUM

Calendula Flower Extract

✅3/10

For infants (0–6 months): generally low risk when used in small amounts in baby lotions or wipes made for newborn skin. But because it’s a plant extract, some babies can get a skin reaction, especially if they or family members are allergic to daisies/marigolds.

No Known Risk - Safety reviews for this calendula flower extract show only low-level concerns for cancer, allergies, and effects on growth/reproduction. Industry safety panels note limits on how much can be used and say some data are missing, but there is no clear evidence of real harm when used on the skin. Some verified product programs restrict its use unless makers provide extra safety information.

Confidence: MEDIUM

Chamomile Flower Extract

✅3/10

Chamomile extract is generally safe but may cause rare allergic reactions in sensitive infants used for soothing and anti inflammatory effects

Confidence: MEDIUM

Candelilla Wax

✅2/10

For infants (0–6 months) Candelilla wax is generally considered low risk when used on the skin. Most safety reviews find little concern for cancer, allergies, or effects on growth. But there is not much direct research in newborns, so we recommend extra caution.

No Known Risk - Available safety reviews show only low-level concerns for cancer, allergies, and effects on growth or reproduction. No higher-risk findings, bans, or use restrictions were identified in the reviewed assessments, so this topical ingredient is not expected to cause meaningful harm when used on the skin.

Confidence: MEDIUM

Hydrogenated Vegetable Oil

✅2/10

For infants and newborns (0–6 months) this ingredient is generally low risk when used on normal, unbroken skin. It is an emollient (a moisturizing oil) that helps lock in moisture. Safety reviews find low concern for cancer, allergies, and developmental or reproductive effects, and a government assessment did not flag it as toxic. Because there are some industry-noted data gaps about concentration limits and impurities, extra care is wise with very young babies.

No Known Risk - Government review (Environment Canada) found this ingredient is not expected to be toxic and ranked it a low human-health priority. An industry safety panel (Cosmetic Ingredient Review) notes safe use depends on concentration and manufacturing and flagged some data gaps, but did not identify hazards. Checks for cancer, allergies, and reproductive or developmental harm were all rated low. Because no concern above low was found, there are no known risks for typical topical use.

Confidence: HIGH

Watercress Flower/Leaf Extract

✅2/10

Watercress Flower Leaf Extract is a botanical ingredient with antioxidant properties commonly used in skincare. Generally safe but limited data for 0-6 month babies so minor caution advised.

No Known Risk - There is no evidence in current research that topical watercress flower leaf extract poses health risks to babies. It is generally considered safe and is not linked to irritation, hormone disruption, or other listed risks.

Confidence: MEDIUM

Cocoa Seed Butter

✅2/10

Theobroma cacao seed butter is cocoa butter used as a skin emollient minor allergy risk but generally safe for baby skin

No Known Risk - Cocoa butter is widely used in baby products and is generally considered safe for topical use on baby skin.

Confidence: HIGH

Coconut Oil

✅1/10

No Known Risk - Coconut oil is widely used topically for babies and is generally considered safe.

Rare allergic reactions are possible, but not common enough to warrant a risk label based on current research.

Confidence: HIGH

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.
