Ingredients Analysis (8 found)

hydrogenated castor oil
3/10
For newborns and infants (0-6 months), this ingredient is usually low risk but infants have very sensitive skin. Most people do not have problems, but rare allergic skin reactions have been reported.
Confidence: MEDIUM
paraffin
3/10
For infants (0-6 months): Paraffin is generally considered low risk, but because baby skin is very delicate and can absorb or trap things more easily, it’s best to be careful. Some studies and government reviews have found that paraffin/mineral oil components can build up in the body after repeated use.
Confidence: MEDIUM
synthetic beeswax
3/10
For newborns and babies up to 6 months, synthetic beeswax is not strongly linked to cancer or allergies, but there are concerns about contamination (tiny amounts of industrial-type chemicals called PAHs). Because babies’ skin is delicate and they often put hands and faces in their mouths, we recommend being cautious.
Confidence: MEDIUM
tocopherol
3/10
For newborns and babies (0–6 months): tocopherol (vitamin E) is usually low risk when used in small amounts on the skin, but baby skin is very delicate. There are some safety notes about possible contamination and a rare chance of skin allergy, so take extra care with infants and newborns.
Confidence: MEDIUM
castor seed oil
2/10
Ricinus Communis Seed Oil is castor oil used as an emollient generally safe for baby skin but rare allergies possible
Confidence: HIGH
shea butter
2/10
Shea butter is generally safe as a moisturizer but rare allergies are possible in infants under 6 months
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
soybean oil
2/10
Glycine soja soybean oil is a common emollient in baby care products but may rarely cause allergy in sensitive infants
No Known Risk - Soybean oil is widely used in topical products and is generally considered safe for baby skin. There is no strong evidence linking topical soybean oil to irritation, hormone disruption, or other health risks in babies based on current research.
Confidence: HIGH
coconut oil
1/10
Coconut oil is generally safe for infant skin and is used as a moisturizer but monitor for rare allergies
No Known Risk - Coconut oil is widely used topically for babies and is generally considered safe. There is no strong evidence linking it to irritation, allergies, hormone disruption, cancer, or other health risks when used on healthy baby skin. Rare allergic reactions are possible, but not common enough to warrant a risk label based on current research.
Confidence: HIGH
