Ingredients Analysis (13 found)

apple cider vinegar

🚨7/10

For newborns and babies under 6 months, apple cider vinegar on the skin is risky because baby skin is very delicate. It can sting and even burn or irritate their skin.

No Known Risk - A reputable ingredient-review source finds apple cider vinegar to have low concern for cancer, allergies/immune effects, and developmental or reproductive harm for topical use. No use restrictions or higher-level hazards were identified in the review. For most people, normal diluted topical use poses minimal health risk. People with very sensitive skin or open wounds should still use caution and dilute before applying, because any acid can irritate damaged skin.

Confidence: HIGH

pine extract

⚠️5/10

Pine extract may cause skin irritation or allergic reactions in sensitive infants. It is used for fragrance or botanical benefits but should be used with caution in 0-6 month babies.

Irritant - Pine extract contains natural compounds that can cause skin irritation, redness, or rashes, especially on sensitive baby skin.

Clover flower extract is a botanical ingredient with minor allergenic potential but generally safe in topical baby products like shampoo and bodywash for 0-6 months babies.

No Known Risk - Clover Flower Extract is generally considered safe for topical use, with no strong evidence linking it to irritation, hormone disruption, or other health risks in babies. There are no well-documented cases or studies showing adverse effects from its use on baby skin.

Confidence: MEDIUM

✅3/10

Cucurbita pepo seed oil is pumpkin seed oil used as an emollient limited data for infants under 6 months but generally low risk in topical use

No Known Risk - Pumpkin seed oil is generally considered safe for topical use, with no evidence in scientific literature linking it to skin irritation, hormone disruption, cancer, or other health risks in babies. There are no known reports of adverse effects or regulatory warnings for this ingredient when used on baby skin.

Confidence: MEDIUM

dandelion leaf extract

✅2/10

For newborns and infants (0–6 months) this dandelion leaf extract is considered low risk in general ingredient lists, but there is little testing on baby skin. Because baby skin is very sensitive, treat this ingredient cautiously and don’t assume it is harmless.

No Known Risk - The reviewed safety summary shows only low-level concerns (for cancer, allergies/immunity, development/reproduction, and use limits) and no issues above low for topical use. That means no real risks were identified for children when this ingredient is used as intended.

Confidence: LOW

magnesium oil

✅2/10

For newborns and infants (0–6 months), magnesium chloride is generally low risk. It is a basic mineral salt that regulators say is safe at low levels. Because baby skin is very thin and delicate, we still recommend being careful.

No Known Risk - Government reviews find no meaningful hazards for magnesium chloride. The U.S. FDA lists it as safe for certain food uses, and Environment Canada says it is not expected to be toxic, is a low human-health priority, is not likely to build up in the body, and is not an environmental toxin. Common concern areas (cancer, allergies, reproductive/development) are rated low. Based on these findings, no specific health risks are identified for topical use.

Confidence: HIGH

olive fruit oil

✅2/10

Organic olive oil is generally safe for baby skin but may rarely cause irritation or worsen eczema used as moisturizer or emollient

No Known Risk - Olive oil is generally considered safe for topical use on baby skin, with no strong evidence linking it to irritation, eczema, or other health risks in most infants. While some studies suggest it may worsen eczema in predisposed babies, this is not consistent or proven for the general population. There are no known links to hormone disruption, cancer, organ risk, or other listed risks based on current research.

Confidence: HIGH

vegetable cetyl alcohol

✅2/10

For newborns and infants (0–6 months): cetyl alcohol is usually safe when used in small amounts in baby products. It helps creams feel smooth and rarely causes reactions, but baby skin is extra sensitive and some experts want more safety data.

Confidence: MEDIUM

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

guar gum

✅1/10

Organic Guar Gum is a natural thickener and stabilizer generally considered safe for topical use in baby products

No Known Risk - Guar gum is generally recognized as safe for topical use, with no evidence linking it to irritation, sensitization, or other health risks in babies. There are no studies showing it causes harm when used on baby skin.
