Ingredients Analysis (14 found)

Ethylhexylglycerin

⚠️4/10

For newborns and infants (0–6 months): this ingredient is not among the most dangerous, but it can sometimes cause skin or eye irritation and has been linked to allergic rashes in people. Because babies have very delicate skin, we recommend being careful.

Irritant - The ingredient is classed as an irritant by EU hazard labeling and safety reviewers. Animal studies also show skin, eye and lung irritation. That means it can cause redness, stinging, sore eyes, or breathing discomfort if used on or near a child’s skin or eyes.

Immune system - Human case reports and safety reviews describe allergic contact dermatitis from this ingredient and call it a relevant sensitizer in some cosmetics. This shows it can trigger allergic reactions in sensitive children.

Eczema - Because there are human reports of allergic contact dermatitis, this ingredient can start or make eczema and similar skin rashes worse in children who are sensitive.

Asthma - Animal studies reviewed by safety assessors show respiratory irritation at moderate doses. If the ingredient is inhaled (for example from sprays), it could make breathing issues or asthma worse in susceptible children.

Organ Risk - Safety assessments and animal studies report liver effects at low doses and limited eye toxicity. These findings point to possible harm to organs with repeated or higher exposure.

Confidence: MEDIUM

Phytic Acid

⚠️4/10

For infants (newborns and babies 0–6 months): phytic acid is generally low risk for most people, but baby skin is very delicate and can be more easily irritated or absorb ingredients. Because of that, it’s safer to avoid phytic acid in products you put on a baby’s skin whenever possible.

Hormones - A safety review found studies where this ingredient changed hormone activity at low doses. This means it may affect natural hormone development in babies or children (source: Cosmetic Ingredient Review).

Organ Risk - A European chemical agency classified it as potentially harmful to organs with repeated exposure, though another regulator gave a more benign view. Because one major regulator flagged organ toxicity, there is a real risk to organs like the liver or kidneys if exposure is high or repeated (source: European Chemicals Agency).

Absorbed - A cosmetic safety review notes this ingredient can be absorbed through the skin. That means what is put on the skin can get into the body, so other risks (like hormone or organ effects) are more relevant (source: Cosmetic Ingredient Review).

Confidence: MEDIUM

Potassium Sorbate

⚠️4/10

For newborns and infants (0–6 months), potassium sorbate is usually low risk for causing illness systemically, but it can cause skin allergies or irritation. Babies have very delicate skin, so we are extra careful with this ingredient.

Immune system - A cosmetic safety review (Cosmetic Ingredient Review) found strong evidence that potassium sorbate can cause allergic reactions in human skin. That means some children could have immune system responses (contact allergy) if their skin touches products with this ingredient.

Irritant - A safety assessment by a cosmetic review panel lists potassium sorbate as a human skin toxicant or allergen. This supports a real risk of skin redness, itching, or rashes when used on sensitive or damaged skin.

Eczema - Because this ingredient is shown to be a skin allergen, it can trigger or make eczema and similar skin conditions worse in people who are sensitive.

Confidence: HIGH

Propanediol

⚠️4/10

For newborns and babies (0-6 months) propanediol is not usually thought to be highly toxic, but it can make skin absorb other things more and has been linked to skin irritation in some studies. Because babies’ skin is very delicate, I recommend being cautious.

Irritant - Propanediol has been linked to skin, eye, or lung irritation. It is listed as a skin irritant by the U.S. National Library of Medicine, and both the European chemical regulator and a cosmetics safety review report limited evidence of irritation. This means it can cause redness, itching or rashes—especially on sensitive baby skin.

Absorbed - Propanediol is noted as a penetration enhancer by the Cosmetic Ingredient Review. That means it can help itself or other ingredients move through the skin and into the body, increasing the chance of absorption into the bloodstream.

Confidence: MEDIUM

Hydroxyacetophenone

✅3/10

For infants (newborns and babies 0-6 months): this ingredient is generally low-risk in adults, but there is limited information for very young babies. A few people have had skin reactions to it, and some regulatory data note mild irritation and low-level organ system concerns. Because babies’ skin is delicate, extra caution is recommended.

Confidence: MEDIUM

Punica Granatum Sterols

✅3/10

For infants (newborns and babies 0–6 months), pomegranate sterols used on the skin appear low risk in general but there is little direct testing in this age group. Because infant skin is very sensitive, we treat new ingredients with extra caution.

No Known Risk - Available safety information for pomegranate sterols used on skin shows only low-level concerns for cancer, allergies/immune effects, and reproductive/developmental effects. A cosmetic ingredient review group provided only informational guidance and no bans or higher-level warnings were listed. No stronger hazards were identified for typical topical use.

Confidence: LOW

Sorbitan Olivate

✅3/10

For infants (0–6 months): Sorbitan Olivate is an oil-based emulsifier with a low overall hazard rating. When used in small amounts inside products made for babies, it is likely okay, but newborn skin is delicate so extra caution is sensible.

No Known Risk - Reviewed safety information shows only low-level concerns for cancer, allergies/immune effects, and reproductive or developmental effects. An industry safety panel (Cosmetic Ingredient Review) notes data gaps and recommends limits on concentration or product types, but did not identify higher-level hazards for normal topical use. Based on that, there are no known health risks above low at typical use.

Confidence: MEDIUM

Sodium Carbomer

✅3/10

For infants (0-6 months): Carbomer is a common ingredient used to thicken creams and wipes. By itself it is not known to be dangerous and does not easily get into the body, but babies have very delicate skin so we treat it cautiously.

Confidence: MEDIUM

Cetearyl Olivate

✅2/10

For newborns and babies 0–6 months, cetearyl olivate (an olive‑derived skin conditioner) is generally low risk when it’s in products made for infants and used on normal, unbroken skin. There is a small chance it could irritate very sensitive skin.

No Known Risk - Safety reviews by cosmetic experts find this ingredient safe for skin use. No moderate or high health concerns were identified for children. There are only small notes about possible mild irritation for some people and standard limits on how it is used, but these are low-level and not seen as a real health risk.

Confidence: MEDIUM

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

Squalane

✅2/10

Squalane is a mild oil that helps moisturize a newborn’s skin and is usually well tolerated. For most babies it is low risk, but because infants are very small and still developing, we recommend cautious use.

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

Ceramide NP

✅1/10

For newborns and babies (0–6 months), Ceramide NP is generally very low risk. It is a skin-like fat that helps moisturize and repair the skin, and most safety notes rate it as low concern. However, infants have thinner, more sensitive skin, so we should be careful.

No Known Risk - Authoritative reviews and studies do not identify any health hazards above a low level for typical topical use. A cosmetic safety review notes only guidance/restrictions for use, a European chemicals authority reported limited evidence of mild irritation, and scientific papers note this ingredient can increase skin penetration and produced allergenic responses only at high doses in animal tests. Taken together, there are no higher-than-low concerns for children when this ingredient is used as intended.

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
