Ingredients Analysis (23 found)

benzyl salicylate
🚫9/10
For infants (0–6 months): benzyl salicylate is not recommended. It is a fragrance ingredient that commonly causes allergic skin reactions and there are concerns about contamination with salicylates and some signals from lab and animal studies.
Immune system - Multiple safety assessments list this ingredient as a known human allergen or immune toxicant (noted by the EU cosmetics rules, the U.S. EPA, and industry safety panels). That means it can cause allergic or immune reactions in people, so it is a real risk for sensitive children.
Eczema - Regulatory and industry findings show this chemical can cause skin allergy or dermatitis (noted by the EU cosmetics framework and chemical safety reviews). For babies with sensitive or atopic skin, it can trigger or make eczema and similar skin rashes worse.
Environmental - A national environmental assessment flagged this substance as a suspected environmental toxin, and contamination notes list salicylic acid as a possible impurity. That means there is concern it could harm wildlife or the environment if released.
Confidence: HIGH
benzyl alcohol
🚫8/10
For newborns and babies 0–6 months: this ingredient has a higher risk of causing allergic skin reactions and irritation. Because infants absorb more through their skin, it’s safer to avoid benzyl alcohol in baby skin products when you can.
Immune system - Benzyl alcohol is a known human allergen with strong evidence of immune effects. Regulators and scientific reviews list it as an allergenic or immunotoxicant and there are human case reports of allergic reactions, so it can trigger immune responses in children.
Eczema - There are strong reports and regulatory listings showing benzyl alcohol can cause allergic skin reactions. Because of this, it can trigger or make eczema and similar rashes worse on sensitive baby skin.
Irritant - There is documented evidence of skin and eye irritation from benzyl alcohol (including agency evaluations of irritation), so it can cause redness, stinging, or rashes—especially on sensitive or infant skin.
Organ Risk - Government hazard classifications and peer-reviewed sources have identified benzyl alcohol as toxic or harmful to organ systems at some exposures. These classifications indicate repeated or higher exposures could affect organs (for example liver or kidneys).
Confidence: HIGH
phenoxyethanol
🚨7/10
For infants (0–6 months): be careful. This preservative can irritate delicate baby skin and some countries limit how it’s used. It is not known to cause cancer or birth defects at normal cosmetic levels, but irritation is the main concern.
Irritant - Official hazard listings show this chemical can cause skin, eye, and lung irritation. Regulators classify it as an irritant, so it can make skin red or itchy and bother the eyes or breathing passages.
Asthma - Because it can irritate the lungs, it may make asthma or breathing problems worse. Workplace and hazard listings note lung irritation and limits on inhalation exposure.
Organ Risk - There is limited evidence that it can affect the nervous system and it is listed as toxic/harmful in official hazard codes. That means repeated or high exposures could harm organs like the nervous system.
Absorbed - Safety reviews and workplace data note systemic effects tied to how it is used, and nervous-system findings suggest the chemical can get into the body after skin or workplace exposure.
Banned - Some governments set limits on its use in cosmetics (for example, concentration limits from national health authorities), and some product standards require special proof before it can be used.
Confidence: MEDIUM
cocamidopropyl betaine
🚨6/10
For infants (0–6 months) this cleansing ingredient is commonly used in washes and wipes but should be used with care. It can sometimes irritate or cause allergic reactions, and some batches can carry trace contaminants. Babies’ skin is more delicate, so caution is advised.
Immune system - Cosmetic safety reviews (Cosmetic Ingredient Review and draft safety reports) report limited evidence that cocamidopropyl betaine can sensitize skin or trigger allergic reactions. That means it can affect the immune system in some people, especially those with sensitive skin.
Irritant - Industry safety assessments note limited evidence of skin sensitization and explicitly warn the ingredient may be unsafe in products left on the skin (not rinsed off). This shows it can cause redness, itching, or irritation for some users.
Eczema - Safety panels and reports observed cases of sensitization and recommend limits on use and product types. Because it can provoke skin reactions, it may trigger or worsen eczema in sensitive children.
Cancer - Regulatory and industry reviews flag contamination concerns for this ingredient, including nitrosamines and related amines. Nitrosamines are known to be carcinogenic, so impurity risks raise a cancer concern unless impurities are controlled as industry reviewers recommend.
Banned - Expert panels and tentative regulatory reports recommend use, concentration, and manufacturing restrictions for this ingredient and note it is unsafe in some product types (leave-on). While not universally banned, it is subject to regulatory or industry limits in some contexts.
Environmental - A national environmental agency (Environment Canada) flagged this ingredient as a suspected environmental toxin, indicating possible harm to ecosystems if released into the environment.
Confidence: MEDIUM
fragrance parfum
🚨6/10
Premium Fragrance Oil is a vague term for fragrance blends that may contain allergens or irritants not disclosed. Fragrances often cause skin sensitivity in babies under 6 months.
Irritant - Fragrance mixtures often contain chemicals that can cause skin irritation, redness, or rashes, especially on sensitive baby skin.
Eczema - Fragrances are known triggers for eczema flare-ups and can worsen symptoms in babies with sensitive or atopic skin.
Asthma - Fragrance chemicals can release volatile organic compounds (VOCs) that may worsen asthma or breathing issues in babies and children.
Hormones - Some fragrance ingredients, such as certain phthalates, are suspected endocrine disruptors that may interfere with hormone development.
Absorbed - Certain fragrance chemicals can be absorbed through the skin and detected in the bloodstream, raising concerns for systemic exposure.
Breast Milk - Some fragrance components, including phthalates, have been detected in breast milk, indicating they can pass from mother to baby.
Banned - Some fragrance ingredients are banned or restricted in the EU and other countries due to health concerns.
Builds Up - Certain fragrance chemicals, such as some phthalates and musks, can accumulate in the body over time with repeated exposure.
Long-Term Risk - Long-term exposure to some fragrance chemicals has been linked to chronic health effects, including hormone disruption and allergic diseases.
Confidence: HIGH
peg-150 distearate
🚨6/10
For newborns and infants (0-6 months) this ingredient is something to be careful with. On its own it is not flagged as highly dangerous, but there are worries about possible contaminants and there isn’t much safety testing specifically in babies.
Cancer - Safety reviews flag high contamination concerns for this ingredient. Small impurity molecules named in the ingredient record (ethylene oxide and 1,4‑dioxane) are specifically listed as contaminants of concern by industry and regulatory safety reviews. Those contaminants are linked to cancer risk, so cancer is a real risk to note.
Long-Term Risk - The ingredient record shows a high contamination concern and also notes gaps in the safety assessment used by industry reviewers. Because the worry is about persistent impurities that can cause harm over time, there is a meaningful long‑term health risk if contaminated product is used repeatedly.
Banned - Industry and regulatory safety guidance place limits or restrictions on use of this ingredient and some product‑verification programs will not allow it without proof of safety. Those restrictions mean the ingredient is subject to heavy controls in certain programs and uses.
Confidence: MEDIUM
sodium hydroxide
🚨6/10
For infants and newborns (0–6 months): sodium hydroxide is a strong chemical that can burn or irritate when concentrated. In baby lotions and cleansers it is usually used in tiny amounts to set the product’s acidity and is neutralized in the finished product. Still, because babies have very thin, delicate skin, this ingredient is more worrisome for newborns than for older children or adults.
Banned - This ingredient is restricted for use in cosmetics in some regions. The EU cosmetics rules list limits on its use, and industry safety reviewers say it can only be used safely at certain low concentrations or when specially handled.
Organ Risk - Authorities have flagged possible harm to organs with repeated or high exposures. A national health agency classified it as expected to be toxic or harmful and gave it a medium human-health priority, and a U.S. assessment found toxic effects in animal studies. There is also limited evidence of breathing-related toxicity noted by a medical literature source.
Asthma - There is limited evidence that breathing in this chemical can hurt the lungs or airways. Medical literature notes possible respiratory toxicity, so it could make breathing problems worse if a child is exposed to vapor or mist.
Confidence: HIGH
disodium edta
⚠️5/10
For newborns and infants (0-6 months): this ingredient is often used in tiny amounts to keep products stable. It is not linked to cancer or reproductive problems at normal low levels, but it can irritate skin and eyes and may help other ingredients get through the skin more easily. Because baby skin is very thin, use extra caution.
Irritant - This ingredient is marked as an irritant for skin, eyes, or lungs under EU GHS hazard labeling. The data calls out a high irritation concern, so it can cause redness, stinging, or breathing irritation—especially on sensitive baby skin.
Absorbed - An industry safety review (Cosmetic Ingredient Review, CIR) lists this chemical as a penetration enhancer. That means it can help other things get through the skin and can itself be absorbed into the body.
Organ Risk - Environment Canada has flagged non-reproductive organ-system toxicity for this substance, including notes that it can be harmful and is a medium human-health priority. That suggests repeated or high exposures could affect organs like the liver or kidneys.
Long-Term Risk - Because the ingredient can enhance skin absorption and has non-reproductive organ toxicity listings, repeated use raises concern for longer-term health effects. Industry reviews also note data gaps and concentration limits, meaning long-term safety depends on how much and how often it is used (Cosmetic Ingredient Review).
Confidence: MEDIUM
aqua water eau
⚠️5/10
Aqua Water Eau is simply water, a common solvent in baby products. It is very safe and essential for formulation in shampoo and bodywash for babies.
Confidence: HIGH
citric acid
⚠️4/10
For newborns and infants (0–6 months), citric acid is generally low risk for long‑term harm but can irritate sensitive baby skin or eyes. It is used to balance acidity in many products, but special care is needed for very young babies.
Banned - Health Canada has placed restrictions on the use, concentration, or manufacturing of citric acid in cosmetics in Canada. An industry safety panel (Cosmetic Ingredient Review) also says safe use depends on product concentration and notes data gaps, so makers must limit or document how they use it. Because of these government and industry limits, some safety-verification programs will not allow this ingredient in products without proof it is used safely.
Confidence: HIGH
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
tocopheryl acetate
⚠️4/10
Usually fine in tiny amounts on a newborn’s healthy skin, but infants are extra sensitive. Some babies can react, and there are concerns about tiny impurities in some sources.
Irritant - A cosmetic safety review panel (Cosmetic Ingredient Review) found strong human evidence that this can trigger skin allergy. That means it may cause redness, itch, or rash, especially on sensitive baby skin.
Immune system - Moderate concern for allergy and immune reactions on skin was flagged by a cosmetic safety panel (Cosmetic Ingredient Review). Some kids may have an immune response like hives or swelling.
Absorbed - Tests note enhanced skin absorption for this form of vitamin E. This means a small amount can pass through the skin and enter the body after use.
Long-Term Risk - There is a high concern for a trace impurity (hydroquinone). European health regulators and other agencies restrict that impurity because of safety worries with long-term use.
Environmental - Environment Canada lists it as a suspected environmental toxin, though data are limited. It may harm water life if it builds up in waterways.
Confidence: MEDIUM
aloe barbadensis leaf juice
✅3/10
For newborns and infants (0–6 months): aloe vera leaf juice is usually low risk in small amounts, but babies this young have very sensitive skin. It may cause irritation in some infants and industry safety reviews recommend using it only within set limits.
Confidence: MEDIUM
calendula officinalis 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
coconut fatty acid
✅2/10
For newborns and infants (0–6 months), coconut fatty acid is generally safe when used in small amounts in rinse-off baby shampoos and body washes. Experts consider it a low-risk ingredient, but safety depends on how much is in the final product.

Confidence: HIGH
polyquaternium-10
✅2/10
For newborns and babies (0-6 months): Polyquaternium-10 is usually considered low risk in rinse-off baby products like shampoos, but there is limited information specifically for very young infants. Because babies’ skin is more delicate, we stay cautious.
Confidence: MEDIUM
sodium cocoyl isethionate
✅2/10
For infants and newborns (0-6 months), this is a mild cleansing ingredient often found in baby shampoos and washes. It is low risk for long-term harm but babies have very delicate skin, so we should be careful.
No Known Risk - Reviews by a cosmetic safety review panel and a national environment agency found no significant health hazards. The ingredient is not thought to build up in the body or harm organs, and it is considered safe in products when used at the allowed levels (with different limits for rinse-off versus leave-on products). There are some notes about possible mild irritation and that safety limits are set, but overall no real health risks were identified.
Confidence: MEDIUM
sodium isethionate
✅2/10
For newborns and infants (0-6 months), sodium isethionate is a mild cleanser ingredient and is generally low risk. Reviews from health and cosmetic reviewers say it is not expected to be toxic and has low concern for cancer or reproductive harm. Because babies have very delicate skin and there is limited baby-specific data, we remain cautious.
No Known Risk - Expert reviews and regulatory assessments find no meaningful health hazards for sodium isethionate when used on the skin. A Canadian assessment concluded it is not expected to cause organ harm, is not persistent or likely to build up in the environment, and is not an environmental toxin. A cosmetic safety panel found it safe for use in cosmetics when used within concentration limits. Mild skin or eye irritation has been noted but the overall evidence points to low concern, so no specific health risks are identified for typical topical use.
Confidence: MEDIUM
butyrospermum parkii 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
cocos nucifera coconut oil
✅1/10
Coconut oil is usually safe for newborns and infants (0–6 months) when used a little at a time on normal, unbroken skin. It’s a common natural moisturizer.
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
sodium chloride
✅1/10
For infants and newborns (0-6 months) this ingredient is generally safe when used in the small amounts found in baby wipes, creams, and saline drops. It is the same simple salt used in food and is not considered toxic in these low amounts.
No Known Risk - Regulatory reviews flag no meaningful health hazards for topical use. Food and health authorities list it as safe for limited use, and environmental assessments find it unlikely to harm organs, build up in the body, or damage wildlife. Overall expert sources rate concerns as low across cancer, allergies, development, and use restrictions.
