Ingredients Analysis (24 found)

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
fragrance
🚨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
arachidyl glucoside
⚠️4/10
For newborns and young babies, this ingredient is usually low risk but not completely without concern. A few people have had allergic skin reactions, and this ingredient can make skin absorb other things more easily. Because baby skin is very delicate, we take a cautious approach.
Immune system - Multiple human case reports and patch-test studies have shown allergic or immune reactions to this ingredient, meaning some people can have immune responses when their skin is exposed (reported in published case studies).
Eczema - Published patient reports and patch-testing link this ingredient to allergic contact dermatitis, which can trigger or make eczema and related rashes worse in sensitive children.
Absorbed - A safety review by an industry safety panel lists this ingredient as a penetration enhancer, so it can help other ingredients penetrate the skin and reach the bloodstream.
Fertility - Animal studies summarized in the scientific literature report male reproductive effects at moderate doses, indicating a possible risk to reproductive health with substantial exposure.
Confidence: MEDIUM
dimethicone
⚠️4/10
Safety information not properly formatted for easy understanding
Builds Up - Regulators have said some forms are persistent and can bioaccumulate in people and wildlife. A REACH substance evaluation and Environment Canada findings name persistence and bioaccumulation as a concern, so this ingredient (or its related siloxanes) can build up over time.
Environmental - Environment Canada flagged this chemistry as suspected to harm the environment. The same evaluations note persistence in wildlife, meaning it can stay in nature and affect animals and ecosystems.
Organ Risk - An assessment by Environment Canada classified non-reproductive organ system toxicity as a concern, meaning repeated exposure may harm organs (for example, liver or kidneys) according to that regulator.
Banned - Some related siloxanes listed as contaminants (for example, cyclopentasiloxane / cyclotetrasiloxane and similar substances) have been heavily restricted by regulators under REACH and by other national reviews. Industry safety reviews also recommend limits or product-type restrictions.
Long-Term Risk - Because parts of this class are persistent and regulators and industry panels recommend use limits, there is a potential for long-term harms from repeated use or environmental build-up, as noted in REACH and Cosmetic Ingredient Review summaries.
Confidence: MEDIUM
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
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
behenyl alcohol
3/10
For newborns and very young babies (0–6 months), behenyl alcohol is generally considered low risk in adults and older children, but there is very little specific information for infants. A small number of reports note rare skin allergy and some limited concern about breathing irritation. Because babies’ skin and lungs are more sensitive, it’s safest to be cautious.
Confidence: MEDIUM
c12-20 alkyl glucoside
3/10
For newborns and infants (0–6 months), this ingredient is generally used as a gentle cleanser and is considered low risk for most people. Still, some people can have irritation or allergic reactions, and baby skin is more sensitive than adult skin, so a bit more care is wise.
Confidence: MEDIUM
c14-22 alcohols
3/10
For infants and newborns (0-6 months), C14-22 Alcohols are fatty ingredients used to soften and thicken creams. They are generally low risk and usually do not cause trouble, but baby skin is more delicate and there’s limited testing specifically in very young babies, so use a little extra caution.
No Known Risk - The provided safety summary for this topical ingredient lists only low-level concerns (cancer, allergies/immunity, developmental or reproductive effects, and use limits). No higher-level or ingredient-specific hazards were identified for skin use, so no known health risks were flagged.
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
hydroxyethyl urea
3/10
Hydroxyethyl urea is a moisturizing ingredient that experts generally consider low risk for adults. For infants (newborns and babies under 6 months) there is little specific testing, so while risk appears low, we recommend being careful because baby skin is more sensitive.
No Known Risk - Safety reviews by an independent cosmetic safety panel found no health concerns above a low level. The panel concluded the ingredient is safe for cosmetic use when formulated correctly and at appropriate concentrations, and common concerns such as cancer, reproductive harm, and allergies were all rated low. Irritation was noted but not found to be above low. Because no issue exceeded a low concern in the available safety assessments, there are no known higher-level risks.
Confidence: LOW
p-anisic acid
3/10
For infants (0–6 months): overall this ingredient appears to be low risk in adults, but there is little specific information for newborns and very young babies. Because baby skin and breathing are more sensitive, extra caution is recommended.
Confidence: LOW
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
arachidyl alcohol
2/10
For newborns and young babies (0–6 months), Arachidyl Alcohol is generally low risk. It’s a fatty ingredient used to soften skin and thicken creams. Most safety reviews find little concern for cancer, allergy, or long-term harm, but one review flagged possible environmental harm.
Confidence: HIGH
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
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
jojoba oil
2/10
Simmondsia Chinensis Seed Oil is jojoba oil used as a moisturizer generally safe but rare allergies possible in infants under 6 months
No Known Risk - Jojoba oil is widely regarded as safe for topical use on babies and is not linked to irritation, hormone disruption, cancer, or other health risks based on current research.
