Ingredients Analysis (11 found)

fragrance (natural)

🚨6/10

Fragrance natural can contain allergens and irritants not fully disclosed. Babies 0-6 months have sensitive skin so caution is advised in topical products.

Confidence: HIGH

polysorbate 20

⚠️5/10

For infants (newborns, babies 0–6 months): this ingredient is often used to help mix water and oil in wipes and creams. It is not known to be highly toxic, but baby skin is very sensitive and there have been concerns about trace contaminants from manufacturing.

Cancer - The ingredient entry flags high contamination concerns for ethylene oxide and 1,4‑dioxane—impurities that are linked to cancer risk. The industry safety review and ingredient notes also highlight these contamination issues and the need to control manufacturing impurities, so cancer risk comes from those contaminants rather than the pure ingredient itself.

Long-Term Risk - Safety notes point to data gaps and that safety assessments rely on reported ‘as used’ concentrations and manufacturing controls. Because the main concern is contamination by chemicals that can build up with repeated exposure, there is a possible long-term health risk if products contain such impurities over time.

Confidence: MEDIUM

bentonite

⚠️4/10

For newborns and babies 0–6 months, bentonite (a clay used in creams and masks) is generally low risk in laboratory reviews, but because clays can carry impurities and may dry or irritate very young skin, it should be used with extra care.

Banned - A formal industry safety review (Cosmetic Ingredient Review, CIR) recommends limits and product-type restrictions for bentonite. The ingredient record also flags that some verified product programs will not allow this ingredient without proof it is safe. Because of these formal use limits, some products may ban or heavily restrict bentonite.

Brain Development - The ingredient record lists lead as a contamination concern. Lead is hazardous to young children's brain growth and learning, so any lead contamination in bentonite is a real risk if babies or children are exposed.

Builds Up - The ingredient record flags lead as a contaminant. Lead can build up in the body over time with repeated exposure, so repeated use of a product with contaminated bentonite could cause accumulation.

Long-Term Risk - The Cosmetic Ingredient Review (CIR) notes data gaps and that safety assessments rely on reported maximum use levels. This uncertainty means long-term effects from repeated use are not fully known.

Confidence: MEDIUM

chamomilla recutita (matricaria) flower extract

⚠️4/10

For infants (0–6 months): chamomile flower extract is usually low risk for adults, but babies’ skin is much more sensitive. It can sometimes cause a rash or allergic reaction, so avoid using it routinely on newborns or very young babies.

No Known Risk - Major safety reviews find only low or unclear concerns. A cosmetic safety panel says this chamomile extract is generally safe in products when used with limits, and the European chemicals agency notes only limited evidence of skin allergy. A few small human studies and a review reported unclear (equivocal) findings for nerve or pregnancy effects, but the data are not strong. No health concern here is rated above low.

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 extract

✅3/10

For newborns and infants (0–6 months) this ingredient is usually low risk and is often used to soothe skin. However, baby skin is delicate, and there are some gaps in safety data and a small chance of irritation or allergy.

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

sodium bicarbonate

✅2/10

For newborns and young babies (0–6 months), sodium bicarbonate is generally low risk when used in small amounts in products made for babies. It is widely used in foods and cosmetics and is considered unlikely to cause long-term harm. Because babies have very sensitive, thin skin and tend to put things in their mouths, we stay extra cautious.

No Known Risk - Government and industry safety reviews find no clear hazards for normal topical use. The U.S. FDA allows limited food uses; Environment Canada says it is not expected to be toxic or to build up in the body; an industry safety panel notes some data gaps and sets safe use limits but does not identify a health risk when used as intended. Based on these assessments, there are no known health risks for typical topical use.

Confidence: HIGH

tapioca starch

✅2/10

For newborns and babies 0–6 months, tapioca starch is generally low risk on the skin but needs extra care because it is a fine powder. The chance of skin harm is small, but powders can irritate eyes or be breathed into tiny lungs.

Confidence: MEDIUM

zea mays (corn) starch

✅2/10

Zea Mays Starch is corn starch used as an absorbent in baby products generally safe but rare allergy risk in infants

No Known Risk - Corn starch is widely used in baby powders and topical products, and current research does not show any significant health risks when used on intact skin. It is generally considered safe for topical use on babies, with no evidence linking it to irritation, hormone disruption, cancer, or other long-term health effects. However, care should be taken to avoid inhalation of powders, but for topical use, there are no known risks.

Confidence: HIGH

kaolin

✅1/10

Kaolin is generally safe for babies and newborns (0–6 months) when used on the skin in creams, diaper pastes, or washes. It is a gentle clay that helps control moisture and soothe irritation.

No Known Risk - Government safety reviews find kaolin is not expected to be harmful to organs, is a low human-health priority, does not build up in the body, and is not considered an environmental toxin. Some product verification programs do require extra proof before allowing it, but current safety assessments do not identify real health risks for children from topical use.
