Ingredients Analysis (23 found)

capramido-propyl 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
plant-derived fragrance
🚨6/10
Plant derived fragrance is a vague term that may contain allergens or irritants not fully disclosed making it risky for 0-6 month babies in topical products like shampoo and bodywash
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
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
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
glycerint
⚠️4/10
Cannot understand what glycerint is it might be a misreading or a typo possibly meant glycerin
Confidence: HIGH
capryl
⚠️4/10
Capryl is not a recognized ingredient name it may be a misreading or typo possibly referring to caprylyl or caprylic acid
Confidence: HIGH
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
chamomilla recutita
✅3/10
Chamomile extract is generally safe but may cause rare allergic reactions in sensitive infants used for soothing and anti inflammatory effects
Confidence: MEDIUM
disodium cocoamphodiacetate
✅3/10
For newborns and babies (0-6 months) this ingredient is commonly used in gentle cleansers and is considered low risk overall. However, there is some evidence it can irritate skin or eyes in a few people, and infant skin is more sensitive than adult skin.
No Known Risk - Government and cosmetic safety reviewers evaluated this ingredient and did not find evidence of serious harms for normal topical use. A Canadian regulator said it is not expected to be toxic or to build up in the body. European and industry reviewers noted only limited, low evidence for mild skin or eye irritation. No clear links were found to cancer, reproductive harm, organ damage, or environmental toxicity. Because the reported concerns are low or limited, there are no known significant risks for typical use on skin.
Confidence: MEDIUM
hydrolyzed jojoba esters
✅3/10
For infants (0–6 months): this ingredient is commonly used to soften skin and is generally considered low-risk in safety summaries. Still, because newborn and infant skin is very delicate and there are some data gaps and use restrictions noted by safety reviewers, extra caution is advised.
No Known Risk - Reviews by cosmetic safety panels found only low-level concerns and note gaps in data and limits on how much can be used in products. There is no clear evidence showing real harm from normal topical use of this ingredient, so no specific health risks are identified.
Confidence: MEDIUM
persea gratissima
✅3/10
Persea Gratissima Oil is avocado oil used as an emollient minor risk of allergy but generally safe for baby skin in low concentrations
No Known Risk - Avocado oil is generally considered safe for topical use on babies. There is no strong evidence linking it to irritation, allergies, hormone disruption, or other health risks in infants. It is not banned or restricted, and is not associated with long-term or systemic health effects. As with any oil, rare allergic reactions are possible, but these are not common or specific to avocado oil.
Confidence: MEDIUM
undecylenoyl glycine
✅3/10
For infants (0–6 months): this ingredient is generally considered low risk in safety reviews, but there is limited testing in newborns. Babies have very sensitive, thin skin, so extra caution is advised.
No Known Risk - Published safety reviews and regulatory assessments find this ingredient safe for use on skin in cosmetics when used as directed. There is no clear evidence showing it causes hormone disruption, cancer, or long-term harm to a child at normal topical use. Notes of mild irritation and environmental toxicity are limited and not shown to cause health problems when the ingredient is used as intended.
Confidence: MEDIUM
avocado fruit extract
✅2/10
For newborns and infants (0-6 months) this avocado extract is generally low risk and is used to moisturize skin. Babies this age have very delicate skin, so there's a small chance it could cause mild irritation or an allergic reaction.
No Known Risk - Safety reviews from established cosmetic-ingredient sources show only low-level concerns (for cancer, allergies/immune effects, developmental or reproductive effects, and use restrictions) for topical use of avocado fruit extract. No hazards above low were identified, so no specific health risks are flagged for typical topical use.
Confidence: MEDIUM
capryloyl glycine
✅2/10
For infants (0–6 months) this ingredient is likely low risk, but babies’ skin is very thin and sensitive. Products with capryloyl glycine are usually considered safe for adults, but there is limited testing specifically in newborns and very young babies.
No Known Risk - A cosmetic safety review found this ingredient safe for use in products with some use limits, and other checks show only low or unclear signs of irritation. No higher-than-low health concerns (like cancer, hormone or developmental effects) were identified, so there are no real risks for children when the ingredient is used as intended.
Confidence: MEDIUM
caprylyl glycol
✅2/10
For infants (newborns and babies 0–6 months), Caprylyl Glycol is usually low risk when it’s in baby lotions, wipes, or creams at low amounts. Most babies won’t have a problem, but newborn skin is more sensitive so we recommend extra caution.
No Known Risk - Government and industry safety reviews found no clear health hazards for skin use. Tests say it is not likely to build up in the body, not persistent in the environment, and not harmful to organs. Industry reviewers do note limits on how much can be used and some data gaps, but overall the ingredient is rated low concern for topical use.
Confidence: HIGH
cucumber fruit extract
✅2/10
For infants (0–6 months), cucumber fruit extract is generally considered low risk when used on the skin. But there isn’t a lot of research specifically in newborns, and their skin is very sensitive, so we should be careful.
No Known Risk - Available safety information shows no health concerns above a low level. An industry safety review notes only use or manufacturing limits (such as concentration or impurity guidance), while endpoints like cancer, allergy/immunity, and reproductive effects were all rated low. Because no concern was flagged above low, there are no specific risks identified for typical topical use.
Confidence: MEDIUM
cucumis sativus
✅2/10
Cucumis Sativus is cucumber extract used for soothing skin minor concerns for sensitive baby skin but generally safe in low concentrations
No Known Risk - Cucumber extract is generally considered safe for topical use, including on baby skin. There is no strong evidence linking it to irritation, allergies, or any of the listed health risks in babies. It is commonly used in baby skincare products without reported adverse effects.
Confidence: MEDIUM
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 lauroyl oat amino acids
✅2/10
This is a gentle, oat-based cleansing ingredient that is considered low risk. For infants (0-6 months) it is usually safe in rinse-off baby cleansers, but baby skin is extra sensitive so we should be careful.
No Known Risk - Available safety reviews did not find any health concerns above a low level. A cosmetic ingredient safety panel evaluated this ingredient and judged it safe for use in cosmetics with some concentration or use limits; reports of skin, eye, or lung irritation are limited or not fully assessed. For normal topical use on children, no specific hazards were identified.
Confidence: MEDIUM
sodium phytate
✅2/10
For newborns and babies (0–6 months): sodium phytate is a low-risk ingredient used to stabilize products. Because infant skin is thinner and more absorbent than adult skin, we recommend extra caution.
No Known Risk - The available safety summary for this topical ingredient shows only low or limited concerns. Reports note occasional, limited eye/skin/respiratory irritation and one animal study that found tumors only at very high doses; a regulatory review lists low non‑reproductive organ toxicity and some product-use restrictions. No moderate or high level hazards were identified, so no real risks were found in the provided data.
Confidence: MEDIUM
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.
