Ingredients Analysis (9 found)

Hexamethyldisiloxane

🚨6/10

Hexamethyldisiloxane is a volatile silicone solvent not approved for infant skin use may cause irritation or absorption concerns

Irritant - Hexamethyldisiloxane can cause mild skin and eye irritation, especially with prolonged or repeated topical exposure, which may be more pronounced on sensitive baby skin.

Confidence: HIGH

Vitamin A Palmitate

⚠️5/10

Vitamin A Palmitate is a retinoid and may cause skin irritation or absorption risks in infants likely used as an antioxidant

Absorbed - Vitamin A Palmitate can be absorbed through the skin, especially if applied to broken or sensitive skin, and may enter the bloodstream.

Organ Risk - Excessive topical or oral vitamin A exposure has been linked to toxicity, which can affect the liver and other organs, though this is more likely with high doses or chronic use.

Long-Term Risk - Chronic excessive exposure to vitamin A (including palmitate form) can lead to toxicity and long-term health effects, especially in infants and young children.

Confidence: HIGH

Vitamin D3

⚠️5/10

For newborns and babies up to 6 months, topical vitamin D3 is generally low risk when used in small amounts or in products made for babies. But because infants’ skin is thinner and some countries limit its use in cosmetics, be careful and avoid using it regularly unless a doctor suggests it.

Banned - Health Canada says use is restricted in Canadian cosmetics and the EU cosmetics rules list it as banned or unsafe for use. That means some governments limit or forbid this ingredient in products.

Organ Risk - Environment Canada lists it as a medium human-health priority for non-reproductive organ effects, so there is a low-to-moderate concern it could affect organs with repeated or high exposures.

Absorbed - EU GHS workplace rules set very low allowed exposures for this substance, which shows it can enter the body during handling and be harmful if people are exposed at higher levels.

Environmental - Environment Canada flags this as an uncertain environmental toxin, meaning it may pose risks to the environment though the data are not clear.

Confidence: MEDIUM

White Petrolatum

⚠️5/10

Usually okay for infants when very pure and used sparingly as a moisture barrier, but purity matters a lot at this age.

Banned - In the EU, this ingredient is restricted unless it is very pure, because it can carry PAH leftovers from oil. This rule comes from the EU Cosmetics Directive.

Organ Risk - Canada’s environmental health agency lists it as expected to be harmful and a high health priority. With repeat use, it may stress organs like the liver.

Builds Up - Studies in people (2015) and in lab rats (2017) found mineral oil parts can collect in body tissues over time. Small daily amounts can add up.

Long-Term Risk - Because it can build up in the body and may carry PAH impurities, risks can grow with years of use. Purity limits in the EU were set to lower this risk.

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

Light Mineral Oil

⚠️4/10

Mineral oil is a common baby moisturizer and can protect skin, but for newborns and babies 0–6 months there are some reasons to be careful. Studies and regulatory reviews have noted possible buildup of some mineral-oil components in body tissues and some people can have allergic or breathing reactions.

Immune system - There is evidence that mineral oil can act as an allergen or harm the immune system. Health review groups and medical literature list it as a possible immune or allergic toxicant, and workplace guidance notes strong evidence for immune effects in people.

Asthma - Mineral oil has been identified as a human respiratory allergen/toxicant, which means it can make breathing problems or asthma worse for some people. Occupational health sources report strong links to respiratory effects.

Organ Risk - Regulatory health assessments classify mineral oil as expected to be toxic or harmful to organs with repeated exposure, and list it as a medium human health priority for non-reproductive organ effects.

Builds Up - Research studies found mineral oil hydrocarbons accumulating in animal and human tissues, showing this ingredient can build up in the body over time.

Absorbed - Because mineral oil hydrocarbons have been measured inside body tissues, they can be absorbed into the body from topical use and not stay only on the skin.

Long-Term Risk - Given its tendency to accumulate in tissues and classifications showing organ toxicity concern, there is a potential for long-term health effects with repeated exposure over time.

Confidence: MEDIUM

Lanolin

✅3/10

Lanolin is generally safe as a moisturizer but may cause allergic reactions in sensitive infants especially under 6 months

Confidence: HIGH

Microcrystalline Wax

✅3/10

For newborns and infants (0–6 months) this wax is generally low risk but we are more cautious because some studies show mineral oil/wax components can build up in body tissues. A little occasional use on healthy skin is unlikely to cause problems, but regular heavy use or use on broken skin is not recommended for babies.

Confidence: MEDIUM

Zinc Oxide

✅1/10

Generally safe for topical use on 0 to 6 month babies, commonly used in diaper rash creams and barrier lotions, with minimal absorption through intact skin

Confidence: HIGH
