Ingredients Analysis (25 found)

honey
🚨6/10
For infants (0-6 months): do not routinely put honey on a baby’s skin. Babies’ skin and immune systems are more sensitive, and there are reports of allergic reactions and some contamination concerns.
Immune system - Honey has been linked to allergy and immune reactions in people. Medical case reports show severe allergic responses (including anaphylaxis) after exposure, and ingredient safety reviews list honey as associated with immunotoxicity or allergies. Because these are real allergic reactions in humans, honey can be a risk for children who are allergic or become sensitized.
Eczema - There are documented human skin cases where honey caused contact urticaria and other allergic skin reactions after use on skin. A clinical case report described skin sensitization from topical use, so honey can trigger or worsen eczema or similar skin problems in sensitive children.
Irritant - Reports of dermal allergic reactions and contact urticaria indicate honey can cause redness, itching or rashes when applied to skin. Safety reviews and case reports support that topical use may irritate sensitive baby skin.
Long-Term Risk - Ingredient reviews note contamination concerns (for example, the heat-formed compound 5‑hydroxymethylfurfural) found in some honey preparations. This kind of contaminant is flagged at a low-to-moderate concern level, so repeated long-term exposure may pose a small additional risk.

Confidence: LOW
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
2-hexanediol
⚠️5/10
2-hexanediol is a synthetic solvent and preservative with limited safety data for infants under 6 months use with caution
Confidence: LOW
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
anhydrous lanolin
✅3/10
Lanolin is generally safe as a moisturizer but may cause allergic reactions in sensitive infants especially under 6 months
Confidence: HIGH
butylene glycol
✅3/10
Butylene glycol is usually safe and helps moisturize and texture products. For newborns and babies (0–6 months) the main worry is skin or eye irritation. Long-term risks are rated low, but babies can have very sensitive skin so extra care is needed.
Confidence: HIGH
carbomer
✅3/10
For infants (0-6 months): Carbomer is a common ingredient used to thicken creams and wipes. By itself it is not known to be dangerous and does not easily get into the body, but babies have very delicate skin so we treat it cautiously.
Confidence: MEDIUM
beeswax white
✅2/10
For infants and newborns (0–6 months), white beeswax is generally considered safe when used in small amounts as part of a simple skin product. Serious problems are uncommon, but a few babies can have an allergic reaction because beeswax comes from bees.
No Known Risk - Safety reviews of white beeswax used on skin show only low-level concerns and no higher-level hazards for cancer, immune or reproductive health when used as intended. Based on available safety information, there are no established health risks for typical topical use.
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
phytosphingosine
✅2/10
For newborns and babies 0–6 months: this ingredient is a natural skin lipid and looks low risk in safety listings. However, studies specifically in very young babies are limited, so we recommend being careful.
No Known Risk - Public safety reviews and ingredient profiles for this topical ingredient rate cancer, allergies/immunity, developmental and reproductive effects, and use restrictions as low. No higher-than-low hazards or specific organ, hormone, brain-development, or long-term risks were found in the available assessments for normal topical use, so there are no identified health risks at this time.
Confidence: MEDIUM
sodium lauroyl lactylate
✅2/10
For infants and newborns (0–6 months), this is a mild cleaning and stabilizing ingredient used in wipes and lotions. It is generally considered low risk, but very young baby skin is delicate and may be a bit more likely to get mild irritation or absorb more of a product.
No Known Risk - Cosmetic safety reviews note only low-level concerns for this topical ingredient. Experts recommend limits on concentration and monitoring impurities, and some product-verification programs require extra proof before they allow it, but no moderate or high health hazards were identified for typical topical use on children.
Confidence: HIGH
taraxacum officinale leaf extract
✅2/10
For newborns and infants (0–6 months) this dandelion leaf extract is considered low risk in general ingredient lists, but there is little testing on baby skin. Because baby skin is very sensitive, treat this ingredient cautiously and don’t assume it is harmless.
No Known Risk - The reviewed safety summary shows only low-level concerns (for cancer, allergies/immunity, development/reproduction, and use limits) and no issues above low for topical use. That means no real risks were identified for children when this ingredient is used as intended.
Confidence: LOW
zea mays 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
alpha-glucan oligosaccharide
✅1/10
For newborns and infants (0-6 months), this ingredient is generally considered low risk when used on the skin. It is a mild, friendly ingredient that helps support the skin’s natural barrier.
No Known Risk - The provided safety summary for this topical ingredient lists only low-level concerns across cancer, allergies/immune effects, developmental and reproductive effects, and use restrictions. No higher-than-low hazards were identified in the available data, so there are no specific risks flagged for children based on the supplied information.
Confidence: HIGH
ceramide AP
✅1/10
Ceramide AP is a gentle, skin-helping ingredient commonly used to repair and protect the skin barrier. For infants and newborns (0–6 months), it is considered low risk when used in baby products made for sensitive skin.
No Known Risk - Available safety information shows low concern for cancer, allergies, and reproductive or developmental harm for typical skin use. A cosmetic safety review panel notes only that manufacturers should follow limits on concentration, impurities, and product types — a guidance step, not evidence of harm. Based on this, no clear health risks have been identified for normal topical use.
Confidence: HIGH
ceramide EOP
✅1/10
Ceramide EOP is a natural skin lipid that helps protect and repair the skin. For babies and newborns (0-6 months) it is generally safe when used in baby creams and moisturizers, though a small number of people may get mild skin irritation.
No Known Risk - Regulatory and industry safety reviews found only very minor concerns. A European chemical authority noted limited evidence of skin irritation, and an industry cosmetic review points to use restrictions and impurity controls, but neither found stronger hazards (like cancer, hormone, organ, or developmental harm). Because no concerns above low were reported, no specific health risks have been identified for normal topical use.
Confidence: HIGH
ceramide NP
✅1/10
For newborns and babies (0–6 months), Ceramide NP is generally very low risk. It is a skin-like fat that helps moisturize and repair the skin, and most safety notes rate it as low concern. However, infants have thinner, more sensitive skin, so we should be careful.
No Known Risk - Authoritative reviews and studies do not identify any health hazards above a low level for typical topical use. A cosmetic safety review notes only guidance/restrictions for use, a European chemicals authority reported limited evidence of mild irritation, and scientific papers note this ingredient can increase skin penetration and produced allergenic responses only at high doses in animal tests. Taken together, there are no higher-than-low concerns for children when this ingredient is used as intended.
Confidence: HIGH
cholesterol
✅1/10
For infants (0-6 months) cholesterol is generally safe. It is a natural fat the skin already uses to stay healthy and is often included in baby creams to help the skin barrier. Major safety reviews find low concern for cancer, allergies, or harm to growth.
Confidence: HIGH
inulin
✅1/10
For newborns and babies up to 6 months, inulin used on the skin is very low risk. It is generally well tolerated and has been used safely in baby formulas and skin products.
Confidence: HIGH
lactobacillus ferment
✅1/10
For infants and newborns (0–6 months), Lactobacillus ferment is generally considered low risk when used in small amounts in baby-formulated skin products. It’s a probiotic ingredient and the safety data supplied shows low concern for serious long-term harms.
No Known Risk - Available safety reviews and ingredient summaries show only low-level concerns for cancer, allergies/immunity, and reproductive effects for this topical, probiotic-derived ingredient. No higher-risk hazards (organ damage, hormone effects, long-term build-up, or bans) were identified in the evaluated safety information, so there are no known significant risks for typical topical use.
Confidence: MEDIUM
polyglyceryl-2 dipolyhydroxystearate
✅1/10
For infants (0–6 months) this ingredient is considered low risk. It’s a mild ingredient used to mix oils and water in creams and lotions. However, newborn skin is extra delicate, so be cautious.
No Known Risk - The provided safety summary lists only low-level concerns (for cancer, allergies/immune effects, developmental/reproductive effects, and use limits) and shows no higher-level hazards. No organ, hormone, neurodevelopment, persistence (PFAS) issues, bans, or regulatory restrictions were reported for this ingredient in the supplied data. Based on that information, there are no identified real risks for children from typical topical use.
Confidence: HIGH
xanthan gum
✅1/10
For babies 0–6 months (newborns and infants): xanthan gum is generally very safe when used in skincare like wipes or lotions. It’s a thickener that usually sits on the skin and rarely causes problems.
No Known Risk - Safety reviews and regulatory assessments find no health hazards above a low level for topical use. It is approved for limited use in food, classified as not expected to be toxic and a low human-health priority, and not suspected to be an environmental toxin. Cosmetic industry reviewers note only guidance on concentrations or purity. Because no concern was rated above low, no specific risks were identified for babies or children.
Confidence: HIGH
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
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.
