Ingredients Analysis (7 found)

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

aloe vera

✅3/10

Organic Aloe Vera is generally safe for topical use but may cause irritation in sensitive infants under 6 months often used for soothing skin

Confidence: MEDIUM

chamomile

✅3/10

Matricaria Chamomilla is chamomile used for soothing skin but may cause rare allergic reactions in infants under 6 months

Confidence: HIGH

tricalcium phosphate

✅3/10

For newborns and babies (0-6 months), this ingredient is generally low risk when it’s part of a finished skin product. It is not known to cause cancer or long-term harm and does not build up in the body. However, irritation is possible, and babies have very sensitive skin.

No Known Risk - Government and expert reviews do not show clear hazards for tricalcium phosphate. A Canadian health agency classifies it as not expected to be toxic and a low human-health priority. U.S. regulatory notes say it can be allowed in some limited food uses (and list a few specific prohibitions), and a cosmetics review found only possible irritation with the evidence described as unassessed. Together this means there are no proven or elevated risks for typical topical use on children.

Confidence: MEDIUM

Cornstarch

✅1/10

Pure Cornstarch is generally safe for topical use in babies 0-6 months as a moisture absorber and skin protectant with minimal irritation risk.

No Known Risk - Cornstarch is widely used in baby powders and topical products, and current research does not show immediate health concerns for topical use on intact skin. While there is some caution for use on broken skin or in cases of inhalation, for topical use on healthy baby skin, there are no established risks based on available evidence.

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

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.
