Ingredients Analysis (22 found)

lavandula angustifolia
🚨7/10
Lavender oil can cause skin irritation and allergic reactions in infants and is not recommended for babies under 6 months often used for fragrance
Irritant - Lavender oil can cause skin irritation, redness, or rashes, especially on sensitive baby skin, as documented in dermatological studies.
Hormones - Some studies have suggested that topical lavender oil may have hormone-disrupting effects, such as prepubertal gynecomastia in boys, indicating a potential risk for hormone disruption in babies.
Confidence: HIGH
pimpinella anisum seed extract
🚨7/10
For newborns and babies 0–6 months: this seed extract can cause skin allergy in some people and there is not enough safety data for very young babies. Because baby skin is extra sensitive, it’s best to avoid products that list this ingredient.
Immune system - This ingredient is listed as a known human allergen and has evidence of causing allergic reactions on the skin, so it can trigger immune responses in sensitive children (noted by the EU cosmetics authority and by the European chemicals agency).
Irritant - There is limited but clear evidence of dermal toxicity and skin allergies, meaning it can cause skin redness, itching, or rashes on contact for some people (documented by the European chemicals agency).
Eczema - Because it is a known allergen and can cause skin reactions, it may trigger or make eczema and similar skin conditions worse in babies or children (supported by the EU cosmetics directive and the European chemicals agency findings).
Confidence: MEDIUM
ocimum basilicum leaf extract
⚠️5/10
Ocimum basilicum leaf extract is basil extract which may cause irritation or allergy in infants under 6 months and lacks safety data for this age group
No Known Risk - Basil leaf extract is generally considered safe for topical use, with no strong evidence linking it to irritation, allergies, hormone disruption, or other health risks in babies. There are no known reports of toxicity or adverse effects in infants from topical application, so it is considered low risk based on current research.
Confidence: MEDIUM
aloe vera barbadensis leaf juice
⚠️4/10
Limited safety data for aloe on infants under 6 months possible allergen may cause irritation used as moisturizer
Irritant - Aloe vera leaf juice can cause skin irritation or allergic reactions in some sensitive individuals, including babies, especially if the product is not properly purified or contains latex from the leaf.
Confidence: LOW
glyceryl oleate
⚠️4/10
Glyceryl oleate is usually used to make creams and lotions feel smooth. For newborns and infants (0–6 months) it is generally okay in small amounts, but it has been reported to irritate skin or eyes in some people. Because babies’ skin is very delicate, use products with this ingredient only if they are made for babies.
Irritant - A safety review panel found strong human evidence that this ingredient can irritate skin, eyes, and lungs. That means it can cause redness, stinging, or discomfort on sensitive baby skin or if it gets in the eyes or is inhaled during use (source: Cosmetic Ingredient Review).
Eczema - Because the ingredient is a confirmed skin irritant, it can trigger or make eczema and similar rashes worse in children with sensitive skin. The same safety review cited clear human irritation evidence that supports this risk (source: Cosmetic Ingredient Review).
Asthma - The ingredient has been reported to cause lung irritation in people. That lung irritation can make breathing problems or asthma symptoms worse in children who are sensitive or already have asthma (source: Cosmetic Ingredient Review).
Environmental - A government environmental review flagged this substance as a suspected environmental toxin. That means it may pose harms to wildlife or aquatic life if released into the environment (source: Environment Canada).
Confidence: MEDIUM
lauryl glucoside
⚠️4/10
For newborns and infants (0–6 months): this is a mild cleansing ingredient and is usually low risk, but babies’ skin is very delicate so there’s a small chance it can irritate or rarely cause an allergic reaction.
Immune system - Human patch-test reports and case studies show that alkyl glucosides, including lauryl glucoside, have caused allergic or immune reactions in some people. A review and specific patch-test studies (2014 and 2019) note possible immune or allergenic effects in certain users, so there is a real chance this ingredient can trigger immune responses in sensitive children.
Eczema - There are documented human case reports of allergic contact dermatitis from alkyl glucosides (reported in patch-testing studies from 2014 and 2019). That means lauryl glucoside can trigger or worsen eczema or similar skin rashes for some people with sensitive skin.
Fertility - A toxicology review of alkyl polyglycosides (2004) reports animal studies where male reproductive effects occurred at moderate doses. While this is from animal data, it indicates a possible risk to reproductive health that should be noted.
Confidence: HIGH
phytic acids
⚠️4/10
For infants (newborns and babies 0–6 months): phytic acid is generally low risk for most people, but baby skin is very delicate and can be more easily irritated or absorb ingredients. Because of that, it’s safer to avoid phytic acid in products you put on a baby’s skin whenever possible.
Hormones - A safety review found studies where this ingredient changed hormone activity at low doses. This means it may affect natural hormone development in babies or children (source: Cosmetic Ingredient Review).
Organ Risk - A European chemical agency classified it as potentially harmful to organs with repeated exposure, though another regulator gave a more benign view. Because one major regulator flagged organ toxicity, there is a real risk to organs like the liver or kidneys if exposure is high or repeated (source: European Chemicals Agency).
Absorbed - A cosmetic safety review notes this ingredient can be absorbed through the skin. That means what is put on the skin can get into the body, so other risks (like hormone or organ effects) are more relevant (source: Cosmetic Ingredient Review).
Confidence: MEDIUM
salvia adana
⚠️4/10
Cannot understand what salvia adana is it might be a misreading or a typo no clear safety data available
Confidence: HIGH
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
palm fruit kernel
✅3/10
For infants (0–6 months): mostly low concern for basic skin softening, but there is a specific worry about chemical impurities from processing. Because babies’ skin is delicate, we should be careful.
Confidence: MEDIUM
quillaja saponaria extract
✅3/10
For newborns and young babies (0–6 months) this ingredient is not known to cause serious long-term harm, but it can irritate delicate baby skin, eyes or airways in some people. Because babies’ skin and breathing are still developing, it’s safest to be cautious.
Confidence: MEDIUM
sodium levulinate
✅3/10
For infants (0-6 months): overall low concern but take extra care. Studies show it may sometimes irritate skin or eyes and it can help other ingredients pass through the skin more easily — which matters because baby skin is thinner and more absorbent.
Confidence: MEDIUM
glycerin
✅2/10
For newborns and infants (0–6 months): glycerin is a common, mild moisturizer found in many baby lotions and wipes. When used at normal levels in products made for babies, it is usually safe and well tolerated.
Confidence: HIGH
hydrolyzed quinoa protein
✅2/10
For newborns and babies 0–6 months: this ingredient is generally low risk in adult data, but babies’ skin is extra sensitive. It’s unlikely to cause serious harm, but there is a small chance of irritation or an allergic reaction because it is a plant protein.
No Known Risk - Peer-reviewed studies and safety summaries report only low-level findings. Small biochemical or organ changes were seen in animals but only at very high doses; there is no evidence of harm from normal topical use. No concerns above low were identified in the available data.
Confidence: MEDIUM
simmondsia chinensis seed oil
✅2/10
Simmondsia Chinensis Seed Oil is jojoba oil used as a moisturizer generally safe but rare allergies possible in infants under 6 months
No Known Risk - Jojoba oil is widely regarded as safe for topical use on babies and is not linked to irritation, hormone disruption, cancer, or other health risks based on current research. It is non-allergenic, non-comedogenic, and does not contain known harmful chemicals. No credible studies have shown significant adverse effects in infants or children when used as directed.
Confidence: MEDIUM
yucca schidigera root extract
✅2/10
Safe for most newborns and young babies when used in tiny amounts in rinse-off products. Not recommended as a leave-on ingredient for this age.
No Known Risk - Checks show low concern for skin use. A U.S. food safety group (FDA) even allows it in some foods. No higher risks are reported for cancer, allergy, or growth problems with normal use.
Confidence: MEDIUM
coconut
✅1/10
Coconut derivatives like coconut oil are commonly used in baby shampoos and body washes and are very safe for 0-6 month babies in topical use.
No Known Risk - Coconut is generally considered safe for topical use on babies. There is no strong evidence linking coconut to skin irritation, eczema, or other health risks in most infants, except in rare cases of coconut allergy. Therefore, no risk labels apply based on current research.
Confidence: HIGH
corn
✅1/10
Corn derivatives are generally safe in topical baby products like shampoo and bodywash for 0-6 month babies. They are often used as thickeners or emollients.
No Known Risk - Corn is widely used in topical baby products such as powders and creams, and there is no strong evidence linking it to skin irritation, allergies, or other health risks in babies when used topically. It is generally considered safe for sensitive baby skin unless the child has a specific corn allergy, which is rare.
Confidence: HIGH
rice
✅1/10
Rice is very safe for topical use in baby products like shampoo and bodywash for 0-6 month babies. It may be used as a soothing or moisturizing agent.
No Known Risk - Rice used topically is generally considered safe for babies, with no evidence linking it to irritation, allergies, or other health risks based on current research.
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
decyl glucoside
✅1/10
Decyl Glucoside is a mild non ionic surfactant commonly used in baby shampoos and body washes. It is very safe for 0-6 month babies in topical use.
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.
