Ingredients Analysis (26 found)

phenoxyethanol
🚨7/10
For infants (0–6 months): be careful. This preservative can irritate delicate baby skin and some countries limit how it’s used. It is not known to cause cancer or birth defects at normal cosmetic levels, but irritation is the main concern.
Irritant - Official hazard listings show this chemical can cause skin, eye, and lung irritation. Regulators classify it as an irritant, so it can make skin red or itchy and bother the eyes or breathing passages.
Asthma - Because it can irritate the lungs, it may make asthma or breathing problems worse. Workplace and hazard listings note lung irritation and limits on inhalation exposure.
Organ Risk - There is limited evidence that it can affect the nervous system and it is listed as toxic/harmful in official hazard codes. That means repeated or high exposures could harm organs like the nervous system.
Absorbed - Safety reviews and workplace data note systemic effects tied to how it is used, and nervous-system findings suggest the chemical can get into the body after skin or workplace exposure.
Banned - Some governments set limits on its use in cosmetics (for example, concentration limits from national health authorities), and some product standards require special proof before it can be used.
Confidence: MEDIUM
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: 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
hexylene glycol
⚠️4/10
For newborns and babies 0–6 months: this ingredient is generally low in systemic toxicity but is known to irritate skin and eyes. Because baby skin is thin and more sensitive, it is best treated with extra caution.
Irritant - This ingredient is officially classified as an irritant for skin, eyes and lungs under EU GHS hazard codes. A cosmetic safety review also highlights limits on how it can be used and notes data gaps that lead to concentration limits in products. For babies, this means it can cause redness, stinging, rashes or breathing irritation on sensitive skin.
Confidence: MEDIUM
tocopheryl acetate
⚠️4/10
Usually fine in tiny amounts on a newborn’s healthy skin, but infants are extra sensitive. Some babies can react, and there are concerns about tiny impurities in some sources.
Irritant - A cosmetic safety review panel (Cosmetic Ingredient Review) found strong human evidence that this can trigger skin allergy. That means it may cause redness, itch, or rash, especially on sensitive baby skin.
Immune system - Moderate concern for allergy and immune reactions on skin was flagged by a cosmetic safety panel (Cosmetic Ingredient Review). Some kids may have an immune response like hives or swelling.
Absorbed - Tests note enhanced skin absorption for this form of vitamin E. This means a small amount can pass through the skin and enter the body after use.
Long-Term Risk - There is a high concern for a trace impurity (hydroquinone). European health regulators and other agencies restrict that impurity because of safety worries with long-term use.
Environmental - Environment Canada lists it as a suspected environmental toxin, though data are limited. It may harm water life if it builds up in waterways.
Confidence: MEDIUM
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
anthemis nobilis flower extract
✅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
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
persea gratissima oil
✅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
sorbitan olivate
✅3/10
For infants (0–6 months): Sorbitan Olivate is an oil-based emulsifier with a low overall hazard rating. When used in small amounts inside products made for babies, it is likely okay, but newborn skin is delicate so extra caution is sensible.
No Known Risk - Reviewed safety information shows only low-level concerns for cancer, allergies/immune effects, and reproductive or developmental effects. An industry safety panel (Cosmetic Ingredient Review) notes data gaps and recommends limits on concentration or product types, but did not identify higher-level hazards for normal topical use. Based on that, there are no known health risks above low at typical use.
Confidence: MEDIUM
butyrospermum parkii nut extract
✅2/10
Shea butter is generally safe as a moisturizer but rare allergies are possible in infants under 6 months
No Known Risk - Shea butter is widely used in baby skincare products and is generally considered safe for topical use. There is no strong evidence linking it to irritation, allergies, hormone disruption, or other health risks in babies. Rare allergic reactions may occur, but these are uncommon and not specific to infants. Current research and regulatory guidance do not identify any significant risks for babies when shea butter is used topically.
Confidence: HIGH
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
cetearyl alcohol
✅2/10
For infants and newborns (0–6 months): Cetearyl alcohol is a common ingredient that helps creams and lotions feel smooth. When it is used in products made for babies it is usually low risk, but baby's skin is delicate so be a little cautious.
Confidence: MEDIUM
cetearyl olivate
✅2/10
For newborns and babies 0–6 months, cetearyl olivate (an olive‑derived skin conditioner) is generally low risk when it’s in products made for infants and used on normal, unbroken skin. There is a small chance it could irritate very sensitive skin.
No Known Risk - Safety reviews by cosmetic experts find this ingredient safe for skin use. No moderate or high health concerns were identified for children. There are only small notes about possible mild irritation for some people and standard limits on how it is used, but these are low-level and not seen as a real health risk.
Confidence: MEDIUM
colloidal oatmeal
✅2/10
Colloidal oatmeal is generally safe for newborns and infants (0–6 months) when used on the skin. It’s commonly used to calm dry, itchy or irritated baby skin and the safety information provided shows low concerns.
No Known Risk - The ingredient's safety review shows only low-level concerns for cancer, allergies or immune effects, developmental/reproductive harm, and use limits. No hazards above low were identified for topical use in the available review, so no significant health risks were found.
Confidence: HIGH
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
glyceryl stearate
✅2/10
For newborns and babies 0–6 months: this ingredient is commonly used in baby lotions and is usually low risk. Still, baby skin is thinner and soaks up things more easily than older children, so extra care is wise.
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
stearic acid
✅2/10
Stearic acid is a common ingredient in baby creams and wipes and is generally low risk. Reviews by government and industry experts find little evidence it causes cancer, strong allergic reactions, or harm to development. Because newborn skin is very delicate, we err on the side of caution for babies under 6 months.
Confidence: HIGH
theobroma cacao seed butter
✅2/10
Theobroma cacao seed butter is cocoa butter used as a skin emollient minor allergy risk but generally safe for baby skin
No Known Risk - Cocoa butter is widely used in baby products and is generally considered safe for topical use on baby skin. There is no strong evidence linking it to irritation, allergies, hormone disruption, or other health risks in babies. Rare allergic reactions may occur, but these are uncommon and not specific to cocoa butter itself. Current research and regulatory guidance do not identify cocoa butter as a risk for babies.
Confidence: HIGH
caprylic/capric triglyceride
✅1/10
This ingredient is a gentle, lightweight oil used to moisturize skin. For newborns and babies (0–6 months) it is generally safe when used in normal baby lotions or wipes.
Confidence: HIGH
helianthus annuus seed oil
✅1/10
Sunflower Seed Oil is generally safe for infant skin and is used as a moisturizer in baby products
No Known Risk - Sunflower seed oil is widely used in baby skincare products and is generally considered safe for topical use. There is no strong evidence linking it to irritation, allergies, or other health risks in babies when used on intact skin. It is not associated with hormone disruption, cancer, or other long-term health effects according to current research.
Confidence: HIGH
sodium hyaluronate
✅1/10
For newborns and babies 0–6 months, sodium hyaluronate is usually safe. It helps skin hold water and is not commonly linked to allergies, cancer, or growth problems.
No Known Risk - Major safety reviews and government checks report low concern for this ingredient when used on the skin. Industry safety reviewers note some data gaps and recommend limits on how much may be used in products, and a government environmental review flagged uncertain effects on the environment. Some product-verification programs also require extra proof before allowing it. Taken together, there are no clear health risks above a low level in the available assessments.
Confidence: MEDIUM
xanthan gum
