Ingredients Analysis (20 found)

Mentha Piperita Oil

🚫9/10

Peppermint oil can cause skin irritation breathing issues and toxicity in infants likely added for fragrance but unsafe for 0-6 months

Irritant - Peppermint oil is known to cause skin irritation, redness, and rashes, especially on sensitive baby skin due to its menthol content.

Asthma - The strong menthol vapors from peppermint oil can trigger or worsen breathing issues, including asthma, in sensitive children and infants.

Absorbed - Essential oils like peppermint oil can be absorbed through the skin, and babies have a higher skin absorption rate, increasing systemic exposure.

Confidence: HIGH

Triethanolamine

🚫8/10

For newborns and infants (0–6 months) this ingredient is best avoided if you can. It can irritate sensitive baby skin and has a known risk of causing allergic reactions in some people. There is also a contamination concern (nitrosamines) during manufacturing.

Immune system - Multiple safety reviews note that triethanolamine shows evidence of immune and allergy effects in people, including reports of immune system or allergy concerns and respiratory allergic reactions (noted by cosmetic safety reviewers and occupational health assessments). This means it can affect the immune response in children who are exposed.

Irritant - A cosmetic safety review found strong evidence that triethanolamine is a human skin toxicant or allergen. That means it can cause skin redness, itching, or rashes—especially on sensitive or young skin.

Asthma - An occupational health review lists triethanolamine as a human respiratory toxicant or allergen, so inhalation or skin exposure may worsen breathing problems or trigger asthma-like responses in sensitive children.

Eczema - Because triethanolamine is reported as a skin allergen/toxicant, it can trigger or worsen eczema and similar skin conditions in babies and children prone to eczema.

Organ Risk - A national environmental agency classifies triethanolamine as expected to be toxic or harmful to non-reproductive organs, and regulatory toxicology notes animal studies showing effects at moderate doses. Repeated or high exposures could harm organs such as the liver or kidneys.

Banned - Cosmetic safety reviews and regional cosmetic rules place limits on how this ingredient may be used and at what concentrations, and some regulations restrict its use in certain products. This means some countries impose legal use or concentration limits.

Cancer - There is a high-listed concern about contamination with nitrosamines (a class of chemicals linked to cancer). While the ingredient itself is not judged likely to cause cancer, the potential for nitrosamine contamination raises a cancer-related risk from impurities.

Confidence: MEDIUM

Whole Egg Powder

🚫8/10

Whole Egg Powder can cause severe allergic reactions and is not safe for infant skin especially under 6 months likely used as a protein or emulsifier

Irritant - Whole egg powder can cause skin irritation or allergic reactions, especially in babies with egg allergies or sensitive skin.

Confidence: HIGH

Cymbopogon Citratus Leaf Oil

🚫8/10

Lemongrass oil can cause skin irritation and allergic reactions in infants and is not recommended for babies under 6 months often used for fragrance

Irritant - Lemongrass oil contains citral, which is known to cause skin irritation, redness, or rashes, especially on sensitive baby skin.

Eczema - Essential oils like lemongrass can trigger or worsen eczema and similar skin conditions in sensitive individuals, including infants.

Confidence: HIGH

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

Polyquaternium 7

🚨7/10

For infants and newborns (0–6 months), this ingredient is best avoided when possible. There is limited information for babies this young and some official reviews raise contamination and restriction concerns.

Cancer - The ingredient record flags contamination with acrylamide. Acrylamide is a toxic contaminant and its presence in the ingredient raises a real cancer concern reported in the safety record.

Organ Risk - A government assessment listed this polymer as expected to be toxic or harmful to non-reproductive organs, indicating possible harm to organs like liver, kidneys, or lungs with repeated exposure.

Banned - This ingredient is restricted for use in cosmetics under the EU Cosmetics Directive and is limited by industry safety rules, so it may be banned or heavily limited in some countries or products.

Environmental - Government data flagged this substance as a suspected environmental toxin, suggesting it may harm wildlife or ecosystems if released.

Confidence: MEDIUM

Peppermint Oil

🚨7/10

Peppermint oil can cause skin irritation and sensitization in babies under 6 months especially in topical products like shampoo and bodywash. Use with caution.

Confidence: HIGH

Cocamidopropyl Betaine

🚨6/10

For infants (0–6 months) this cleansing ingredient is commonly used in washes and wipes but should be used with care. It can sometimes irritate or cause allergic reactions, and some batches can carry trace contaminants. Babies’ skin is more delicate, so caution is advised.

Immune system - Cosmetic safety reviews (Cosmetic Ingredient Review and draft safety reports) report limited evidence that cocamidopropyl betaine can sensitize skin or trigger allergic reactions. That means it can affect the immune system in some people, especially those with sensitive skin.

Irritant - Industry safety assessments note limited evidence of skin sensitization and explicitly warn the ingredient may be unsafe in products left on the skin (not rinsed off). This shows it can cause redness, itching, or irritation for some users.

Eczema - Safety panels and reports observed cases of sensitization and recommend limits on use and product types. Because it can provoke skin reactions, it may trigger or worsen eczema in sensitive children.

Cancer - Regulatory and industry reviews flag contamination concerns for this ingredient, including nitrosamines and related amines. Nitrosamines are known to be carcinogenic, so impurity risks raise a cancer concern unless impurities are controlled as industry reviewers recommend.

Banned - Expert panels and tentative regulatory reports recommend use, concentration, and manufacturing restrictions for this ingredient and note it is unsafe in some product types (leave-on). While not universally banned, it is subject to regulatory or industry limits in some contexts.

Environmental - A national environmental agency (Environment Canada) flagged this ingredient as a suspected environmental toxin, indicating possible harm to ecosystems if released into the environment.

Confidence: MEDIUM

Ceteareth 20

🚨6/10

For newborns and infants (0-6 months), Ceteareth-20 is best avoided when possible. The ingredient itself is a common emulsifier, but concerns come from possible manufacturing contaminants and the fact it can make skin absorb other substances more easily. Baby skin is thinner and more vulnerable.

Cancer - The ingredient assessment lists contamination by ethylene oxide and 1,4-dioxane. Those contaminants are linked to cancer by health authorities, so their presence here is a real cancer concern.

Absorbed - A safety review (Cosmetic Ingredient Review) flags this ingredient as a penetration enhancer. That means it can help other chemicals get through the skin and into the body, raising exposure risk.

Long-Term Risk - Because this ingredient can boost skin absorption and it can be contaminated with harmful chemicals, repeated use could raise health risks over time according to the ingredient assessment and safety review.

Confidence: HIGH

Lemongrass Leaf Oil

🚨6/10

Lemongrass Leaf Oil is a natural essential oil that can cause skin irritation or sensitization in babies under 6 months. It is sometimes used for fragrance in baby products.

Confidence: HIGH

Ethylene Glycol Monostearate

⚠️5/10

Ethylene Glycol Monostearate is an emulsifier but limited safety data for infants under 6 months caution advised

Irritant - Ethylene Glycol Monostearate can cause mild skin and eye irritation, especially in sensitive individuals, though it is generally considered low risk in typical cosmetic concentrations.

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

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

Propanediol

⚠️4/10

For newborns and babies (0-6 months) propanediol is not usually thought to be highly toxic, but it can make skin absorb other things more and has been linked to skin irritation in some studies. Because babies’ skin is very delicate, I recommend being cautious.

Irritant - Propanediol has been linked to skin, eye, or lung irritation. It is listed as a skin irritant by the U.S. National Library of Medicine, and both the European chemical regulator and a cosmetics safety review report limited evidence of irritation. This means it can cause redness, itching or rashes—especially on sensitive baby skin.

Absorbed - Propanediol is noted as a penetration enhancer by the Cosmetic Ingredient Review. That means it can help itself or other ingredients move through the skin and into the body, increasing the chance of absorption into the bloodstream.

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

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

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

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

Coconut Oil

✅1/10

Coconut oil is generally safe for infant skin and is used as a moisturizer but monitor for rare allergies

No Known Risk - Coconut oil is widely used topically for babies and is generally considered safe. There is no strong evidence linking it to irritation, allergies, hormone disruption, cancer, or other health risks when used on healthy baby skin. Rare allergic reactions are possible, but not common enough to warrant a risk label based on current research.

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.

Confidence: HIGH
