GOLD BOND CLEAR BODY POWDER SPRAY

Not safe for infants and newborns (0–6 months). This is a propellant gas not meant for baby skin and is linked in official toxicology reports to developmental, immune, and hormonal concerns.

For infants and newborns (0-6 months) this ingredient is not recommended. It commonly dries and can irritate baby skin and may allow other ingredients to get into the body more easily.

For newborns and infants (0–6 months) this ingredient is best avoided when possible. It’s an antiseptic that is allowed in some products but there are warnings and limits from health authorities and some animal and lab studies that suggest caution is needed for very young babies.

For newborns and babies 0–6 months: not recommended. This ingredient can irritate skin, eyes, and breathing and there isn’t strong safety data for very young babies.

For newborns and babies (0–6 months): be cautious. Propylene glycol can irritate sensitive skin and helps other chemicals get through the skin. Babies’ skin is thinner, so they can be more affected.

C13-15 alkane is a skin-softening ingredient. For newborns and babies (0-6 months) it is not a clear-cut safe choice because regulators have flagged it for possible cancer risk and for increasing skin absorption. I treat it with caution for this age.

For infants (0-6 months) this ingredient is generally considered low risk for cancer, allergies, and developmental harm in typical adult use, but there are notes about possible contamination and recommended limits. Because newborns and babies have very delicate skin and lungs, we treat it cautiously and do not recommend routine use on infants.

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.

For babies 0–6 months old (newborns, infants) this ingredient is best avoided when possible. It can make skin more likely to absorb other substances and has been linked to some cases of contact allergy. Overall health risks are low in adults, but infants have thinner, more absorbent skin, so we are more cautious.

For newborns and babies (0-6 months): the ingredient itself does not show strong signals of causing cancer or developmental problems, but there are known contamination worries (chemicals called nitrosamines and free amines) and a lack of clear testing for babies. Because infants absorb substances more easily and may lick treated skin, I recommend being cautious.

For newborns and babies (0–6 months): this ingredient is usually used to make skin feel smooth and is considered low-risk for adults, but babies have very thin, sensitive skin so we are more careful. It’s not commonly listed as a major hazard, but some experts note possible irritation and some regulatory groups have raised concerns about organ effects in other settings.

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.

Soothing agent and fragrance. Low toxicity and low sensitization at typical levels, but infants may be sensitive. Likely used for anti irritation and mild scent.

Hydroxyethyl urea is a moisturizing ingredient that experts generally consider low risk for adults. For infants (newborns and babies under 6 months) there is little specific testing, so while risk appears low, we recommend being careful because baby skin is more sensitive.

For newborns and babies 0–6 months, isododecane is best treated with caution. Adults show low risk overall, but there is little information about babies and some studies suggest possible irritation and, at high doses, effects on organs or nerves in animals.

For newborns and infants (0-6 months): magnesium stearate is commonly used in creams and powders and is seen as low concern for most people. However, there is limited specific safety testing in newborns, so extra caution is recommended.

For newborns and babies up to 6 months: the available safety information shows low concerns for serious long-term effects, but there is not much research specifically in very young babies. Because infant skin is very sensitive, treat this ingredient with caution.

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.

For newborns and infants (0–6 months): generally safe in small amounts on intact skin. It can give a mild cooling feeling and, rarely, cause mild irritation in very sensitive babies.

For newborns and young babies (0–6 months), sodium bicarbonate is generally low risk when used in small amounts in products made for babies. It is widely used in foods and cosmetics and is considered unlikely to cause long-term harm. Because babies have very sensitive, thin skin and tend to put things in their mouths, we stay extra cautious.

For newborns and babies 0–6 months, tapioca starch is generally low risk on the skin but needs extra care because it is a fine powder. The chance of skin harm is small, but powders can irritate eyes or be breathed into tiny lungs.

For newborns and young infants (0–6 months), this plant extract is generally very gentle on skin when used correctly. The main thing to watch is rare, mild skin irritation.

Maltodextrin is generally safe for newborns and young babies when used on normal, unbroken skin in creams or lotions. It is not known to cause cancer or serious harm and has a low chance of causing an allergic reaction.
