Ingredients Analysis (29 found)

Hydroxyethyl Acrylate

🚫8/10

For newborns and babies (0–6 months), this ingredient is best avoided. It can irritate skin and may cause allergic reactions, and infant skin is extra sensitive.

Immune system - There is moderate concern that this chemical can cause allergic or immune reactions. European GHS labels list it as a possible skin toxicant/allergen, and medical database notes limited evidence of immune-system effects. That means some people—especially children with sensitive skin—could get rashes or allergic reactions.

Organ Risk - Authorities have flagged possible harm to body organs with repeated or higher exposures. European GHS classification calls it toxic or harmful to organ systems (non‑reproductive), though another agency found no expected toxicity. Because an official hazard label exists, there is a real risk if exposure is strong or repeated.

Long-Term Risk - Workplace guidance limits allowed exposures to low doses, which suggests concern about effects from repeated or long-term contact. That official workplace restriction indicates a risk if someone is exposed often over time.

Confidence: MEDIUM

Parfum

🚨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.

Water

⚠️5/10

Water is safe for baby skin and is commonly used as a solvent or base in baby wipes and lotions

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

Eau

⚠️5/10

Eau is water in French, commonly used as a solvent in baby products. It is very safe and essential for topical formulations for babies 0-6 months.

Confidence: HIGH

2-Hexanediol

⚠️4/10

For infants and newborns (0–6 months), this ingredient is probably low risk in the tiny amounts usually used in products, but we are extra careful with babies. Some studies and regulators note it can cause skin, eye, or lung irritation at higher levels. Some product programs ask for extra safety proof before allowing it in baby‑label products.

No Known Risk - Independent safety reviews (Cosmetic Ingredient Review) and the European Chemicals Agency do not find serious health hazards for normal skin use. They note only limited evidence of skin, eye, or lung irritation at higher doses and point out some data gaps, so overall the ingredient is rated low risk for typical topical use.

Confidence: MEDIUM

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

Polysorbate 60

⚠️4/10

For newborns and babies (0–6 months): Polysorbate 60 itself is not highly toxic, but there are manufacturing-related contamination concerns and a small chance of skin irritation. Because babies’ skin is very delicate, we should be careful.

Cancer - Safety notes flag that this ingredient can be contaminated with ethylene oxide and 1,4‑dioxane. Those two chemicals are linked to cancer by major health agencies, so contamination makes cancer a real concern for users of products that contain this ingredient.

Long-Term Risk - Industry safety reviews and regulatory notes point to contamination and data gaps for this ingredient and say use may need limits. Because harmful contaminants can be present and safety assessments note limits, repeated use could raise longer‑term health risks.

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

Cera Alba

✅3/10

Beeswax is usually safe for newborn skin when used in small amounts as part of a cream or balm.

Confidence: MEDIUM-HIGH

Polyglyceryl-3 Beeswax

✅3/10

For newborns and infants (0-6 months), this ingredient is generally considered low risk and commonly used to help lotions and creams spread and feel smooth. However, infant skin is very sensitive, so we take an extra careful approach.

No Known Risk - Available safety information rates cancer, allergy, reproductive, and use-limit concerns as low. A safety review noted possible skin, eye, or lung irritation but said the evidence is unassessed. No concerns above low were found, so there are no identified risks above low for topical use on children.

Confidence: MEDIUM

Sorbitan Isostearate

✅3/10

For infants and newborns (0–6 months), this ingredient is generally low risk and often used in baby creams and lotions. But direct safety studies in very young babies are limited, so we remain cautious.

No Known Risk - Independent safety reviews by a cosmetic ingredient safety panel and government reviewers found no clear health hazards for normal skin use. These reviews reported only minor data gaps and noted that some judgments relied on related chemicals and reported use levels, but they did not identify any risks that rise above a low level.

Confidence: MEDIUM

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

Cetyl Alcohol

✅2/10

For newborns and infants (0–6 months): cetyl alcohol is usually safe when used in small amounts in baby products. It helps creams feel smooth and rarely causes reactions, but baby skin is extra sensitive and some experts want more safety data.

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

Sodium Stearoyl Glutamate

✅2/10

For newborns and infants (0-6 months), this ingredient is generally low risk. It’s a mild ingredient used to help creams and lotions mix and spread. Overall health risks reported are low, but babies’ skin is very delicate, so some caution is wise.

No Known Risk - An expert safety review (Cosmetic Ingredient Review) says this ingredient is safe for use in cosmetics when used within set limits. The available information only shows low or unclear concerns (for example mild irritation in some tests) and no higher-level hazards were identified. Based on current evidence, there are no known real risks for children when this ingredient is used as intended.

Confidence: MEDIUM

Vegetable Oil

✅2/10

For newborns and babies (0–6 months) vegetable oil is generally low risk, but the label “vegetable oil” is not specific. Because baby skin is delicate, be cautious and treat it as a product you should test and use sparingly.

No Known Risk - Reviewed government and industry safety assessments find that topical vegetable oil is not expected to be toxic to organs, is a low human-health priority, is not likely to bioaccumulate, and is not suspected to be an environmental toxin. Industry reviewers do note routine recommendations about safe use (limits on concentrations, impurities, or manufacturing methods), but these are precautionary guidance rather than evidence of harm. For typical topical use on children, no specific health risks have been identified in the available assessments.

Confidence: MEDIUM

Sodium Acryloyldimethyl Taurate Copolymer

✅2/10

For newborns and babies 0-6 months: this ingredient is a common thickener in creams and lotions and is generally considered low risk in adults. Because babies have very sensitive, thin skin and there is little specific testing in this age group, we treat it with extra caution.

No Known Risk - Available industry safety reviews rate cancer, allergy/immune, and developmental/reproductive concerns as low. The only note is a use restriction in some product-verification programs unless makers provide safety data. No higher health hazards were identified in the provided safety information.

Confidence: LOW

Beeswax

✅2/10

Yellow wax is likely beeswax used as an emollient or thickener generally safe for topical use in infants with low allergy risk

Confidence: HIGH

C10-18 Triglycerides

✅1/10

For newborns and infants (0–6 months), C10-18 Triglycerides are usually safe. They act like skin fats and help moisturize without strong risks. Most long-term or serious health concerns are rated low.

Confidence: HIGH

Jojoba Esters

✅1/10

Jojoba esters are a plant-based moisturizer commonly used in baby lotions and oils. For newborns and infants (0–6 months) they are usually safe and have a low chance of causing cancer, hormonal, or fertility problems. However, safety notes from industry reviewers say safe use depends on how much is used and how the ingredient is made.

No Known Risk - Reviewed safety assessments by an industry safety panel show low concern for cancer, allergies, developmental or reproductive harm, and no clear evidence of irritation or long-term organ harm from topical use. The panel notes that safety conclusions rely on reported use concentrations and that manufacturers should provide substantiation of safe levels, but current available evaluations do not identify real health risks for children using this ingredient on skin.

Confidence: HIGH

Olus Oil
