Ingredients Analysis (9 found)

Betaine

⚠️5/10

For newborns and babies 0–6 months: Betaine is a moisturizing ingredient used in some lotions and wipes. Most safety reviews find low risk for cancer or developmental harm, but there are noted risks of contamination with industrial pollutants and some reports of mild skin or eye irritation. Because babies’ skin is very delicate, I recommend a cautious approach.

Cancer - The ingredient's contamination listing names dioxins, PAHs and PCBs as possible impurities. Those contaminants are known to raise cancer risk, so if the ingredient is contaminated there is a real cancer concern (based on the ingredient's contamination listing).

Organ Risk - Lead and some of the listed contaminants (for example PCBs) can harm organs such as the brain, liver and kidneys in children. The ingredient's contamination listing includes lead, so organ damage is a possible hazard if contamination occurs.

Breast Milk - Some contaminants named in the ingredient's contamination listing (for example dioxins and PCBs) are known to pass into breast milk. That means contaminated exposure could reach nursing infants (based on the ingredient's contamination listing).

Confidence: MEDIUM

Caprylyl Glucoside

⚠️4/10

For newborns and babies (0-6 months): this ingredient is a mild cleanser and is generally considered low risk in adults, but baby skin is thinner and more easily irritated. There are a few reports of allergic skin reactions and irritation in people, and there isn’t much data specifically on infants, so extra caution is advised.

Immune system - There are human patch-testing studies and case reports that show some people had allergic or immune reactions to alkyl glucoside ingredients, which includes caprylyl glucoside (see a 2019 patch-testing study and a 2014 allergic contact dermatitis report). These human reports mean some users may develop immune responses to this ingredient.

Eczema - Published case reports describe allergic contact dermatitis from alkyl glucosides. That kind of allergic skin reaction can trigger or make eczema and similar rashes worse in sensitive people (2014 case report; 2019 patch-testing data).

Fertility - A toxicology review of alkyl polyglycosides notes animal studies showing male reproductive effects at moderate doses. Animal findings like these suggest a possible reproductive/fertility risk with sufficient exposure (Ecology and Toxicology of Alkyl Polyglycosides, 2004).

Confidence: LOW

Potassium Sorbate

⚠️4/10

For newborns and infants (0–6 months), potassium sorbate is usually low risk for causing illness systemically, but it can cause skin allergies or irritation. Babies have very delicate skin, so we are extra careful with this ingredient.

Immune system - A cosmetic safety review (Cosmetic Ingredient Review) found strong evidence that potassium sorbate can cause allergic reactions in human skin. That means some children could have immune system responses (contact allergy) if their skin touches products with this ingredient.

Irritant - A safety assessment by a cosmetic review panel lists potassium sorbate as a human skin toxicant or allergen. This supports a real risk of skin redness, itching, or rashes when used on sensitive or damaged skin.

Eczema - Because this ingredient is shown to be a skin allergen, it can trigger or make eczema and similar skin conditions worse in people who are sensitive.

Confidence: HIGH

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

Levulinic Acid

✅2/10

For newborns and infants (0–6 months), levulinic acid is generally considered low risk by government and independent reviewers. However, because baby skin is very sensitive and there are limited studies in this exact age group, we recommend extra caution.

No Known Risk - Official safety reviews and government assessments find low concern for this ingredient. Reviews say it is unlikely to cause cancer, is allowed for limited use in food, is not expected to harm organs, and is not likely to persist or build up in the environment or body. A cosmetic expert review notes safe use when following limits on concentration and impurities. For typical topical use, there are no higher-than-low concerns reported.

Confidence: MEDIUM

Sodium Citrate

✅2/10

For infants and newborns (0–6 months) sodium citrate is likely safe when used in small amounts. It’s used to keep products at the right acidity and to help them stay stable. Most safety data show very low concern for long-term health risks, but baby skin can be extra sensitive.

No Known Risk - Reviewed safety information shows only low-level concerns. U.S. food regulators say it is allowed for some food uses, a cosmetic safety panel notes allowed limits and some data gaps but does not show hazards at normal use, and a national environment agency finds it unlikely to harm organs, build up in the body, or persist in the environment. Because no health concern was reported above low, there are no specific risks identified for typical topical use.

Confidence: HIGH

Capryl Glucoside

✅1/10

Capryl Glucoside is a mild nonionic surfactant used in baby wipes for gentle cleansing. It is generally safe and non-irritating for 0-6 month babies.

Confidence: HIGH

Aqua

✅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
