Ingredients Analysis (19 found)

Viola Tricolor Extract

🚨6/10

For infants (0–6 months) — newborns and babies — this plant extract is not well studied. Some lab and animal studies found effects on the nervous system and immune response, and plant extracts can cause skin reactions. Because babies’ skin and systems are still developing, avoid regular use on infants under 6 months.

Immune system - A lab study called "Immunosuppressive activity of an aqueous Viola tricolor herbal extract" found that this plant extract can change immune responses. That means it could weaken or change a child’s immune system if used, so families should be careful with repeated or large exposures.

Brain Development - An animal study titled "Anticonvulsant Activity of Viola tricolor against Seizures Induced by Pentylenetetrazol and Maximal Electroshock in Mice" showed effects on the nervous system at moderate doses. Because the study found brain-related activity in animals, there is a possible risk to early brain growth if children get repeated or high exposures.

Confidence: MEDIUM

Borage Seed Oil

⚠️5/10

Borago Officinalis Seed Oil may cause skin irritation or allergic reactions in infants and contains pyrrolizidine alkaloids use with caution

Irritant - Topical use of borage seed oil may cause skin irritation or contact dermatitis in sensitive individuals, including babies.

Confidence: MEDIUM

Alcohol

⚠️5/10

Alcohol can cause skin irritation and dryness in babies 0-6 months but is often used as a preservative or solvent in baby lotions. Use with caution.

Confidence: HIGH

Beeswax

✅3/10

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

Confidence: MEDIUM-HIGH

Cetearyl Glucoside

✅3/10

For newborns and babies (0–6 months), this ingredient is generally low risk when used in small amounts in a product made for babies. Because baby skin is thinner and more sensitive, we take extra caution.

Confidence: MEDIUM

Glyceryl Caprylate

✅3/10

For infants (0–6 months): this ingredient is usually low risk in adults, but because newborn skin soaks up products more easily and there are notes from safety reviewers about possible hormone effects and increased absorption, it’s safer to be cautious with babies.

Confidence: MEDIUM

Marshmallow Root Extract

✅3/10

Althaea Officinalis Extract is marshmallow root used for soothing skin but limited safety data for infants under 6 months so minor concerns

No Known Risk - Marshmallow Root Extract is generally considered safe for topical use, with no evidence in scientific literature linking it to irritation, hormone disruption, cancer, or other health risks in babies. It is commonly used in baby skincare products and has a long history of safe use. No known adverse effects have been reported for topical application on infants.

Confidence: MEDIUM

Sesame Seed Oil

✅3/10

Sesamum Indicum Seed Oil is sesame oil used as an emollient. Rare allergy risk exists especially in infants. Generally safe but caution for 0-6 months.

No Known Risk - Sesame oil is generally considered safe for topical use on baby skin, with no strong evidence linking it to major health risks such as irritation, hormone disruption, or long-term effects. Allergic reactions are possible but rare, and not enough to warrant a specific risk label based on current research.

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

Glyceryl Stearate SE

✅2/10

For newborns and babies (0–6 months), this ingredient is generally considered low risk and is commonly used in baby creams. But babies’ skin is very thin, so we are careful.

Confidence: MEDIUM

Hydrogenated Coco-Glycerides

✅2/10

For a newborn or baby (0–6 months): this ingredient is a gentle skin softener and thickener and is generally low risk. Because babies’ skin is extra sensitive, we treat it with extra caution.

No Known Risk - A professional cosmetic safety review (Cosmetic Ingredient Review) notes only low-level concerns and no higher-risk flags. Reported data show low concern for cancer, allergies, and reproductive or developmental harm, and any use limits are handled by industry safety guidance, so there are no identified risks above low.

Confidence: MEDIUM

Squalane

✅2/10

Squalane is a mild oil that helps moisturize a newborn’s skin and is usually well tolerated. For most babies it is low risk, but because infants are very small and still developing, we recommend cautious use.

Confidence: MEDIUM

Cocoa 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

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

Safflower Seed Oil

✅1/10

Safflower Seed Oil is generally safe for infant skin and used as a moisturizer in baby products with low allergy risk

No Known Risk - Safflower oil is widely used in baby skincare products and is generally considered safe for topical use on infants. There is no strong evidence linking it to irritation, allergies, or other health risks in babies when used as directed. It is not associated with hormone disruption, cancer, or other long-term health effects according to current research.

Confidence: HIGH

Sunflower Seed Oil Unsaponifiables

✅1/10

This ingredient is a gentle plant oil ingredient used to moisturize. For newborns and babies 0–6 months it is generally very low risk when used in regular baby products made for sensitive skin.

No Known Risk - Available safety reviews report only low concern for cancer, allergies/immunotoxicity, and developmental or reproductive effects for topical use. An industry safety panel also flagged data gaps and recommends limits on how much of the ingredient is used, and some verification programs require extra proof before allowing it. Taken together, current evidence does not show any real health risks for typical use on skin.

Confidence: MEDIUM

Sweet Almond Oil

✅1/10

Sweet almond oil is commonly used in baby products for its moisturizing properties and is generally safe for 0-6 month babies in topical use.

No Known Risk - Sweet Almond Oil is widely used in baby skincare products and is generally considered safe for topical use on babies.

Confidence: HIGH

Xanthan Gum

✅1/10

For babies 0–6 months (newborns and infants): xanthan gum is generally very safe when used in skincare like wipes or lotions. It’s a thickener that usually sits on the skin and rarely causes problems.

No Known Risk - Safety reviews and regulatory assessments find no health hazards above a low level for topical use. It is approved for limited use in food, classified as not expected to be toxic and a low human-health priority, and not suspected to be an environmental toxin. Cosmetic industry reviewers note only guidance on concentrations or purity. Because no concern was rated above low, no specific risks were identified for babies or children.

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.
