Ingredients Analysis (15 found)

Glycyrrhiza Glabra Root Extract
🚨7/10
For newborns and babies under 6 months, licorice root extract is not ideal. It can affect a baby’s hormones and salt balance if it gets into their bloodstream, and baby skin soaks up more than adult skin. There is also a small chance of skin irritation or allergy.
Hormones - Multiple human and animal studies show licorice root can change hormone signals. A 2017 toxicology review found strong evidence that it can disrupt the human adrenal system, and other reviews report human-level hormone effects.
Confuse Hormones - Studies report that licorice components can act like or block hormones — for example limited evidence of estrogen-like activity and moderate evidence of anti-androgen effects in people and animals (see the 1997 estrogen study and a 2012 update on plant anti-androgens).
Fertility - There is moderate evidence linking licorice to reproductive harm: a toxicology review and animal studies report effects on the male reproductive system and other reproductive/developmental concerns.
Organ Risk - Reviews link licorice to non-reproductive organ harm, especially the liver, and note possible cardiovascular effects (see the 2017 toxicology review and a 2019 paper on licorice and the cardiovascular system).
Immune system - Animal studies show immune or allergy-related effects at low to moderate doses, indicating a real risk of immune reactions for some people (see a 2018 phytochemical and pharmacological review).
Irritant - Cosmetic safety reviewers report limited evidence that licorice root extract can irritate skin or eyes, so it can cause redness or irritation for sensitive skin.
Confidence: MEDIUM
Chamomilla Recutita Flower Extract
⚠️4/10
For infants (0–6 months): chamomile flower extract is usually low risk for adults, but babies’ skin is much more sensitive. It can sometimes cause a rash or allergic reaction, so avoid using it routinely on newborns or very young babies.
No Known Risk - Major safety reviews find only low or unclear concerns. A cosmetic safety panel says this chamomile extract is generally safe in products when used with limits, and the European chemicals agency notes only limited evidence of skin allergy. A few small human studies and a review reported unclear (equivocal) findings for nerve or pregnancy effects, but the data are not strong. No health concern here is rated above low.
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
Decyl Glucoside
⚠️4/10
For infants (0–6 months): Decyl Glucoside is a gentle cleansing ingredient that is usually safe, but a few babies have had skin reactions. Because newborn skin is extra delicate, I recommend being cautious.
Immune system - Human patch-test studies and clinical case reports have found that decyl glucoside can trigger allergic immune responses in some people. A 2020 UK/Ireland prevalence study and multiple patch-testing reports show possible immune or allergenic effects, so this ingredient can cause allergy-type reactions in sensitive children.
Eczema - Clinical case reports and patch testing have linked decyl glucoside and related alkyl glucosides to allergic contact dermatitis (skin rashes). Because these documented cases show true allergic skin reactions, the ingredient can trigger or worsen eczema in babies with sensitive skin.
Confidence: HIGH
Tetrasodium Glutamate Diacetate
⚠️4/10
For newborns and babies (0-6 months) this ingredient is usually low concern in small amounts, but we are cautious because of possible contamination and limited safety data. If possible, choose products made for infants that avoid this ingredient.
Cancer - A U.S. environmental agency reported limited evidence that this ingredient can act as a mutagen. Mutagen findings raise concern because they can be linked to cancer risk with repeated or high exposure.
Organ Risk - A cosmetic safety review noted animal studies that showed changes in organ weights for mothers and their offspring at high doses. That points to possible harm to organs with repeated or large exposures.
Fertility - The same cosmetic safety review found evidence from animal studies of effects on mothers and offspring at high doses, which suggests possible developmental or reproductive effects.
Irritant - A European chemical agency found limited evidence this ingredient can irritate skin and eyes, and the ingredient file also notes possible irritation to skin, eyes or lungs. This can cause redness, stinging or discomfort on sensitive baby skin.
Absorbed - The ingredient record flags enhanced skin absorption. That means it can get through the skin and into the body more easily, raising the chance that the other risks above could reach internal organs.
Long-Term Risk - The ingredient file flags high contamination concerns (including chemicals such as nitrilotriacetic-type impurities) and also notes data gaps in safety testing. Contamination plus incomplete safety data raise concern for possible long-term health effects if exposure is repeated.
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
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
Calendula Officinalis Flower Extract
✅3/10
For infants (0–6 months): generally low risk when used in small amounts in baby lotions or wipes made for newborn skin. But because it’s a plant extract, some babies can get a skin reaction, especially if they or family members are allergic to daisies/marigolds.
No Known Risk - Safety reviews for this calendula flower extract show only low-level concerns for cancer, allergies, and effects on growth/reproduction. Industry safety panels note limits on how much can be used and say some data are missing, but there is no clear evidence of real harm when used on the skin. Some verified product programs restrict its use unless makers provide extra safety information.
Confidence: MEDIUM
Gluconic Acid
✅3/10
Gluconic acid is usually used in tiny amounts to adjust the acidity of skincare. For infants and newborns (0–6 months) it is likely low risk, but there is limited specific testing on very young baby skin. Because babies’ skin is delicate, we take a cautious approach.
No Known Risk - Government safety reviews find gluconic acid is not expected to be toxic, is not persistent or likely to build up in the body or environment, and is not seen as an environmental toxin. An industry safety panel notes only routine limits on concentration or impurities. No higher-than-low health concerns were identified for typical topical use.
Confidence: MEDIUM
Sodium Benzoate
✅3/10
For newborns and babies 0–6 months: sodium benzoate is a preservative that is generally considered low risk at the small amounts used in skin products, but infant skin is delicate so we take extra care.
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 Bicarbonate
✅2/10
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.
No Known Risk - Government and industry safety reviews find no clear hazards for normal topical use. The U.S. FDA allows limited food uses; Environment Canada says it is not expected to be toxic or to build up in the body; an industry safety panel notes some data gaps and sets safe use limits but does not identify a health risk when used as intended. Based on these assessments, there are no known health risks for typical topical use.
Confidence: HIGH
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
Cucumis Sativus Fruit Extract
✅2/10
Cucumis Sativus is cucumber extract used for soothing skin minor concerns for sensitive baby skin but generally safe in low concentrations
No Known Risk - Cucumber extract is generally considered safe for topical use, including on baby skin. There is no strong evidence linking it to irritation, allergies, or any of the listed health risks in babies. It is commonly used in baby skincare products without reported adverse effects.
Confidence: MEDIUM
Purified 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
