Ingredients Analysis (25 found)

Lavender Oil
🚫8/10
For newborns and infants (0-6 months), avoid putting lavender essential oil on the skin. Babies have very delicate skin and bodies, and there are reports suggesting possible hormone-related effects and skin reactions from lavender products.
Hormones - There are medical case reports and laboratory studies that link topical lavender oil to hormone changes in children, including early breast development and small breast tissue in boys. These findings show the oil can affect normal hormone development in young children.
Confuse Hormones - Research studies found that lavender oil can act like estrogen in lab tests and in reported clinical cases. That means the oil may mimic or confuse the body’s natural hormone signals.
Absorbed - Cases of hormone effects after skin use mean the oil can get through skin and reach the body. Clinical reports showing systemic effects support that topical lavender oil can be absorbed into the bloodstream.
Confidence: HIGH
Lavandula Angustifolia
🚨7/10
Lavender oil can cause skin irritation and allergic reactions in infants and is not recommended for babies under 6 months often used for fragrance
Irritant - Lavender oil can cause skin irritation, redness, or rashes, especially on sensitive baby skin, as documented in dermatological studies.
Hormones - Some studies have suggested that topical lavender oil may have hormone-disrupting effects, such as prepubertal gynecomastia in boys, indicating a potential risk for hormone disruption in babies.
Confidence: HIGH
Orange Essential Oil
🚨7/10
Orange oil can cause skin irritation and allergic reactions in infants and contains sensitizing compounds often used for fragrance
Irritant - Orange oil contains limonene and other citrus compounds that can cause skin irritation, redness, or rashes, especially on sensitive baby skin.
Sun Burn - Orange oil can increase photosensitivity, making skin more prone to sunburn when exposed to sunlight after application.
Confidence: HIGH
Phenoxyethanol
🚨7/10
For infants (0–6 months): be careful. This preservative can irritate delicate baby skin and some countries limit how it’s used. It is not known to cause cancer or birth defects at normal cosmetic levels, but irritation is the main concern.
Irritant - Official hazard listings show this chemical can cause skin, eye, and lung irritation. Regulators classify it as an irritant, so it can make skin red or itchy and bother the eyes or breathing passages.
Asthma - Because it can irritate the lungs, it may make asthma or breathing problems worse. Workplace and hazard listings note lung irritation and limits on inhalation exposure.
Organ Risk - There is limited evidence that it can affect the nervous system and it is listed as toxic/harmful in official hazard codes. That means repeated or high exposures could harm organs like the nervous system.
Absorbed - Safety reviews and workplace data note systemic effects tied to how it is used, and nervous-system findings suggest the chemical can get into the body after skin or workplace exposure.
Banned - Some governments set limits on its use in cosmetics (for example, concentration limits from national health authorities), and some product standards require special proof before it can be used.
Confidence: MEDIUM
Cocamidopropyl Betaine
🚨6/10
For infants (0–6 months) this cleansing ingredient is commonly used in washes and wipes but should be used with care. It can sometimes irritate or cause allergic reactions, and some batches can carry trace contaminants. Babies’ skin is more delicate, so caution is advised.
Immune system - Cosmetic safety reviews (Cosmetic Ingredient Review and draft safety reports) report limited evidence that cocamidopropyl betaine can sensitize skin or trigger allergic reactions. That means it can affect the immune system in some people, especially those with sensitive skin.
Irritant - Industry safety assessments note limited evidence of skin sensitization and explicitly warn the ingredient may be unsafe in products left on the skin (not rinsed off). This shows it can cause redness, itching, or irritation for some users.
Eczema - Safety panels and reports observed cases of sensitization and recommend limits on use and product types. Because it can provoke skin reactions, it may trigger or worsen eczema in sensitive children.
Cancer - Regulatory and industry reviews flag contamination concerns for this ingredient, including nitrosamines and related amines. Nitrosamines are known to be carcinogenic, so impurity risks raise a cancer concern unless impurities are controlled as industry reviewers recommend.
Banned - Expert panels and tentative regulatory reports recommend use, concentration, and manufacturing restrictions for this ingredient and note it is unsafe in some product types (leave-on). While not universally banned, it is subject to regulatory or industry limits in some contexts.
Environmental - A national environmental agency (Environment Canada) flagged this ingredient as a suspected environmental toxin, indicating possible harm to ecosystems if released into the environment.
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
Ethylhexylglycerin
⚠️4/10
For newborns and infants (0–6 months): this ingredient is not among the most dangerous, but it can sometimes cause skin or eye irritation and has been linked to allergic rashes in people. Because babies have very delicate skin, we recommend being careful.
Irritant - The ingredient is classed as an irritant by EU hazard labeling and safety reviewers. Animal studies also show skin, eye and lung irritation. That means it can cause redness, stinging, sore eyes, or breathing discomfort if used on or near a child’s skin or eyes.
Immune system - Human case reports and safety reviews describe allergic contact dermatitis from this ingredient and call it a relevant sensitizer in some cosmetics. This shows it can trigger allergic reactions in sensitive children.
Eczema - Because there are human reports of allergic contact dermatitis, this ingredient can start or make eczema and similar skin rashes worse in children who are sensitive.
Asthma - Animal studies reviewed by safety assessors show respiratory irritation at moderate doses. If the ingredient is inhaled (for example from sprays), it could make breathing issues or asthma worse in susceptible children.
Organ Risk - Safety assessments and animal studies report liver effects at low doses and limited eye toxicity. These findings point to possible harm to organs with repeated or higher exposure.
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
Organic Citrus Sinensis
⚠️4/10
Organic Citrus Sinensis is the botanical name for sweet orange extract. It is a fragrance ingredient that can cause skin irritation or sensitization in babies under 6 months.
Irritant - Sweet Orange Extract contains limonene and other citrus compounds that can cause skin irritation, especially on sensitive baby skin.
Eczema - Citrus extracts can trigger or worsen eczema in sensitive individuals, including infants.
Confidence: HIGH

Confidence: HIGH
Vitamin E
✅3/10
For newborns and babies 0-6 months: small amounts of topical vitamin E in baby products are usually low risk, but because baby skin is delicate and there are reports of contamination and rare reactions, we recommend being careful.
Confidence: MEDIUM
Aloe Barbadensis
✅3/10
Organic Aloe Vera is generally safe for topical use but may cause irritation in sensitive infants under 6 months often used for soothing skin
Confidence: MEDIUM
Aloe-Vera Leaf Extract
✅3/10
For newborns and infants under 6 months, aloe vera leaf extract is usually low risk for adults but may irritate or cause an allergic reaction in babies because their skin is very sensitive. There is limited safety testing specifically in very young babies.
Confidence: LOW-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
Coconut-Based Cleanser
✅2/10
Coconut-Based Cleanser likely refers to mild surfactants derived from coconut oil. These are generally safe and gentle for 0-6 month babies in shampoos and body washes.
Confidence: HIGH
Hydroxyethyl Cellulose
✅1/10
Hydroxyethyl Cellulose is a safe thickener and stabilizer in baby products with low irritation risk
No Known Risk - Hydroxyethyl Cellulose is widely used in topical products, including those for babies, and current research and safety assessments have not identified any significant health risks or concerns associated with its use on baby skin. It is considered non-irritating, non-sensitizing, and not linked to any of the listed risk categories.
Confidence: HIGH
Organic Helianthus Annuus
✅1/10
Sunflower Seed Oil is generally safe for infant skin and is used as a moisturizer in baby products
No Known Risk - Sunflower seed oil is widely used in baby skincare products and is generally considered safe for topical use. There is no strong evidence linking it to irritation, allergies, or other health risks in babies when used on intact skin. It is not associated with hormone disruption, cancer, or other long-term health effects according to current research.
Confidence: HIGH
Vegetable Glycerin
✅1/10
Vegetable glycerin is a common moisturizing agent in baby products. It is very safe for topical use on babies 0-6 months with minimal risk of irritation.
No Known Risk - Vegetable glycerin is widely used in topical products and is generally recognized as safe. There is no evidence linking it to hormone disruption, organ damage, cancer, or other listed risks. It is not known to cause irritation or allergic reactions in most cases and does not build up in the body or pass into breast milk in harmful amounts.
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
Sunflower Seed Oil
✅1/10
Sunflower Seed Oil is very safe for 0-6 month babies in topical products like shampoo and bodywash. It is a natural emollient and commonly used for skin hydration.
Confidence: HIGH
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.
