Ingredients Analysis (18 found)

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
fragrance
🚨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.
Long-Term Risk - Long-term exposure to some fragrance chemicals has been linked to chronic health effects, including hormone disruption and allergic diseases.
Confidence: HIGH
peg-150 distearate
🚨6/10
For newborns and infants (0-6 months) this ingredient is something to be careful with. On its own it is not flagged as highly dangerous, but there are worries about possible contaminants and there isn’t much safety testing specifically in babies.
Cancer - Safety reviews flag high contamination concerns for this ingredient. Small impurity molecules named in the ingredient record (ethylene oxide and 1,4‑dioxane) are specifically listed as contaminants of concern by industry and regulatory safety reviews. Those contaminants are linked to cancer risk, so cancer is a real risk to note.
Long-Term Risk - The ingredient record shows a high contamination concern and also notes gaps in the safety assessment used by industry reviewers. Because the worry is about persistent impurities that can cause harm over time, there is a meaningful long‑term health risk if contaminated product is used repeatedly.
Banned - Industry and regulatory safety guidance place limits or restrictions on use of this ingredient and some product‑verification programs will not allow it without proof of safety. Those restrictions mean the ingredient is subject to heavy controls in certain programs and uses.
Confidence: MEDIUM
peg-80 sorbitan laurate
🚨6/10
Safety information not properly formatted for easy understanding
Irritant - A safety review (Cosmetic Ingredient Review) found strong evidence that this ingredient can cause skin harm or act as an allergen in people. For a baby’s delicate skin, that can mean redness, itch, or rash when used on the skin.
Immune system - The ingredient record flags a moderate concern for allergies and immunotoxicity and cites strong evidence it can trigger skin allergic reactions (Cosmetic Ingredient Review). That means it can activate the immune system and cause allergic responses.
Eczema - Because experts found strong evidence this ingredient is a human skin allergen, it can trigger or make eczema and similar skin conditions worse on sensitive baby skin (Cosmetic Ingredient Review).
Cancer - The ingredient notes include high contamination concerns that name ethylene oxide and 1,4‑dioxane as possible contaminants. Those contaminants are linked to cancer risk, so contaminated material could raise cancer concerns if exposure occurs.
Long-Term Risk - There are data gaps (the safety review relied on related chemicals) and flagged contamination issues. Those gaps plus possible carcinogenic contaminants mean there is potential for long-term health effects with repeated exposure.
Confidence: MEDIUM
disodium edta
⚠️5/10
For newborns and infants (0-6 months): this ingredient is often used in tiny amounts to keep products stable. It is not linked to cancer or reproductive problems at normal low levels, but it can irritate skin and eyes and may help other ingredients get through the skin more easily. Because baby skin is very thin, use extra caution.
Irritant - This ingredient is marked as an irritant for skin, eyes, or lungs under EU GHS hazard labeling. The data calls out a high irritation concern, so it can cause redness, stinging, or breathing irritation—especially on sensitive baby skin.
Absorbed - An industry safety review (Cosmetic Ingredient Review, CIR) lists this chemical as a penetration enhancer. That means it can help other things get through the skin and can itself be absorbed into the body.
Organ Risk - Environment Canada has flagged non-reproductive organ-system toxicity for this substance, including notes that it can be harmful and is a medium human-health priority. That suggests repeated or high exposures could affect organs like the liver or kidneys.
Long-Term Risk - Because the ingredient can enhance skin absorption and has non-reproductive organ toxicity listings, repeated use raises concern for longer-term health effects. Industry reviews also note data gaps and concentration limits, meaning long-term safety depends on how much and how often it is used (Cosmetic Ingredient Review).
Confidence: MEDIUM
methyl gluceth-20
⚠️5/10
For newborns and babies 0–6 months: this ingredient is usually used to help skin stay soft and hold moisture and is not generally linked to cancer or strong allergic or reproductive risks. But there are concerns about contamination with chemicals used in manufacturing. Because babies have very delicate skin, we should be careful.
Cancer - The ingredient record flags a high contamination risk with ethylene oxide and 1,4‑dioxane. Those two contaminants are known by government health agencies and ingredient‑review panels to be linked to cancer, and this is why reviewers restrict use of the ingredient. Small traces left in a product can expose a child to these cancer‑linked contaminants.
Long-Term Risk - Because the ingredient is flagged for high contamination and is restricted by product‑review programs, repeated topical use could lead to small, ongoing exposures. Industry and regulatory reviewers call out the need to control these impurities because chronic low‑level exposure over time raises long‑term health concerns.
Confidence: LOW
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
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
hydrolyzed casein
⚠️4/10
For newborns and babies 0-6 months this ingredient is generally low risk but should be treated with caution because it is derived from milk. It is not expected to be toxic, but it can trigger an allergic skin reaction in infants who are sensitive to cow milk proteins.
No Known Risk - Government and industry safety reviews do not find clear harms. A Canadian health assessment says this ingredient is not expected to be toxic, and an environmental review says it is not suspected to be an environmental toxin. An industry safety panel notes only that safe use can depend on how the ingredient is made and used. All common health concerns (cancer, allergies, developmental harm, and use limits) were rated low, so no risks above low were identified.
Confidence: HIGH
sodium dehydroacetate
⚠️4/10
For newborns and babies under 6 months: this ingredient is a preservative with generally low concern in older people, but we have limited data for very young infants. Because baby skin is delicate, I recommend being cautious.
Hormones - A U.S. regulatory agency links this chemical to endocrine disruption. That means it can affect normal hormone development, which is important for babies and young children.
Confuse Hormones - The same regulatory review notes the chemical can act on hormone systems. This suggests it may act like or block natural hormones and confuse the body's signals.
Fertility - Peer‑reviewed animal studies show effects on development or reproduction at moderate doses, so there is a possible risk to future fertility or reproductive development.
Organ Risk - A European chemicals agency classifies it as toxic or harmful and animal studies show organ effects at some doses, so repeated or high exposures could harm organs like liver or kidneys.
Long-Term Risk - Animal studies report biochemical and cellular changes at moderate doses, which raises concern for possible long‑term health effects with repeated exposure.
Environmental - Hazard labeling and peer‑reviewed studies flag risks to wildlife and the environment, so this ingredient can be toxic to aquatic life or other wildlife in some settings.
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
cocamidopropyl hydroxysultaine
✅3/10
For newborns and babies (0–6 months): this ingredient is generally considered low risk, but there are important manufacturing impurity concerns and a small chance of mild skin or eye irritation. Because babies have very delicate skin, take extra care.
Confidence: MEDIUM
milk protein
✅2/10
Milk protein on the skin is generally low risk, but for infants (newborns, babies 0-6 months) there is a small chance of a skin reaction, especially if the baby has or may develop a cow’s milk allergy. Government and scientific reviews see no major toxic risks for topical use.
Confidence: HIGH
sodium cocoyl isethionate
✅2/10
For infants and newborns (0-6 months), this is a mild cleansing ingredient often found in baby shampoos and washes. It is low risk for long-term harm but babies have very delicate skin, so we should be careful.
No Known Risk - Reviews by a cosmetic safety review panel and a national environment agency found no significant health hazards. The ingredient is not thought to build up in the body or harm organs, and it is considered safe in products when used at the allowed levels (with different limits for rinse-off versus leave-on products). There are some notes about possible mild irritation and that safety limits are set, but overall no real health risks were identified.
Confidence: MEDIUM
allantoin
✅1/10
For infants (0-6 months): Allantoin is generally gentle and considered safe when used on the skin. It soothes and protects and rarely causes allergic reactions. Because baby skin is very delicate, use products made for babies and be cautious.
No Known Risk - Government and industry safety reviews find no evidence that topical use of this ingredient harms organs, builds up in the body, or damages the environment. Reviewers do note some gaps in the safety data and recommend following concentration limits and proper testing for products, but no real hazards were identified for normal skin use.
Confidence: HIGH
panthenol
✅1/10
Panthenol (provitamin B5) is generally safe for infants and newborns. It helps moisturize and soothe baby skin and is rarely irritating. Studies and government reviews do not show it to be toxic when used on skin.
No Known Risk - Health and regulatory reviews (including Canadian and U.S. assessments and industry safety panels) find panthenol has no reported hazards above a low level for topical use. It is not expected to harm organs, does not appear to build up in the body or the environment, and common concerns (cancer, allergies, reproductive effects) were rated low. There are some industry notes about safe use levels and a few data gaps, but no higher-level health risks were identified.
Confidence: HIGH
provitamin B5
✅1/10
Provitamin B5 is commonly used in baby shampoos and body washes for moisturizing and skin conditioning. It is very safe for 0-6 month babies in topical use.
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.
