melaleuca alternifolia (tea tree) leaf oil

🚫8/10

For infants (0–6 months) this oil is best treated as risky. Babies’ skin is thin and absorbs more, and tea tree oil can cause allergic rashes or irritation. There are also limited reports suggesting possible hormonal or developmental effects. Because of these factors, it’s safer to avoid this oil on newborns and young babies.

Immune system - Tea tree oil has clear evidence of causing allergic skin reactions. A multicenter study of contact dermatitis and regulatory reviews list it as a known dermal allergen, showing people can become sensitized and have allergy-driven reactions.

Irritant - There are multiple reports and regulatory reviews showing tea tree oil can irritate skin, eyes, and lungs. Animal studies also show irritation at low doses and expert reviews note limited but real irritation risk.

Eczema - Because tea tree oil is a known skin sensitizer and irritant, it can trigger or make eczema and similar skin rashes worse, as noted in clinical studies and regulatory assessments.

Hormones - There is limited evidence linking tea tree oil to hormone effects in children — case reports have tied it to prepubertal breast changes, and reviews flag possible endocrine activity, so it may affect hormone development in sensitive youngsters.

Fertility - Animal studies and safety reviews report reproductive and developmental effects at low doses in some tests, indicating a potential risk to reproductive health with repeated or high exposures.

Organ Risk - Some regulatory bodies and scientific reviews note limited evidence of systemic (non-reproductive) toxicity and have differing classifications; this points to a possible risk to organs with repeated or high exposure.

Absorbed - Safety reviews identify components of tea tree oil as penetration enhancers, meaning they can increase skin absorption and allow more of the substance into the body.

Asthma - There is limited evidence that tea tree oil can irritate the lungs, so inhalation or use around the face could worsen breathing problems or asthma in sensitive children.

Environmental - Some regulatory assessments report potential wildlife or environmental toxicity for tea tree oil, so it may have environmental impacts if released in quantity.

Confidence: HIGH

citrus paradisi (grapefruit) seed extract [CITRICIDAL]

⚠️4/10

For infants (0-6 months, newborns, babies): grapefruit seed extract itself is not flagged as highly toxic, but there are real concerns about contamination and unclear information about irritation or allergies. Because babies’ skin is very delicate, it’s safer to avoid this ingredient in everyday baby skincare.

Confidence: MEDIUM

Zea mays (corn) starch (modified)

✅2/10

For infants 0–6 months, this ingredient is generally safe on skin when used carefully and in tiny amounts. The main risk is breathing in loose powder.

Confidence: HIGH

silicon dioxide

✅1/10

For infants (0-6 months) silicon dioxide in skin products is generally safe. It is commonly used to keep creams and lotions from clumping and is not known to cause cancer or developmental problems at the levels used on skin.

No Known Risk - Reviewed safety information for topical colloidal silicon dioxide shows low concern for cancer, allergies or immune effects, developmental or reproductive harm, and use restrictions. For normal skin use there are no identified hazards that rise above a low level of concern.

Confidence: HIGH
