Ingredients Analysis (20 found)

Tea Tree Leaf Oil
🚫9/10
Tea Tree leaf oil can cause skin irritation and toxicity in infants and is not recommended for babies under 6 months often used for antimicrobial effect
Irritant - Tea tree oil is known to cause skin irritation, redness, and rashes, especially on sensitive baby skin, even when diluted.
Absorbed - Tea tree oil can be absorbed through the skin, and there are case reports of systemic toxicity in children after topical use.
Hormones - Some studies have linked tea tree oil to hormone disruption, including cases of prepubertal gynecomastia in boys, suggesting it may act as an endocrine disruptor.
Confidence: HIGH
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
Glyceryl Oleate
⚠️4/10
Glyceryl oleate is usually used to make creams and lotions feel smooth. For newborns and infants (0–6 months) it is generally okay in small amounts, but it has been reported to irritate skin or eyes in some people. Because babies’ skin is very delicate, use products with this ingredient only if they are made for babies.
Irritant - A safety review panel found strong human evidence that this ingredient can irritate skin, eyes, and lungs. That means it can cause redness, stinging, or discomfort on sensitive baby skin or if it gets in the eyes or is inhaled during use (source: Cosmetic Ingredient Review).
Eczema - Because the ingredient is a confirmed skin irritant, it can trigger or make eczema and similar rashes worse in children with sensitive skin. The same safety review cited clear human irritation evidence that supports this risk (source: Cosmetic Ingredient Review).
Asthma - The ingredient has been reported to cause lung irritation in people. That lung irritation can make breathing problems or asthma symptoms worse in children who are sensitive or already have asthma (source: Cosmetic Ingredient Review).
Environmental - A government environmental review flagged this substance as a suspected environmental toxin. That means it may pose harms to wildlife or aquatic life if released into the environment (source: Environment Canada).
Confidence: MEDIUM
Potassium Sorbate
⚠️4/10
For newborns and infants (0–6 months), potassium sorbate is usually low risk for causing illness systemically, but it can cause skin allergies or irritation. Babies have very delicate skin, so we are extra careful with this ingredient.
Immune system - A cosmetic safety review (Cosmetic Ingredient Review) found strong evidence that potassium sorbate can cause allergic reactions in human skin. That means some children could have immune system responses (contact allergy) if their skin touches products with this ingredient.
Irritant - A safety assessment by a cosmetic review panel lists potassium sorbate as a human skin toxicant or allergen. This supports a real risk of skin redness, itching, or rashes when used on sensitive or damaged skin.
Eczema - Because this ingredient is shown to be a skin allergen, it can trigger or make eczema and similar skin conditions worse in people who are sensitive.
Confidence: HIGH
Tocopherol 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
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
Hydrogenated Castor Oil
✅3/10
For newborns and infants (0-6 months), this ingredient is usually low risk but infants have very sensitive skin. Most people do not have problems, but rare allergic skin reactions have been reported.
Confidence: MEDIUM
Lanolin
✅3/10
Lanolin is generally safe as a moisturizer but may cause allergic reactions in sensitive infants especially under 6 months
Confidence: HIGH
Polyglyceryl-3 Polyricinoleate
✅3/10
For newborns and babies 0-6 months: this ingredient is judged to have low concern in the available information, but the safety review used data from a related chemical and direct testing in infants is limited. That means it looks safe, but we should be careful because we don’t have complete baby-specific data.
No Known Risk - Available safety reviews find only low-level concerns and no clear hazards for children from topical use. The cosmetic ingredient review noted the safety assessment relied on a related chemical and recommends limits on concentration and impurities, but did not identify risks above 'low'. Because no higher-level hazards were found, there are no specific child health risks to report.
Confidence: LOW
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
Castor Seed Oil
✅2/10
Ricinus Communis Seed Oil is castor oil used as an emollient generally safe for baby skin but rare allergies possible
Confidence: HIGH
Isopropyl Palmitate
✅2/10
For infants (0–6 months): generally considered low risk and used to make skin feel soft and spread products easily. Because baby skin is very thin and more absorbent, use it with care.
No Known Risk - Reviews and government assessments did not find health hazards above a low level for normal topical use. Safety panels note use limits and some data gaps, but regulators have called it low priority for human health, do not expect it to build up in the body or the environment, and allow limited food uses. Taken together, current evidence does not show any health risks above low for typical use.
Confidence: MEDIUM
Magnesium Sulfate
✅2/10
Magnesium sulfate (often called Epsom-type mineral) is generally considered low risk for skin use. For newborns and infants (0–6 months) the skin is more delicate and there are fewer studies in this age group, so it should be used carefully and not routinely.
No Known Risk - Regulatory reviews find no meaningful health hazards for topical use. The U.S. food agency allows limited use in food, the Canadian health authority says it is not expected to be toxic and ranks it a low human-health priority, and independent cosmetic reviewers note only routine limits on concentration or impurities. It is also not suspected to build up in the body or harm the environment. Based on these official assessments, there are no real, above‑low concerns identified for normal topical use.
Confidence: MEDIUM
Sorbitan Oleate
✅2/10
For newborns and infants (0–6 months), Sorbitan Oleate is generally considered low risk when used in small amounts in creams or lotions. It is not known to cause serious harm, but very young babies have delicate skin and could rarely show redness or sensitivity.
Confidence: MEDIUM
Safflower 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
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
Zinc Oxide
✅1/10
Generally safe for topical use on 0 to 6 month babies, commonly used in diaper rash creams and barrier lotions, with minimal absorption through intact skin
Confidence: HIGH
Olive Oil
✅0/10
Olive oil is Olea Europaea Fruit Oil, a common safe emollient for babies 0-6 months in topical products like shampoo and bodywash.
No Known Risk - Olea Europaea (Olive) Fruit Oil is widely used in baby skincare products and is generally recognized as safe for topical use. There is no strong evidence linking it to irritation, allergies, hormone disruption, or other health risks in babies. Rare cases of sensitivity may occur, but these are uncommon and not specific to infants. Therefore, no risk labels apply based on current research.
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.
