Ingredients Analysis (23 found)

Ceteareth-20

🚨6/10

For newborns and infants (0-6 months), Ceteareth-20 is best avoided when possible. The ingredient itself is a common emulsifier, but concerns come from possible manufacturing contaminants and the fact it can make skin absorb other substances more easily. Baby skin is thinner and more vulnerable.

Cancer - The ingredient assessment lists contamination by ethylene oxide and 1,4-dioxane. Those contaminants are linked to cancer by health authorities, so their presence here is a real cancer concern.

Absorbed - A safety review (Cosmetic Ingredient Review) flags this ingredient as a penetration enhancer. That means it can help other chemicals get through the skin and into the body, raising exposure risk.

Long-Term Risk - Because this ingredient can boost skin absorption and it can be contaminated with harmful chemicals, repeated use could raise health risks over time according to the ingredient assessment and safety review.

Confidence: HIGH

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-7 Glyceryl Cocoate

🚨6/10

For infants (newborns and babies 0-6 months): this ingredient has low overall hazard in adults but there are contamination and absorption concerns that make it riskier for very young babies. Because infants’ skin is thinner and absorbs more, we are cautious.

Cancer - This ingredient can be contaminated with tiny amounts of ethylene oxide and 1,4‑dioxane. Public health authorities list those chemicals as carcinogenic or likely carcinogenic, so their presence as contaminants raises a cancer concern even at low levels.

Absorbed - An industry safety review notes this ingredient can act as a skin penetration enhancer. That means it can help other chemicals (including any contaminants) get through baby skin and into the body.

Long-Term Risk - Because of the contamination risk with chemicals linked to cancer and because safety assessments rely on limited data and related chemicals, there is a real worry about possible harms from repeated, long‑term use.

Organ Risk - One of the contaminants noted (1,4‑dioxane) has been linked by regulators to liver and kidney effects in animal studies, so contamination could pose a risk to organs with repeated exposure.

Confidence: MEDIUM

PEG-40 Hydrogenated Castor Oil

⚠️5/10

For infants (0–6 months): this ingredient is usually used to help oils mix into lotions and wipes. It is not known to be highly toxic, but small amounts of unwanted contaminants have been found in similar ingredients, and newborn skin is extra sensitive. Because of this, it is better to be cautious with products that contain it.

Cancer - This ingredient can carry contamination by ethylene oxide and 1,4‑dioxane. International health agencies list those contaminants as cancer hazards, so their presence raises a real cancer concern if they are in the final product.

Absorbed - PEG‑style, ethoxylated ingredients are applied to skin. If they contain small contamination molecules, those contaminants can move through skin and into the body when used topically.

Long-Term Risk - Independent safety reviewers note gaps and limits in how industry safety panels assess this ingredient and set safe concentration levels. That uncertainty about low-level contamination and repeated use means there is a possible long-term risk with ongoing exposure.

Confidence: MEDIUM

Aloe Vera Leaf Juice

⚠️4/10

Limited safety data for aloe on infants under 6 months possible allergen may cause irritation used as moisturizer

Irritant - Aloe vera leaf juice can cause skin irritation or allergic reactions in some sensitive individuals, including babies, especially if the product is not properly purified or contains latex from the leaf.

Confidence: LOW

Dimethicone

⚠️4/10

Safety information not properly formatted for easy understanding

Builds Up - Regulators have said some forms are persistent and can bioaccumulate in people and wildlife. A REACH substance evaluation and Environment Canada findings name persistence and bioaccumulation as a concern, so this ingredient (or its related siloxanes) can build up over time.

Environmental - Environment Canada flagged this chemistry as suspected to harm the environment. The same evaluations note persistence in wildlife, meaning it can stay in nature and affect animals and ecosystems.

Organ Risk - An assessment by Environment Canada classified non-reproductive organ system toxicity as a concern, meaning repeated exposure may harm organs (for example, liver or kidneys) according to that regulator.

Banned - Some related siloxanes listed as contaminants (for example, cyclopentasiloxane / cyclotetrasiloxane and similar substances) have been heavily restricted by regulators under REACH and by other national reviews. Industry safety reviews also recommend limits or product-type restrictions.

Long-Term Risk - Because parts of this class are persistent and regulators and industry panels recommend use limits, there is a potential for long-term harms from repeated use or environmental build-up, as noted in REACH and Cosmetic Ingredient Review summaries.

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

Avocado Fruit Extract

✅3/10

Persea gratissima fruit extract is avocado extract used as moisturizer minor allergy risk in infants but generally safe in low concentrations

No Known Risk - Avocado extract is generally considered safe for topical use, including on sensitive baby skin. There is no credible evidence linking it to irritation, hormone disruption, cancer, or other health risks in babies based on current research.

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

Polyacrylate Crosspolymer-6

✅3/10

For infants (0-6 months) this ingredient is generally low risk. It’s a non-active ingredient used to thicken or give lotion a smooth feel. The safety listings show few concerns, but very young babies can have extra-sensitive skin.

No Known Risk - Reviewed safety information for this topical ingredient shows low concern across the checked areas—cancer, allergies/immune effects, developmental and reproductive toxicity, and use restrictions. No additional hazard notes or ingredient-specific concerns were reported, so there are no known risks identified in the available assessments.

Confidence: HIGH

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

Cetearyl Alcohol

✅2/10

For infants and newborns (0–6 months): Cetearyl alcohol is a common ingredient that helps creams and lotions feel smooth. When it is used in products made for babies it is usually low risk, but baby's skin is delicate so be a little cautious.

Confidence: MEDIUM

Cucumber Fruit Extract

✅2/10

For infants (0–6 months), cucumber fruit extract is generally considered low risk when used on the skin. But there isn’t a lot of research specifically in newborns, and their skin is very sensitive, so we should be careful.

No Known Risk - Available safety information shows no health concerns above a low level. An industry safety review notes only use or manufacturing limits (such as concentration or impurity guidance), while endpoints like cancer, allergy/immunity, and reproductive effects were all rated low. Because no concern was flagged above low, there are no specific risks identified for typical topical use.

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.
