Ingredients Analysis (11 found)

Rosemary Leaf Oil
🚨7/10
For newborns and babies under 6 months, avoid using rosemary leaf oil on the skin when possible. It can cause skin irritation or allergic reactions and can make skin soak up other substances more easily. Because babies’ skin is thinner and more sensitive, even ingredients that are often allowed for adults can cause problems in infants.
Immune system - There is strong evidence that rosemary leaf oil can cause allergic or immune reactions in people. This ingredient is listed as a human allergen by the EU cosmetics authority and is noted for immune/allergy concerns by other safety reviewers, so it can trigger allergic responses in some children.
Eczema - Rosemary leaf oil has been identified as a skin allergen and can trigger or make eczema and similar rashes worse. This risk is supported by the EU cosmetics listing and safety reviews that note immune or allergy effects in humans.
Organ Risk - Animal studies show metabolic effects at moderate doses, and a European chemicals agency has classified the ingredient as potentially toxic or harmful in some assessments. That means repeated or high exposures could affect organs like the liver or other systems in animals, so there is some organ risk to note.
Brain Development - Animal research shows neuroendocrine or nervous-system effects at moderate doses. That suggests the oil could affect developing brain or hormone-related brain processes if exposure is high, so there is a possible risk to early brain development.
Absorbed - This oil can act as a skin penetration enhancer, meaning it can help other substances (and itself) get through the skin into the body. The Cosmetic Ingredient Review notes this property, so topical use can lead to absorption into the bloodstream.
Confidence: HIGH
Green Tea Leaf Extract
🚨6/10
For infants (0-6 months): Not recommended as a routine ingredient. Green tea extract can cause skin reactions in some people and babies have very sensitive skin. There is limited testing in newborns, so extra caution is needed.
Immune system - This ingredient can cause allergic or immune reactions when put on the skin. An industry fragrance group found strong evidence it can act as a human allergen, and a cosmetic safety review also flagged immune/allergy concerns. That means a child’s immune system could react to it.
Irritant - The ingredient may cause skin redness, itching, or rashes on sensitive skin. The same industry assessment that found allergen evidence supports that it can lead to skin irritation when used topically.
Eczema - It can trigger or make eczema and similar skin conditions worse. Safety reviewers noted allergy and skin-reaction risks, which can worsen existing eczema in babies or children with sensitive skin.
Confidence: MEDIUM
Cannabis Sativa Seed Oil
⚠️5/10
Cannabis Sativa Seed Oil is used as an emollient but limited safety data for 0-6 months babies caution advised due to immature skin barrier
No Known Risk - Cannabis Sativa Seed Oil (hemp seed oil) is widely used in topical products and is generally recognized as safe for use on baby skin. It does not contain THC or CBD, and there is no strong evidence linking it to irritation, hormone disruption, or other health risks when used topically. No major health authorities have flagged it as a risk for babies.
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
Black Tea Leaf Extract
✅3/10
Black Tea Leaf Extract is generally safe and used for antioxidant benefits. For 0-6 months babies in topical sunscreen, minor concerns due to potential skin sensitivity.
Confidence: HIGH
Tocopherol
✅3/10
For newborns and babies (0–6 months): tocopherol (vitamin E) is usually low risk when used in small amounts on the skin, but baby skin is very delicate. There are some safety notes about possible contamination and a rare chance of skin allergy, so take extra care with infants and newborns.
Confidence: MEDIUM
Coffee Seed Extract
✅3/10
For newborns and babies up to 6 months, this coffee plant extract is generally considered low risk based on available safety data, but baby skin is delicate so we recommend being cautious.
No Known Risk - Available safety reviews for topical use of Coffea arabica leaf/seed extract do not show any health concerns above very low levels. No higher-risk issues (such as cancer, hormone or developmental effects, or organ damage) were identified in the ingredient assessments, so there are no specific child health risks flagged for normal skin use. If a child has a known plant allergy or very sensitive skin, try a small patch test or ask your pediatrician.
Confidence: MEDIUM
Mango Butter
✅2/10
Mango butter is generally safe as an emollient but rare allergies possible. Limited data for 0-6 months so caution advised.
No Known Risk - Mango butter is generally considered safe for topical use on babies. There is no credible evidence linking it to irritation, allergies, hormone disruption, or other health risks in infants. It is a natural fat extracted from mango seeds and is widely used in baby skincare products without reported adverse effects.
Confidence: MEDIUM
Cocoa Seed Butter
✅2/10
Theobroma cacao seed butter is cocoa butter used as a skin emollient minor allergy risk but generally safe for baby skin
No Known Risk - Cocoa butter is widely used in baby products and is generally considered safe for topical use on baby skin. There is no strong evidence linking it to irritation, allergies, hormone disruption, or other health risks in babies. Rare allergic reactions may occur, but these are uncommon and not specific to cocoa butter itself. Current research and regulatory guidance do not identify cocoa butter as a risk for babies.
Confidence: HIGH
Sunflower Seed Oil
✅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
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
