Ingredients Analysis (19 found)

Methylisothiazolinone
🚫9/10
For infants (newborns to 6 months): not recommended. This preservative can cause strong skin allergies and rashes in babies, and has been linked to reactions from baby wipes and other products.
Immune system - This ingredient is a known skin sensitizer and can trigger immune reactions. Toxicity reviews and safety assessments list strong evidence that it causes allergic reactions in people, and regulators note it as an allergen.
Eczema - There are human case reports of children who developed allergic contact dermatitis after exposure (for example, from baby wipes). These cases show it can start or make eczema and similar rashes worse.
Irritant - Workplace and safety reports show it can irritate skin, eyes, or lungs and act as a skin irritant for some people.
Banned - Government safety opinions and national agencies have restricted or banned its use in cosmetics in some places and set limits on how it may be used, indicating regulatory concern about safety.
Confidence: HIGH
Hexyl Cinnamal
🚫8/10
For infants (0–6 months): not recommended. Hexyl Cinnamal is a fragrance chemical that commonly causes allergic skin reactions and can irritate sensitive skin.
Immune system - This ingredient is flagged as an allergen. The EU cosmetics rules list it as a known human allergen, and the European Chemicals Agency shows limited but real evidence of skin and immune system reactions. Because the data mark allergies as a high concern, people (including children) with sensitive skin could get rashes or other allergic responses.
Hormones - Animal studies reviewed by the U.S. EPA found signs of endocrine disruption at moderate doses. That means the chemical can change normal hormone signals in the body, which could be important for growing children even if human evidence is limited.
Organ Risk - The European Chemicals Agency has classified this ingredient as toxic or harmful in some assessments for non-reproductive organs. That suggests repeated or high exposure could hurt organs (for example liver, lungs, or kidneys) even though some other agencies view the risk differently.
Confidence: HIGH
Limonene
🚫8/10
Limonene is a citrus fragrance ingredient that can irritate newborn and infant skin and can cause allergies, especially after it has been exposed to air and oxidizes. For babies 0–6 months, it’s safer to avoid it.
Immune system - This ingredient is listed as a known human allergen and has multiple regulatory flags for immune-system effects (EU cosmetics and hazard labeling rules, and US regulatory listings). That means it can trigger allergic reactions or other immune effects in some people, including children.
Eczema - Experts and regulatory lists identify this chemical as a skin allergen and sensitizer (EU hazard and cosmetics notices). For babies or kids with sensitive skin or a history of eczema, it can trigger or worsen rash and contact dermatitis.
Irritant - Hazard classifications name this ingredient as a skin and general irritant (EU GHS hazard codes). It can cause redness, stinging, or eye and lung irritation if it touches or is breathed in.
Cancer - The ingredient record flags contamination concerns with formaldehyde. Formaldehyde is classified as a carcinogen by international cancer authorities, so contamination raises a potential cancer-related risk if present.
Builds Up - Some environmental assessments and peer-reviewed studies list this chemical as persistent and bioaccumulative in wildlife (OSPAR and scientific literature), meaning it can build up in the environment and animals over time.
Environmental - Regulatory hazard listings and ecological reviews note possible harm to wildlife and the environment (EU hazard codes and environmental assessments). This means its release or repeated use can be harmful to ecosystems.
Confidence: HIGH
Linalool
🚨7/10
For newborns and babies (0–6 months): linalool is a fragrance ingredient that can cause skin allergies and irritation. Because babies’ skin is very delicate, it’s safer to avoid it when possible.
Immune system - This ingredient is listed as a known human allergen and a possible immune-system toxicant in official cosmetic safety reviews (European cosmetics rules) and is flagged with strong evidence by the U.S. regulator. That means it can trigger allergic reactions or immune responses in some children.
Irritant - Official cosmetic guidance requires labeling for this ingredient because it can cause allergic skin reactions. The safety reviews identify it as a human allergen, so it can cause redness, itching, or rashes on sensitive baby skin.
Eczema - Because this ingredient is a known allergen and can provoke skin reactions, it may trigger or make eczema and similar skin conditions worse in susceptible children.
Cancer - A contamination concern was specifically flagged for formaldehyde being associated with this ingredient. Formaldehyde is recognized in safety summaries as a harmful contaminant linked to cancer risk, so contamination raises a cancer-related concern.
Confidence: HIGH
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
Tetrasodium EDTA
🚨7/10
For newborns and babies 0–6 months: try to avoid products that list Tetrasodium EDTA. It is usually used in tiny amounts and is not linked to cancer or birth defects, but it can irritate sensitive skin and can make the skin take in more of other ingredients. That makes it riskier for infants with very thin, developing skin.
Irritant - This ingredient is officially classed as an irritant by the EU GHS hazard codes. That means it can cause skin or eye redness, itch, or breathing irritation if it touches skin or is breathed in.
Organ Risk - Environment Canada lists this chemical as expected to be toxic or harmful to non-reproductive body systems and gives it a medium human-health priority. That signals a real risk of harm to organs (for example liver or kidneys) with harmful exposures.
Absorbed - A cosmetic safety panel (Cosmetic Ingredient Review) identifies this ingredient as a penetration enhancer. That means it can help other substances, and itself, get through the skin into the body.
Long-Term Risk - Workplace limits and the medium health-priority classification (reported by regulators) indicate caution for repeated or long-term exposure. Those findings suggest possible health effects after years of exposure.
Confidence: MEDIUM
CI 15985 FD&C Yellow No 6
🚨7/10
Yellow 6 is a synthetic dye not recommended for infants under 6 months due to possible skin irritation and allergy risk likely used for color
Irritant - Yellow 6 (Sunset Yellow FCF) has been reported to cause skin irritation in sensitive individuals, especially with topical exposure.
Cancer - Some studies have raised concerns about the potential carcinogenicity of Yellow 6, with animal studies showing tumor formation at high doses, though evidence in humans is limited.
Banned - Yellow 6 is banned or restricted in some countries due to health concerns, including Norway and Finland in the past.
Confidence: HIGH
Lauramidopropyl Betaine
🚨6/10
Safety information not properly formatted for easy understanding
Immune system - An expert safety review noted limited evidence that this ingredient can cause immune or allergic reactions. The same safety panel flagged allergies and immune effects as a concern (rated above low), so people with sensitive skin or known allergies could react.
Irritant - The safety assessment and expert report list limited evidence of allergy and skin reactions tied to this ingredient and related compounds. That means it can cause redness, itch, or contact dermatitis in some people, especially on sensitive baby skin.
Banned - Cosmetic safety reviewers and a product verification program have placed restrictions on use and require limits or proof for including this ingredient in certified products. An expert panel specifically recommended use or concentration limits, which signals regulatory caution.
Long-Term Risk - The ingredient record flags high contamination concerns: specific impurities (for example, 3‑dimethylaminopropylamine and related amines) were identified. Impurities can create risks over time with repeated exposure, so long-term safety depends on manufacturing controls.
Confidence: MEDIUM
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
Sodium Trideceth Sulfate
🚨6/10
For infants (0–6 months): use caution. This ingredient is a soap-like cleaner that can be irritating and carries a manufacturing contamination risk that is more important for newborn skin than the ingredient's base toxicity.
Cancer - The ingredient report flags high contamination concerns for ethylene oxide and 1,4‑dioxane being present as impurities. Those two contaminants are linked to cancer by public health authorities, so their possible presence in this ingredient is a real cancer risk if children are exposed.
Long-Term Risk - Because the ingredient can carry harmful impurities and industry guidance calls for limits on impurities and manufacturing methods, repeated use over time could raise long-term health risks. The ingredient report specifically notes high contamination concerns and cites industry review recommending controls on impurities.
Confidence: HIGH
Parfum 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
Caramel
⚠️5/10
Caramel is a coloring agent with limited safety data for infants under 6 months topical use avoid due to possible impurities
No Known Risk - Caramel, when used topically, is generally considered safe and does not have evidence linking it to skin irritation, hormone disruption, cancer, or other health risks in babies. There are no studies or regulatory warnings indicating topical caramel poses a risk to infants or children.
Confidence: MEDIUM
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
Propanediol
⚠️4/10
For newborns and babies (0-6 months) propanediol is not usually thought to be highly toxic, but it can make skin absorb other things more and has been linked to skin irritation in some studies. Because babies’ skin is very delicate, I recommend being cautious.
Irritant - Propanediol has been linked to skin, eye, or lung irritation. It is listed as a skin irritant by the U.S. National Library of Medicine, and both the European chemical regulator and a cosmetics safety review report limited evidence of irritation. This means it can cause redness, itching or rashes—especially on sensitive baby skin.
Absorbed - Propanediol is noted as a penetration enhancer by the Cosmetic Ingredient Review. That means it can help itself or other ingredients move through the skin and into the body, increasing the chance of absorption into the bloodstream.
Confidence: MEDIUM
Mel Honey
⚠️4/10
Mel Honey is not a recognized ingredient name it may be a misreading or typo and cannot be properly evaluated for safety
Confidence: HIGH
Chamomilla Recutita Extract
✅3/10
Chamomile extract is generally safe but may cause rare allergic reactions in sensitive infants used for soothing and anti inflammatory effects
Confidence: MEDIUM
Polyquaternium-11
✅2/10
For newborns and babies 0-6 months: this ingredient is generally seen as low risk in safety reviews, but there is limited data and some product programs limit its use. Because baby skin is very sensitive, use extra caution.
No Known Risk - A government review found this ingredient is not expected to be toxic to organs, and it is not likely to build up in the body or harm the environment. An industry safety panel notes limits on how it is used and some gaps in data, but no higher-level health concerns (like cancer, hormone or developmental risks) were identified. Based on those reviews, there are no known health risks above low concern.
Confidence: MEDIUM
Chamomilla Recutita Flower Extract
✅1/10
Chamomilla Recutita Flower Extract is commonly used for its soothing properties in baby products and is generally very safe for 0-6 month babies in topical use.
No Known Risk - Major safety reviews find only low or unclear concerns. A cosmetic safety panel says this chamomile extract is generally safe in products when used with limits, and the European chemicals agency notes only limited evidence of skin allergy. A few small human studies and a review reported unclear (equivocal) findings for nerve or pregnancy effects, but the data are not strong. No health concern here is rated above low.
Confidence: HIGH
Aqua 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.
