Ingredients Analysis (27 found)

Benzyl Alcohol
🚫8/10
For newborns and babies 0–6 months: this ingredient has a higher risk of causing allergic skin reactions and irritation. Because infants absorb more through their skin, it’s safer to avoid benzyl alcohol in baby skin products when you can.
Immune system - Benzyl alcohol is a known human allergen with strong evidence of immune effects. Regulators and scientific reviews list it as an allergenic or immunotoxicant and there are human case reports of allergic reactions, so it can trigger immune responses in children.
Eczema - There are strong reports and regulatory listings showing benzyl alcohol can cause allergic skin reactions. Because of this, it can trigger or make eczema and similar rashes worse on sensitive baby skin.
Irritant - There is documented evidence of skin and eye irritation from benzyl alcohol (including agency evaluations of irritation), so it can cause redness, stinging, or rashes—especially on sensitive or infant skin.
Organ Risk - Government hazard classifications and peer-reviewed sources have identified benzyl alcohol as toxic or harmful to organ systems at some exposures. These classifications indicate repeated or higher exposures could affect organs (for example liver or kidneys).
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
Hydroxycitronellal
🚨7/10
Hydroxycitronellal is a scent chemical that commonly causes skin allergies. For babies 0-6 months (newborns, infants), it is best treated as risky because their skin is very sensitive and more likely to develop a rash or irritation.
Immune system - This ingredient is reported as a known human allergen and immune-system toxicant by European regulatory sources and evaluated as strong evidence of allergic effects by U.S. and industry reviewers. That means it can trigger immune reactions in people who are sensitive.
Irritant - Authorities note cases of skin reactions and limited dermal toxicity, and the ingredient is flagged as a skin allergen by fragrance and chemical safety bodies. This supports a real risk of causing redness, itching or contact dermatitis on sensitive baby skin.
Eczema - Because it is identified as a skin allergen by European regulators and industry groups, it can trigger or worsen eczema and similar allergic skin conditions in people who react to it.
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
PEG-150
🚨7/10
For infants (0-6 months), PEG-150 is best treated with caution. There are noted concerns about contamination during manufacturing and industry guidance says it shouldn't be used on broken or damaged skin. Because newborn skin is thin and more absorbent, it’s safer to avoid products with this ingredient for babies.
Banned - The ingredient record shows high-level use restrictions from the Cosmetic Ingredient Review (CIR). CIR guidance says this ingredient is restricted in cosmetics and should not be used on injured or damaged skin, so it is treated as restricted/heavily limited in some product uses.
Cancer - The ingredient record lists contamination concerns with ethylene oxide and 1,4-dioxane. Those contaminants are recognized hazards and are the reason this ingredient carries a contamination warning in the ingredient data.
Organ Risk - Environment Canada information in the ingredient record classifies this substance as expected to be toxic or harmful to non-reproductive organs and gives it a medium human-health priority, indicating risk to organs with repeated or high exposure.
Irritant - CIR notes in the ingredient record that the ingredient is not safe for use on injured or damaged skin. That warning means it can cause harm or irritation to broken or sensitive skin.
Confidence: MEDIUM
CI 17200 D C Red No 33
🚨7/10
Red 33 is a synthetic dye not recommended for infants under 6 months due to skin absorption risk and potential sensitization often used for color
Irritant - Red 33 (CI 17200) is a synthetic dye that can cause skin irritation, especially in individuals with sensitive skin, including babies.
Absorbed - There is evidence that certain synthetic dyes can be absorbed through the skin, especially when used on compromised or sensitive skin, raising concerns for infants.
Confidence: HIGH
Coumarine
🚨7/10
Coumarin is a fragrance ingredient that is known to cause allergic reactions in people and may make skin absorb things more easily. For newborns and babies (0–6 months) it is safer to avoid products that contain it.
Immune system - This ingredient is listed as a known human allergen and immune-system toxicant by EU regulatory sources and by the fragrance industry group. That means it can trigger immune reactions in people, including children.
Irritant - Regulatory and industry data note limited but clear evidence of skin toxicity and allergic skin reactions. This can cause redness, itching, or rashes on sensitive or baby skin.
Eczema - Because it is a known skin allergen with reported dermal reactions from EU and chemical safety authorities, it can trigger or worsen eczema and similar skin conditions in susceptible children.
Absorbed - This substance is identified as a penetration enhancer by EU cosmetic regulators, meaning it can increase skin uptake and itself be absorbed through the skin into the body.
Banned - Authorities note this compound was formerly allowed as a food additive but is now prohibited in food and is restricted in some cosmetic uses, so some countries or programs ban or tightly limit its use.
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
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
Sorbic Acid
🚨6/10
For newborns and babies up to 6 months, sorbic acid is a preservative that is mostly considered low risk for things like cancer, but it can irritate skin or cause allergic reactions. Because babies’ skin is very sensitive and there’s limited safety data for this age, extra caution is advised.
Immune system - A safety review by the Cosmetic Ingredient Review (CIR) found strong evidence that sorbic acid can cause allergic and immune reactions in skin. Because it can trigger contact allergy, it is a real immune-system concern when put on skin, especially for children with sensitive skin.
Irritant - The CIR identifies sorbic acid as a human skin toxicant/allergen. That means it can cause skin redness, itching, or rashes when applied, so it can irritate sensitive baby skin.
Eczema - Because sorbic acid can cause skin allergic reactions, it can trigger or worsen eczema and similar flare-ups in children with atopic or sensitive skin, per the CIR safety findings and its recommended use limits.
Confidence: MEDIUM
Glycereth-26
⚠️5/10
For newborns and infants (0-6 months), this ingredient is best avoided when possible. While overall risk is low for older people, there are reports of possible contamination and skin irritation and little direct data for very young babies.
Cancer - The ingredient's safety summary flags contamination with ethylene oxide and 1,4‑dioxane. Those contaminants are widely recognized by public health authorities as carcinogenic or probable carcinogens, so their presence (even as impurities) raises a cancer concern with topical use.
Long-Term Risk - A high-level contamination concern is noted for this ingredient. Contaminants such as ethylene oxide and 1,4‑dioxane are linked to health effects that can appear after repeated or long-term exposure, so ongoing use of products containing this ingredient could carry long-term health risk.
Absorbed - This ingredient is used topically and the safety notes identify small, soluble contaminants. Topical exposure can allow contaminants to enter the body through the skin, so impurities present in the ingredient can lead to internal exposure.
Confidence: LOW
Lavandula Angustifolia Flower Extract
⚠️5/10
For newborns and infants (0–6 months), lavender flower extract is generally considered low risk, but babies this young have very sensitive skin. Because a major cosmetic safety program restricts its use in verified products without extra proof, it’s safest to be cautious with direct application on babies.
No Known Risk - The ingredient record shows only low-level concerns for cancer, allergies/immune effects, and developmental or reproductive effects with topical use, and no higher-level hazards were found. It is sometimes restricted by product-verification programs unless supported by extra safety data, but this is not a direct health danger for typical use on skin. Based on the available information, there are no real risks identified for children from normal topical use.
Confidence: MEDIUM
Benzoic Acid
⚠️4/10
For newborns and babies 0–6 months: benzoic acid is a preservative with low concerns in broad safety reviews, but expert panels limit how it can be used in products. Babies’ skin is delicate, so we should be cautious.
Banned - Some regulators limit how benzoic acid can be used in cosmetics. A national health agency in Japan sets concentration limits for its use, and a cosmetic safety review group says it can only be used under specific concentration or product-type rules. Because of these legal and industry limits, products may be restricted or not allowed unless makers follow those rules.
Confidence: MEDIUM
Chamomilla Recutita Flower Extract
⚠️4/10
For infants (0–6 months): chamomile flower extract is usually low risk for adults, but babies’ skin is much more sensitive. It can sometimes cause a rash or allergic reaction, so avoid using it routinely on newborns or very young babies.
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: 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
Diethylhexyl Syringylidenemalonate
⚠️4/10
Diethylhexyl Syringylidenemalonate is not a recognized cosmetic or topical ingredient. It may be a misreading or typo and lacks safety data for baby use.
Confidence: HIGH
Avena Sativa Kernel Extract
✅3/10
Oat Kernel Extract is used for soothing skin but may cause reactions in sensitive infants under 6 months especially with eczema or oat allergy
No Known Risk - Oat kernel extract 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, except in rare cases of oat allergy. For the general population, it does not pose known risks based on current research.
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.
Confidence: HIGH
Hydroxypropyltrimonium Chloride
✅2/10
For infants (0-6 months): this is a mild conditioner used in baby shampoos and washes. Safety records show very low concerns overall, but newborn skin is extra sensitive, so we stay cautious.
No Known Risk - Available safety assessments for this topical ingredient show only low-level concerns (for cancer, allergies, reproductive effects, and use limits). No higher-level health risks were found for normal topical use, so there are no known significant harms for children when used as intended.
Confidence: HIGH
CI 42090 FD C Blue No 1
✅2/10
For newborns and infants (0–6 months) Blue 1 is considered low risk by public ingredient safety listings, but babies’ skin is very sensitive. It’s best to avoid products with added color on infants this young unless needed.
No Known Risk - Blue 1 is used on the skin and safety reviews report only low-level concerns for cancer, allergies/immunity, and developmental or reproductive effects. No higher-than-low risks or restrictions were identified for typical topical use, so there are no known health risks based on the available assessments.
Confidence: HIGH
German Chamomile Extract
✅2/10
German chamomile extract is often used to calm skin and is usually low risk, but for newborns and babies under 6 months we should be careful. There is limited safety data and some small reports of possible allergic or other rare effects.
No Known Risk - Reviews by cosmetic safety experts and regulatory assessments found only limited or mixed information and did not identify clear hazards for topical use. A few small human case reports and a clinical review noted possible, but unclear, effects; these were inconclusive and not strong enough to show a real risk. Because the evidence is weak and inconsistent, no health risks above low were identified for this ingredient.
Confidence: MEDIUM
Lactuca Scariola Sativa Leaf Extract
✅2/10
This lettuce leaf extract is generally considered low risk based on the available safety notes. For infants (0-6 months) it’s likely safe in small amounts, but there’s limited testing in newborns, so we take a cautious approach.
No Known Risk - Available safety summaries and ingredient assessments list only low-level concerns for cancer, allergies or immune effects, and developmental/reproductive effects, and show no use restrictions for topical use. In plain terms, current evidence does not show any real health risk for babies or children from normal skin use of this lettuce leaf extract.
Confidence: MEDIUM
Matricaria Flower
✅2/10
Matricaria Flower is chamomile known for soothing properties and is generally safe in topical baby products but may cause mild allergies in sensitive infants
Confidence: HIGH
Hydroxypropyl Guar
✅1/10
Hydroxypropyl Guar is a mild, plant-based thickener used in shampoos, washes and creams. For newborns and babies 0–6 months it is usually low risk when used in small amounts and in products made for infants.
Confidence: MEDIUM
Caprylic Capric Triglyceride
✅1/10
This ingredient is a gentle, lightweight oil used to moisturize skin. For newborns and babies (0–6 months) it is generally safe when used in normal baby lotions or wipes.
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.
Confidence: HIGH
