Ingredients Analysis (20 found)

Benzyl Benzoate

🚫9/10

Benzyl benzoate is not recommended for newborns and infants under 6 months. It commonly triggers skin irritation and allergic reactions, and a baby’s skin is thinner and more sensitive than an older child’s or an adult’s.

Immune system - This chemical is listed by the EU Cosmetics Directive and by the International Fragrance Association as a known human allergen. That means it can trigger immune reactions in people who touch it, so a child could have an allergic response to a product that has this ingredient.

Irritant - Because regulators require special labeling for allergens, and industry guidance shows strong evidence of allergic responses, this ingredient can cause skin irritation such as redness and itching when used on skin.

Eczema - Regulatory and industry sources identify this ingredient as a skin allergen. That same allergen activity can trigger or make eczema and contact dermatitis worse in sensitive children.

Organ Risk - Workplace safety listings under EU GHS set limits and note that exposures must be kept low. Those restrictions exist because higher or repeated exposures raise concerns about harm from this chemical, so workplace rules show potential organ-related risk with greater exposure.

Confidence: HIGH

Arnica Montana Flower Extract

🚨7/10

For infants (0–6 months), avoid putting Arnica Montana Flower Extract on their skin. It can cause allergic skin reactions and newborn skin is very sensitive.

Immune system - A cosmetic safety review found strong evidence that arnica flower extract can cause skin-triggered immune reactions. A safety database also flags moderate concern for allergies and immune effects, so children could have allergic responses after skin contact.

Irritant - The same safety review describes arnica flower extract as a human skin toxicant or allergen, meaning it can cause redness, itching, or rashes on contact. Because it is applied to the skin, it can irritate sensitive baby or child skin.

Eczema - Because arnica flower extract can cause allergy and skin irritation, it may trigger or make eczema and similar skin conditions worse in children who are prone to them. Safety notes list a moderate concern for allergic skin reactions.

Confidence: MEDIUM

Sodium Hydroxide

🚨6/10

For infants and newborns (0–6 months): sodium hydroxide is a strong chemical that can burn or irritate when concentrated. In baby lotions and cleansers it is usually used in tiny amounts to set the product’s acidity and is neutralized in the finished product. Still, because babies have very thin, delicate skin, this ingredient is more worrisome for newborns than for older children or adults.

Banned - This ingredient is restricted for use in cosmetics in some regions. The EU cosmetics rules list limits on its use, and industry safety reviewers say it can only be used safely at certain low concentrations or when specially handled.

Organ Risk - Authorities have flagged possible harm to organs with repeated or high exposures. A national health agency classified it as expected to be toxic or harmful and gave it a medium human-health priority, and a U.S. assessment found toxic effects in animal studies. There is also limited evidence of breathing-related toxicity noted by a medical literature source.

Asthma - There is limited evidence that breathing in this chemical can hurt the lungs or airways. Medical literature notes possible respiratory toxicity, so it could make breathing problems worse if a child is exposed to vapor or mist.

Confidence: HIGH

Rosemary Leaf Extract

🚨6/10

Rosemary leaf extract comes from the rosemary plant and is used to help preserve or lightly scent skin products. For newborns and infants (0–6 months) it can sometimes cause skin irritation or allergic rashes.

Immune system - This rosemary leaf extract is linked to allergic and immune reactions. A European cosmetics safety rule lists strong evidence that it can act as a human allergen, and a U.S. cosmetics review also flagged immune/allergy concerns. That means it can trigger unwanted immune responses in some people.

Irritant - The ingredient has been identified as a human allergen, which can cause skin redness, itching, or contact reactions when applied to the skin. This is supported by the same European safety finding that showed strong evidence of allergenicity.

Eczema - Because it can cause allergic skin reactions, this extract may trigger or make eczema and similar rashes worse in sensitive individuals, as noted by cosmetic safety reviewers who raised immune/allergy concerns.

Confidence: HIGH

Acrylates Crosspolymer

⚠️5/10

For newborns and babies under 6 months this ingredient is not proven harmful, but experts have flagged possible contamination with chemicals like benzene and some acids, and it can sometimes irritate skin or eyes. Because babies’ skin is very delicate, we recommend being careful.

Cancer - The ingredient record lists benzene as a possible contaminant. Benzene is classified as a cancer-causing chemical by major health authorities (for example IARC and the U.S. EPA). Because benzene can cause cancer, its presence as a contaminant is a real risk with repeated or high exposures.

Irritant - The record also lists acrylic acid and methacrylic acid as possible contaminants. These acids can irritate skin, eyes, and lungs, and a cosmetic safety review panel (CIR) has flagged irritation concerns for this ingredient. That means some people, especially babies with sensitive skin, could get redness, stinging, or breathing irritation if exposed to contaminated material.

Banned - A cosmetic safety review (CIR) recommends limits on impurities for this ingredient, and a product verification program restricts its use unless makers provide safety proof. This shows some regulators and certifiers limit or exclude the ingredient without extra testing or impurity controls.

Confidence: MEDIUM

Caprylhydroxamic Acid

⚠️5/10

Caprylic Hydroxamic Acid is a preservative with limited safety data for infants under 6 months use with caution due to immature skin barrier

Irritant - Caprylhydroxamic Acid can cause skin irritation, especially in sensitive individuals or with prolonged exposure, which is a concern for babies' delicate skin.

Confidence: MEDIUM

Cranberry Fruit Extract

⚠️5/10

Vaccinium macrocarpon is cranberry extract used for antioxidant properties but limited safety data for infants under 6 months caution advised

No Known Risk - Cranberry extract is generally considered safe for topical use, with no evidence in scientific literature linking it to skin irritation, hormone disruption, cancer, or other health risks in babies. There are no known reports of adverse effects when used on baby skin, so it is considered low risk based on current research.

Confidence: MEDIUM

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

Polysorbate 60

⚠️4/10

For newborns and babies (0–6 months): Polysorbate 60 itself is not highly toxic, but there are manufacturing-related contamination concerns and a small chance of skin irritation. Because babies’ skin is very delicate, we should be careful.

Cancer - Safety notes flag that this ingredient can be contaminated with ethylene oxide and 1,4‑dioxane. Those two chemicals are linked to cancer by major health agencies, so contamination makes cancer a real concern for users of products that contain this ingredient.

Long-Term Risk - Industry safety reviews and regulatory notes point to contamination and data gaps for this ingredient and say use may need limits. Because harmful contaminants can be present and safety assessments note limits, repeated use could raise longer‑term health risks.

Confidence: MEDIUM

Tetrasodium Glutamate Diacetate

⚠️4/10

For newborns and babies (0-6 months) this ingredient is usually low concern in small amounts, but we are cautious because of possible contamination and limited safety data. If possible, choose products made for infants that avoid this ingredient.

Cancer - A U.S. environmental agency reported limited evidence that this ingredient can act as a mutagen. Mutagen findings raise concern because they can be linked to cancer risk with repeated or high exposure.

Organ Risk - A cosmetic safety review noted animal studies that showed changes in organ weights for mothers and their offspring at high doses. That points to possible harm to organs with repeated or large exposures.

Fertility - The same cosmetic safety review found evidence from animal studies of effects on mothers and offspring at high doses, which suggests possible developmental or reproductive effects.

Irritant - A European chemical agency found limited evidence this ingredient can irritate skin and eyes, and the ingredient file also notes possible irritation to skin, eyes or lungs. This can cause redness, stinging or discomfort on sensitive baby skin.

Absorbed - The ingredient record flags enhanced skin absorption. That means it can get through the skin and into the body more easily, raising the chance that the other risks above could reach internal organs.

Long-Term Risk - The ingredient file flags high contamination concerns (including chemicals such as nitrilotriacetic-type impurities) and also notes data gaps in safety testing. Contamination plus incomplete safety data raise concern for possible long-term health effects if exposure is repeated.

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

Caprylyl Glycol

✅2/10

For infants (newborns and babies 0–6 months), Caprylyl Glycol is usually low risk when it’s in baby lotions, wipes, or creams at low amounts. Most babies won’t have a problem, but newborn skin is more sensitive so we recommend extra caution.

No Known Risk - Government and industry safety reviews found no clear health hazards for skin use. Tests say it is not likely to build up in the body, not persistent in the environment, and not harmful to organs. Industry reviewers do note limits on how much can be used and some data gaps, but overall the ingredient is rated low concern for topical use.

Confidence: HIGH

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.

Confidence: HIGH

Stearic Acid

✅2/10

Stearic acid is a common ingredient in baby creams and wipes and is generally low risk. Reviews by government and industry experts find little evidence it causes cancer, strong allergic reactions, or harm to development. Because newborn skin is very delicate, we err on the side of caution for babies under 6 months.

Confidence: HIGH

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

Coconut Oil

✅1/10

Coconut oil is generally safe for infant skin and is used as a moisturizer but monitor for rare allergies

No Known Risk - Coconut oil is widely used topically for babies and is generally considered safe. There is no strong evidence linking it to irritation, allergies, hormone disruption, cancer, or other health risks when used on healthy baby skin. Rare allergic reactions are possible, but not common enough to warrant a risk label based on 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

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.
