Ingredients Analysis (21 found)

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
Sea Buckthorn Fruit Oil
⚠️5/10
Sea buckthorn oil may cause irritation or allergic reactions in infants under 6 months and lacks sufficient safety data for this age group
Irritant - Sea Buckthorn Oil may cause mild skin irritation or redness in sensitive individuals, including babies, especially if used undiluted or on compromised skin.
Confidence: MEDIUM
Phytic Acid
⚠️4/10
For infants (newborns and babies 0–6 months): phytic acid is generally low risk for most people, but baby skin is very delicate and can be more easily irritated or absorb ingredients. Because of that, it’s safer to avoid phytic acid in products you put on a baby’s skin whenever possible.
Hormones - A safety review found studies where this ingredient changed hormone activity at low doses. This means it may affect natural hormone development in babies or children (source: Cosmetic Ingredient Review).
Organ Risk - A European chemical agency classified it as potentially harmful to organs with repeated exposure, though another regulator gave a more benign view. Because one major regulator flagged organ toxicity, there is a real risk to organs like the liver or kidneys if exposure is high or repeated (source: European Chemicals Agency).
Absorbed - A cosmetic safety review notes this ingredient can be absorbed through the skin. That means what is put on the skin can get into the body, so other risks (like hormone or organ effects) are more relevant (source: Cosmetic Ingredient Review).
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
Glyceryl Caprylate
✅3/10
For infants (0–6 months): this ingredient is usually low risk in adults, but because newborn skin soaks up products more easily and there are notes from safety reviewers about possible hormone effects and increased absorption, it’s safer to be cautious with babies.
Confidence: MEDIUM
Meadowsweet Flower Extract
✅3/10
Safety information not properly formatted for easy understanding
No Known Risk - Available safety summaries for the topical ingredient show only low-level concerns for cancer, allergies/immunity, and developmental or reproductive effects, with no higher hazards, bans, or use restrictions identified. Because no concern is rated above low, there are no specific health risks to flag based on the current data.
Confidence: MEDIUM
Vitamin E
✅3/10
For newborns and babies 0-6 months: small amounts of topical vitamin E in baby products are usually low risk, but because baby skin is delicate and there are reports of contamination and rare reactions, we recommend being careful.
Confidence: MEDIUM
Calendula 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
Chamomile Flower 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
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
Cetyl Alcohol
✅2/10
For newborns and infants (0–6 months): cetyl alcohol is usually safe when used in small amounts in baby products. It helps creams feel smooth and rarely causes reactions, but baby skin is extra sensitive and some experts want more safety data.
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
Glyceryl Stearate SE
✅2/10
For newborns and babies (0–6 months), this ingredient is generally considered low risk and is commonly used in baby creams. But babies’ skin is very thin, so we are careful.
Confidence: MEDIUM
Jojoba Seed Oil
✅2/10
Simmondsia Chinensis Seed Oil is jojoba oil used as a moisturizer generally safe but rare allergies possible in infants under 6 months
No Known Risk - Jojoba oil is widely regarded as safe for topical use on babies and is not linked to irritation, hormone disruption, cancer, or other health risks based on current research. It is non-allergenic, non-comedogenic, and does not contain known harmful chemicals. No credible studies have shown significant adverse effects in infants or children when used as directed.
Confidence: MEDIUM
Oat Kernel Flour
✅2/10
For newborns and babies 0-6 months, oat kernel flour used on the skin is usually safe and can help soothe dry or irritated skin. The chance of harmful effects is low, but a small number of babies can have an allergic reaction.
No Known Risk - Government safety reviewers found this oat kernel flour is not expected to harm organs or the environment, and an industry safety panel judged it safe for use in cosmetics when impurity and concentration limits are followed. Allergies and immune effects were noted as not well studied but were rated low in concern. Overall, no health risks above low were identified.
Confidence: HIGH
Watercress Flower/Leaf Extract
✅2/10
Watercress Flower Leaf Extract is a botanical ingredient with antioxidant properties commonly used in skincare. Generally safe but limited data for 0-6 month babies so minor caution advised.
No Known Risk - There is no evidence in current research that topical watercress flower leaf extract poses health risks to babies. It is generally considered safe and is not linked to irritation, hormone disruption, or other listed risks.
Confidence: MEDIUM

✅1/10
Butyrospermum Parkii Shea Butter is a natural fat used as an emollient in baby products. It is very safe and commonly used in baby lotions and wipes for 0-6 months babies.
No Known Risk - Shea butter 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, hormone disruption, or other health risks in babies.

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
Xanthan Gum
✅1/10
For babies 0–6 months (newborns and infants): xanthan gum is generally very safe when used in skincare like wipes or lotions. It’s a thickener that usually sits on the skin and rarely causes problems.
No Known Risk - Safety reviews and regulatory assessments find no health hazards above a low level for topical use. It is approved for limited use in food, classified as not expected to be toxic and a low human-health priority, and not suspected to be an environmental toxin. Cosmetic industry reviewers note only guidance on concentrations or purity. Because no concern was rated above low, no specific risks were identified for babies or children.
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.
