Ingredients Analysis (10 found)

Polyethylene
⚠️4/10
For newborns and infants (0-6 months) polyethylene is usually low-risk for long-term illness, but it can irritate sensitive baby skin, eyes, or breathing. Reviews also note limited safety data and assume the ingredient is not absorbed much into the body.
Irritant - People have shown skin, eye, or lung irritation from polyethylene. A cosmetic industry safety review reports strong human evidence that it can irritate, and product safety notes list moderate irritation for skin, eyes, or lungs. For babies with very sensitive skin this could cause redness, itching, or rashes.
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
Tocopheryl acetate
⚠️4/10
Usually fine in tiny amounts on a newborn’s healthy skin, but infants are extra sensitive. Some babies can react, and there are concerns about tiny impurities in some sources.
Irritant - A cosmetic safety review panel (Cosmetic Ingredient Review) found strong human evidence that this can trigger skin allergy. That means it may cause redness, itch, or rash, especially on sensitive baby skin.
Immune system - Moderate concern for allergy and immune reactions on skin was flagged by a cosmetic safety panel (Cosmetic Ingredient Review). Some kids may have an immune response like hives or swelling.
Absorbed - Tests note enhanced skin absorption for this form of vitamin E. This means a small amount can pass through the skin and enter the body after use.
Long-Term Risk - There is a high concern for a trace impurity (hydroquinone). European health regulators and other agencies restrict that impurity because of safety worries with long-term use.
Environmental - Environment Canada lists it as a suspected environmental toxin, though data are limited. It may harm water life if it builds up in waterways.
Confidence: MEDIUM
Cocamidopropyl pg-dimonium chloride phosphate
⚠️4/10
Cannot understand what this ingredient is it might be a misreading or a typo no clear safety data available
Confidence: HIGH
Polypropylene
✅3/10
For newborns and babies (0–6 months), polypropylene used in wipes or as a fabric is usually low risk on the skin because it doesn’t easily get into the body. But some reports show it can sometimes cause allergic or respiratory reactions in sensitive people, and some government reviews raise caution about organ-level effects in certain situations.
Confidence: MEDIUM
Aloe barbadensis leaf extract
✅3/10
For newborns and infants (0–6 months) this ingredient is usually low risk and is often used to soothe skin. However, baby skin is delicate, and there are some gaps in safety data and a small chance of irritation or allergy.
Confidence: MEDIUM
Quillaja saponaria wood extract
✅3/10
For newborns and babies under 6 months this ingredient is generally considered low risk. It is a natural foaming extract and does not show serious safety warnings in public safety listings. However, baby skin is very sensitive, so reactions are possible.
No Known Risk - Available safety reviews for topical use show only low-level concerns across cancer, allergies/immune effects, developmental and reproductive harm, and use restrictions. No moderate or high risks were identified in the data for this ingredient, so it is not flagged as a specific health risk for children based on the information provided.
Confidence: MEDIUM
Sodium benzoate
✅3/10
For newborns and babies 0–6 months: sodium benzoate is a preservative that is generally considered low risk at the small amounts used in skin products, but infant skin is delicate so we take extra care.
Confidence: MEDIUM
Wood pulp
✅1/10
Wood pulp is a natural fiber used for absorbency and softness. For babies and newborns (0-6 months) it is generally very safe to touch to normal skin.
No Known Risk - A government health review (Environment Canada) finds wood pulp is not expected to be toxic, ranks it a low human-health priority, and does not suspect it to be an environmental toxin. Common concern categories (cancer, allergies/immune, and developmental or reproductive effects) are all rated low for topical use, so no meaningful risks were identified.
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.
Confidence: HIGH
