Ingredients Analysis (34 found)

Isopropyl Alcohol
🚫9/10
For newborns and babies (0–6 months) this ingredient can be harsh. It can irritate baby skin and eyes, may make skin absorb other chemicals more easily, and can be harmful if breathed in or swallowed in larger amounts. Cancer and long-term reproductive worries are low, but immediate irritation and absorption risks are the main concern for infants.
Irritant - This ingredient is known to irritate skin, eyes, and lungs. It is officially labeled as an eye and general irritant under EU hazard labeling, and studies describe strong irritation from exposure.
Organ Risk - There are reports of systemic harm after exposure, including cases of intoxication and serious lung problems. Government assessments classify it as toxic or harmful and animal studies show toxic effects at moderate doses.
Absorbed - Evidence shows isopropyl alcohol can be taken up through the skin and can boost how other substances get through the skin. A clinical report and lab studies note topical absorption and a penetration-enhancing effect.
Asthma - Workplace studies link repeated breathing of alcohol vapors to industrial bronchitis and other respiratory harm. Case reports also show severe breathing problems after chronic inhalation, so it can worsen breathing conditions.
Long-Term Risk - Because of documented occupational harms and government listings that give it a medium human-health priority, repeated or long-term exposure could cause health problems over time.
Confidence: HIGH
Behentrimonium Chloride
🚫8/10
For newborns and babies (0–6 months) this ingredient is best avoided. It can irritate skin and eyes, and similar chemicals have been linked to breathing problems and allergic reactions. Because baby skin is delicate and more likely to absorb substances, we recommend extra caution.
Immune system - A specialist list of asthma-causing chemicals flags this ingredient as a human allergen, and reviews of quaternary ammonium compounds note links to immune or allergy effects. That means it can trigger allergic reactions in some people.
Asthma - An asthmagen compilation lists this chemical as a cause of respiratory allergy and there is limited evidence it can harm breathing. Kids with sensitive lungs or asthma could be affected.
Banned - This ingredient is subject to government limits: the EU cosmetics rules list restrictions and a cosmetic safety panel says it is allowed only with limits. That shows some countries regulate or limit its use.
Organ Risk - Some toxicology reviews and human-focused studies raise concern that quaternary ammonium compounds can affect organs. This ingredient has been noted as a possible human toxicant in those reports.
Fertility - Animal studies (mouse studies) found lower fertility after exposure to similar quaternary ammonium disinfectants, showing effects on male and female reproductive systems at moderate doses.
Hormones - Laboratory research found that quaternary ammonium compounds can interfere with cholesterol and hormone pathways, which suggests this ingredient may disrupt normal hormone processes.
Environmental - A government environmental review flags this class of chemicals as a suspected environmental toxin, so it may harm aquatic life or ecosystems if released widely.
Confidence: HIGH
Lactic Acid
🚨7/10
For infants (0-6 months), lactic acid can increase skin sensitivity and may be more likely to irritate or let other things through the skin. Because newborn skin is thin and still developing, it is safer to avoid products with lactic acid unless a pediatrician tells you to use one.
Banned - This ingredient is restricted in some places and must follow rules about how it is made and used. A Canadian safety list and government guidance limit its use, and industry safety panels set rules on how much can be in products.
Absorbed - This acid can help other things pass through the skin and can get into the body more easily. A safety review paper lists it as a penetration enhancer, so it may raise how much of a product is absorbed.
Sun Burn - Industry safety guidance says it can raise the skin's sensitivity to the sun unless products are made to prevent that or directions tell you to use sun protection.
Confidence: MEDIUM
Stearalkonium Chloride
🚨7/10
For infants (newborns and babies 0–6 months): this ingredient is not recommended for routine use on baby skin. It can irritate skin and in some people cause allergic skin or breathing reactions. Babies’ skin and airways are more sensitive, so we are cautious.
Immune system - Strong human evidence shows this chemical can act as an allergen and harm the immune or respiratory system (listed in an asthmagen compilation and by the Association of Occupational and Environmental Clinics, and supported in peer‑reviewed studies). That means it can cause allergic reactions in people, including children.
Asthma - This ingredient is listed as an asthmagen and a respiratory toxicant by occupational/clinical sources (AEOC compilation and AOEC) and in the scientific literature, so it can trigger or worsen breathing problems such as asthma.
Irritant - There is strong human allergen evidence from clinical and peer‑reviewed sources that this substance can cause skin reactions. On sensitive baby skin this may show up as redness, itching, or rash.
Banned - Regulatory bodies restrict or limit use of this material in cosmetics (for example under the EU Cosmetics Directive), and industry safety panels note specific use‑and‑concentration controls, meaning some countries or product types disallow or tightly limit it.
Organ Risk - Non‑reproductive organ system concerns have been flagged — government assessment and recent studies note possible toxic effects on organs after exposure to related quaternary ammonium disinfectants, so repeated or high exposures could harm organs such as the lungs or other systems.
Environmental - A government environmental agency has identified this chemical as suspected to be an environmental toxin, so it may pose risks to wildlife or ecosystems if released.
Confidence: HIGH
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
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
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
Water Aqua
⚠️5/10
Water Aqua is purified water used as a solvent and base in baby shampoos and conditioners. It is very safe and essential for formulation.
Confidence: HIGH
Alcohol
⚠️5/10
Alcohol can cause dryness and irritation on sensitive baby skin especially under 6 months. It is often used as a solvent or preservative in shampoos and conditioners.
Confidence: HIGH
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
Potassium Sorbate
⚠️4/10
For newborns and infants (0–6 months), potassium sorbate is usually low risk for causing illness systemically, but it can cause skin allergies or irritation. Babies have very delicate skin, so we are extra careful with this ingredient.
Immune system - A cosmetic safety review (Cosmetic Ingredient Review) found strong evidence that potassium sorbate can cause allergic reactions in human skin. That means some children could have immune system responses (contact allergy) if their skin touches products with this ingredient.
Irritant - A safety assessment by a cosmetic review panel lists potassium sorbate as a human skin toxicant or allergen. This supports a real risk of skin redness, itching, or rashes when used on sensitive or damaged skin.
Eczema - Because this ingredient is shown to be a skin allergen, it can trigger or make eczema and similar skin conditions worse in people who are sensitive.
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.
