Ingredients Analysis (21 found)

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
RED 33 CI 17200
🚨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
TEA-DODECYLBENZENESULFONATE
🚨7/10
For infants (0–6 months) this ingredient is best avoided when possible. It is a soap-like ingredient used to help products foam and clean, and while long-term harms look low in available assessments, safety limits and data gaps have been noted by regulators and industry reviewers.
Banned - This ingredient is restricted from some cosmetic uses under EU cosmetics rules. An industry safety review also flags limits on how much can be used and notes data gaps, so regulators and reviewers limit or forbid its use in certain products.
Confidence: MEDIUM
YELLOW 5 CI 19140
🚨7/10
FD&C Yellow No 5 is a synthetic dye not recommended for infant skin due to allergy risk and immature skin barrier likely used for color
Asthma - Yellow 5 has been linked to exacerbating asthma symptoms in sensitive individuals, particularly children, according to clinical reports and regulatory warnings.
Irritant - Yellow 5 can cause skin irritation, especially when used topically on sensitive baby skin, leading to redness or rashes.
Eczema - There is evidence that Yellow 5 can trigger or worsen eczema and similar skin conditions in susceptible children.
Confidence: HIGH
COCAMIDOPROPYL BETAINE
🚨6/10
For infants (0–6 months) this cleansing ingredient is commonly used in washes and wipes but should be used with care. It can sometimes irritate or cause allergic reactions, and some batches can carry trace contaminants. Babies’ skin is more delicate, so caution is advised.
Immune system - Cosmetic safety reviews (Cosmetic Ingredient Review and draft safety reports) report limited evidence that cocamidopropyl betaine can sensitize skin or trigger allergic reactions. That means it can affect the immune system in some people, especially those with sensitive skin.
Irritant - Industry safety assessments note limited evidence of skin sensitization and explicitly warn the ingredient may be unsafe in products left on the skin (not rinsed off). This shows it can cause redness, itching, or irritation for some users.
Eczema - Safety panels and reports observed cases of sensitization and recommend limits on use and product types. Because it can provoke skin reactions, it may trigger or worsen eczema in sensitive children.
Cancer - Regulatory and industry reviews flag contamination concerns for this ingredient, including nitrosamines and related amines. Nitrosamines are known to be carcinogenic, so impurity risks raise a cancer concern unless impurities are controlled as industry reviewers recommend.
Banned - Expert panels and tentative regulatory reports recommend use, concentration, and manufacturing restrictions for this ingredient and note it is unsafe in some product types (leave-on). While not universally banned, it is subject to regulatory or industry limits in some contexts.
Environmental - A national environmental agency (Environment Canada) flagged this ingredient as a suspected environmental toxin, indicating possible harm to ecosystems if released into the environment.
Confidence: MEDIUM
PEG-150 DISTEARATE
🚨6/10
For newborns and infants (0-6 months) this ingredient is something to be careful with. On its own it is not flagged as highly dangerous, but there are worries about possible contaminants and there isn’t much safety testing specifically in babies.
Cancer - Safety reviews flag high contamination concerns for this ingredient. Small impurity molecules named in the ingredient record (ethylene oxide and 1,4‑dioxane) are specifically listed as contaminants of concern by industry and regulatory safety reviews. Those contaminants are linked to cancer risk, so cancer is a real risk to note.
Long-Term Risk - The ingredient record shows a high contamination concern and also notes gaps in the safety assessment used by industry reviewers. Because the worry is about persistent impurities that can cause harm over time, there is a meaningful long‑term health risk if contaminated product is used repeatedly.
Banned - Industry and regulatory safety guidance place limits or restrictions on use of this ingredient and some product‑verification programs will not allow it without proof of safety. Those restrictions mean the ingredient is subject to heavy controls in certain programs and uses.
Confidence: MEDIUM
SODIUM LAURETH SULFATE
🚨6/10
For newborns and babies (0–6 months): this ingredient can irritate delicate skin and eyes and may carry small amounts of manufacturing impurities. It’s not the best choice for very young infants.
Irritant - A formal safety review (Cosmetic Ingredient Review) found strong evidence that this ingredient can irritate skin, eyes, and lungs in people. That means babies or children may get redness, stinging, or sore eyes if exposed.
Organ Risk - A government health assessment (Environment Canada) classifies this ingredient as likely to be harmful to body organs with a medium human-health priority. Repeated or heavy exposure could affect organs like the liver or kidneys.
Cancer - Safety checks flag the ingredient for contamination by ethylene oxide and 1,4‑dioxane. These contaminants are known cancer-linked chemicals in regulatory and safety assessments, so contamination raises a cancer concern if present.
Confidence: MEDIUM
FRAGRANCE PARFUM
🚨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
DISODIUM EDTA
⚠️5/10
For newborns and infants (0-6 months): this ingredient is often used in tiny amounts to keep products stable. It is not linked to cancer or reproductive problems at normal low levels, but it can irritate skin and eyes and may help other ingredients get through the skin more easily. Because baby skin is very thin, use extra caution.
Irritant - This ingredient is marked as an irritant for skin, eyes, or lungs under EU GHS hazard labeling. The data calls out a high irritation concern, so it can cause redness, stinging, or breathing irritation—especially on sensitive baby skin.
Absorbed - An industry safety review (Cosmetic Ingredient Review, CIR) lists this chemical as a penetration enhancer. That means it can help other things get through the skin and can itself be absorbed into the body.
Organ Risk - Environment Canada has flagged non-reproductive organ-system toxicity for this substance, including notes that it can be harmful and is a medium human-health priority. That suggests repeated or high exposures could affect organs like the liver or kidneys.
Long-Term Risk - Because the ingredient can enhance skin absorption and has non-reproductive organ toxicity listings, repeated use raises concern for longer-term health effects. Industry reviews also note data gaps and concentration limits, meaning long-term safety depends on how much and how often it is used (Cosmetic Ingredient Review).
Confidence: MEDIUM
WATER AQUA
⚠️5/10
Water Aqua is purified water used as a solvent in baby shampoos and bodywash. It is very safe and essential for formulation.
Confidence: HIGH
PPG-9
⚠️4/10
For infants (newborns and babies 0–6 months), PPG-9 is usually considered low risk in adults, but baby skin is thin and more sensitive. That means there is a higher chance of irritation or more absorption. I recommend being careful.
Organ Risk - A Canadian health agency reviewed this ingredient and said it is “expected to be toxic or harmful” to non-reproductive organs and gave it a medium human-health priority. That means this ingredient could harm organs (for example liver or kidneys) with repeated or enough exposure.
Long-Term Risk - The same government review rated the ingredient as a medium human-health priority and flagged it as harmful, which suggests possible long-term health effects after repeated or chronic use.
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
CARBOMER
✅3/10
For infants (0-6 months): Carbomer is a common ingredient used to thicken creams and wipes. By itself it is not known to be dangerous and does not easily get into the body, but babies have very delicate skin so we treat it cautiously.
Confidence: MEDIUM
DIMETHICONOL
✅3/10
For newborns and young babies (0-6 months), dimethiconol is generally considered low risk when used on the skin. It is a type of silicone that often helps soften and protect skin. Because very young babies have more-sensitive skin and absorb more through their skin, we are a little more cautious than for older children.
No Known Risk - Reviews by a cosmetic industry safety panel (CIR) and a European chemicals regulator (ECHA) find only low-level concerns for cancer, allergies, and reproductive effects for normal skin use. The industry reviewers note some data gaps about exact use concentrations, and the European regulator reports limited evidence of environmental toxicity. Because no health concern was rated above “low” for topical use, no specific child health risk labels apply.
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
COCAMIDOPROPYL HYDROXYSULTAINE
✅3/10
For newborns and babies (0–6 months): this ingredient is generally considered low risk, but there are important manufacturing impurity concerns and a small chance of mild skin or eye irritation. Because babies have very delicate skin, take extra care.
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
POLYQUATERNIUM-10
✅2/10
For newborns and babies (0-6 months): Polyquaternium-10 is usually considered low risk in rinse-off baby products like shampoos, but there is limited information specifically for very young infants. Because babies’ skin is more delicate, we stay cautious.
Confidence: MEDIUM
SODIUM CITRATE
✅2/10
For infants and newborns (0–6 months) sodium citrate is likely safe when used in small amounts. It’s used to keep products at the right acidity and to help them stay stable. Most safety data show very low concern for long-term health risks, but baby skin can be extra sensitive.
No Known Risk - Reviewed safety information shows only low-level concerns. U.S. food regulators say it is allowed for some food uses, a cosmetic safety panel notes allowed limits and some data gaps but does not show hazards at normal use, and a national environment agency finds it unlikely to harm organs, build up in the body, or persist in the environment. Because no health concern was reported above low, there are no specific risks identified for typical topical use.
Confidence: HIGH
SODIUM CHLORIDE
✅1/10
For infants and newborns (0-6 months) this ingredient is generally safe when used in the small amounts found in baby wipes, creams, and saline drops. It is the same simple salt used in food and is not considered toxic in these low amounts.
No Known Risk - Regulatory reviews flag no meaningful health hazards for topical use. Food and health authorities list it as safe for limited use, and environmental assessments find it unlikely to harm organs, build up in the body, or damage wildlife. Overall expert sources rate concerns as low across cancer, allergies, development, and use restrictions.
Confidence: HIGH
GUAR HYDROXYPROPYLTRIMONIUM CHLORIDE
✅1/10
For infants (0-6 months), this ingredient is generally low risk when used in small amounts, especially in rinse-off products like baby shampoo. It can cause mild irritation in some people, so we recommend being cautious with newborns and babies.
