Ingredients Analysis (19 found)

phenoxyethanol

🚨7/10

For infants (0–6 months): be careful. This preservative can irritate delicate baby skin and some countries limit how it’s used. It is not known to cause cancer or birth defects at normal cosmetic levels, but irritation is the main concern.

Irritant - Official hazard listings show this chemical can cause skin, eye, and lung irritation. Regulators classify it as an irritant, so it can make skin red or itchy and bother the eyes or breathing passages.

Asthma - Because it can irritate the lungs, it may make asthma or breathing problems worse. Workplace and hazard listings note lung irritation and limits on inhalation exposure.

Organ Risk - There is limited evidence that it can affect the nervous system and it is listed as toxic/harmful in official hazard codes. That means repeated or high exposures could harm organs like the nervous system.

Absorbed - Safety reviews and workplace data note systemic effects tied to how it is used, and nervous-system findings suggest the chemical can get into the body after skin or workplace exposure.

Banned - Some governments set limits on its use in cosmetics (for example, concentration limits from national health authorities), and some product standards require special proof before it can be used.

Confidence: MEDIUM

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

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

ascorbyl palmitate

⚠️4/10

For newborns and infants (0-6 months) this ingredient is not well studied in babies. While it is often used as an antioxidant in grown-up skin products, a lab study found it can cause extra cell stress in skin cells when the skin is exposed to UV light. Because baby skin is thinner and more sensitive, it's safer to be cautious.

Sun Burn - A laboratory study found that this ingredient makes UV-B damage worse in skin cells, causing more fat breakdown and cell harm. That means skin could burn or be harmed more easily in sunlight (based on the cited lab study).

Irritant - The same lab research showed cell damage in skin cells (cytotoxicity) after exposure, which can lead to redness, irritation, or rashes on sensitive skin.

Long-Term Risk - Lab evidence shows the ingredient can make extra reactive oxygen species that can disturb cell signaling and cause mutations; the report notes this could be linked to long-term problems like heart disease, so there is a possible long-term health concern (based on the cited study).

Environmental - Canada's environmental agency flagged this substance as a suspected environmental toxin, meaning it may harm wildlife or ecosystems if released.

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

ethylhexylglycerin

⚠️4/10

For newborns and infants (0–6 months): this ingredient is not among the most dangerous, but it can sometimes cause skin or eye irritation and has been linked to allergic rashes in people. Because babies have very delicate skin, we recommend being careful.

Irritant - The ingredient is classed as an irritant by EU hazard labeling and safety reviewers. Animal studies also show skin, eye and lung irritation. That means it can cause redness, stinging, sore eyes, or breathing discomfort if used on or near a child’s skin or eyes.

Immune system - Human case reports and safety reviews describe allergic contact dermatitis from this ingredient and call it a relevant sensitizer in some cosmetics. This shows it can trigger allergic reactions in sensitive children.

Eczema - Because there are human reports of allergic contact dermatitis, this ingredient can start or make eczema and similar skin rashes worse in children who are sensitive.

Asthma - Animal studies reviewed by safety assessors show respiratory irritation at moderate doses. If the ingredient is inhaled (for example from sprays), it could make breathing issues or asthma worse in susceptible children.

Organ Risk - Safety assessments and animal studies report liver effects at low doses and limited eye toxicity. These findings point to possible harm to organs with repeated or higher exposure.

Confidence: MEDIUM

hydrolyzed casein

⚠️4/10

For newborns and babies 0-6 months this ingredient is generally low risk but should be treated with caution because it is derived from milk. It is not expected to be toxic, but it can trigger an allergic skin reaction in infants who are sensitive to cow milk proteins.

No Known Risk - Government and industry safety reviews do not find clear harms. A Canadian health assessment says this ingredient is not expected to be toxic, and an environmental review says it is not suspected to be an environmental toxin. An industry safety panel notes only that safe use can depend on how the ingredient is made and used. All common health concerns (cancer, allergies, developmental harm, and use limits) were rated low, so no risks above low were identified.

Confidence: HIGH

sodium dehydroacetate

⚠️4/10

For newborns and babies under 6 months: this ingredient is a preservative with generally low concern in older people, but we have limited data for very young infants. Because baby skin is delicate, I recommend being cautious.

Hormones - A U.S. regulatory agency links this chemical to endocrine disruption. That means it can affect normal hormone development, which is important for babies and young children.

Confuse Hormones - The same regulatory review notes the chemical can act on hormone systems. This suggests it may act like or block natural hormones and confuse the body's signals.

Fertility - Peer‑reviewed animal studies show effects on development or reproduction at moderate doses, so there is a possible risk to future fertility or reproductive development.

Organ Risk - A European chemicals agency classifies it as toxic or harmful and animal studies show organ effects at some doses, so repeated or high exposures could harm organs like liver or kidneys.

Long-Term Risk - Animal studies report biochemical and cellular changes at moderate doses, which raises concern for possible long‑term health effects with repeated exposure.

Environmental - Hazard labeling and peer‑reviewed studies flag risks to wildlife and the environment, so this ingredient can be toxic to aquatic life or other wildlife in some settings.

Confidence: MEDIUM

sweet almond oil

⚠️4/10

Sweet almond oil may cause allergic reactions in infants especially those with nut allergies used as emollient but caution is needed for 0-6 months

No Known Risk - Sweet Almond Oil is widely used in baby skincare products and is generally considered safe for topical use on babies. There is no strong evidence linking it to irritation, allergies, or other health risks in the general population, except in rare cases of nut allergies. For most babies, it does not pose any known health risks based on current research.

Confidence: MEDIUM

stearyl alcohol

✅3/10

For newborns and babies (0–6 months), stearyl alcohol is a common ingredient used to make creams and lotions feel smooth. Most experts see low risk for long‑term problems, but it can cause skin or eye irritation in some people. Because babies have very delicate skin, we should be extra careful.

Confidence: MEDIUM

tocopherol

✅3/10

For newborns and babies (0–6 months): tocopherol (vitamin E) is usually low risk when used in small amounts on the skin, but baby skin is very delicate. There are some safety notes about possible contamination and a rare chance of skin allergy, so take extra care with infants and newborns.

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

✅2/10

For newborns and babies 0–6 months: this ingredient is commonly used in baby lotions and is usually low risk. Still, baby skin is thinner and soaks up things more easily than older children, so extra care is wise.

Confidence: MEDIUM

isopropyl palmitate

✅2/10

For infants (0–6 months): generally considered low risk and used to make skin feel soft and spread products easily. Because baby skin is very thin and more absorbent, use it with care.

No Known Risk - Reviews and government assessments did not find health hazards above a low level for normal topical use. Safety panels note use limits and some data gaps, but regulators have called it low priority for human health, do not expect it to build up in the body or the environment, and allow limited food uses. Taken together, current evidence does not show any health risks above low for typical use.

Confidence: MEDIUM

peg-8

✅2/10

PEG-8 is a polyethylene glycol used as a solvent or emulsifier in topical products. It is generally safe but may cause minor irritation in sensitive baby skin.

Confidence: HIGH

sodium cocoyl isethionate

✅2/10

For infants and newborns (0-6 months), this is a mild cleansing ingredient often found in baby shampoos and washes. It is low risk for long-term harm but babies have very delicate skin, so we should be careful.

No Known Risk - Reviews by a cosmetic safety review panel and a national environment agency found no significant health hazards. The ingredient is not thought to build up in the body or harm organs, and it is considered safe in products when used at the allowed levels (with different limits for rinse-off versus leave-on products). There are some notes about possible mild irritation and that safety limits are set, but overall no real health risks were identified.

Confidence: MEDIUM

ascorbic acid

✅1/10

Vitamin C is generally safe in topical baby products as an antioxidant and skin protectant with low irritation risk

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.
