Ingredients Analysis (9 found)

propylparaben
🚫10/10
For infants and newborns (0-6 months): Not recommended. Propylparaben can act like a hormone in some tests and has been limited by safety reviewers for use in children’s products. Babies absorb more through their skin, so it’s safest to avoid it.
Confuse Hormones - Lab and wildlife studies show propylparaben can act like weak estrogen, and major regulators have flagged it as an endocrine disruptor. That means it can mimic hormones and confuse normal body signals in children.
Hormones - Because regulators and multiple studies identify propylparaben as an endocrine disruptor, it may interfere with natural hormone development in babies and young children.
Fertility - Animal studies found effects on the male reproductive system at low doses, and a European chemicals agency lists possible reproductive or developmental harm. This means it may affect future fertility or reproductive development.
Irritant - Human reports and safety reviews show propylparaben can cause contact reactions like hives or skin irritation. That makes it a real risk for redness, itching, or rashes on sensitive baby skin.
Eczema - There is documented evidence of contact urticaria and allergic skin reactions linked to propylparaben, so it can trigger or worsen eczema in children who are sensitive.
Immune system - Reviews and human case reports give moderate evidence that propylparaben can act as an immune toxicant or allergen, meaning it can trigger immune reactions in some people.
Banned - Some countries and expert panels restrict or limit cosmetic use of propylparaben (for example, specific bans or limits for products for very young children and concentration limits set by safety committees).
Environmental - Studies in fish and other tests show propylparaben can affect wildlife and the environment, and regulatory reviews have noted possible environmental disruption.
Confidence: HIGH
methylparaben
🚨7/10
For newborns and infants (0–6 months) methylparaben is a preservative that has some evidence of hormone-like effects and can cause skin allergy in some people. Because baby skin is thin and more absorbent, it’s safer to avoid products containing methylparaben when possible.
Hormones - Methylparaben has been found to affect the hormone system. The European Union lists it as a human endocrine disruptor and multiple studies show hormone-like activity, so it may alter normal hormone development in children.
Confuse Hormones - Research and regulatory review note that methylparaben can act like weak hormones in the body. Peer-reviewed studies and regulatory findings show it can mimic or interfere with natural hormone signals.
Immune system - There is moderate evidence that methylparaben can trigger immune or allergic reactions in people. A clinical report found contact urticaria (an allergic skin response), showing it can affect the immune system.
Irritant - Methylparaben has been linked to skin reactions such as contact urticaria. That means it can cause redness, itching, or rashes on sensitive skin, including babies' skin.
Eczema - Because methylparaben can cause allergic skin reactions and contact urticaria, it may trigger or worsen eczema and similar skin conditions in susceptible children.
Banned - Some authorities restrict or limit the use of parabens in certain products. For example, regional regulatory actions and safety opinions have led to limits or bans for use in products for very young children.
Long-Term Risk - Laboratory studies show methylparaben can change gene activity in human cells. Those biochemical changes suggest possible long-term effects with repeated exposure, even if direct outcomes in people are still being studied.
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
vitamin A palmitate
⚠️5/10
Vitamin A Palmitate is a retinoid and may cause skin irritation or absorption risks in infants likely used as an antioxidant
Absorbed - Vitamin A Palmitate can be absorbed through the skin, especially if applied to broken or sensitive skin, and may enter the bloodstream.
Organ Risk - Excessive topical or oral vitamin A exposure has been linked to toxicity, which can affect the liver and other organs, though this is more likely with high doses or chronic use.
Long-Term Risk - Chronic excessive exposure to vitamin A (including palmitate form) can lead to toxicity and long-term health effects, especially in infants and young children.
Confidence: HIGH
Petrolatum
⚠️4/10
Mineral oil is a common baby moisturizer and can protect skin, but for newborns and babies 0–6 months there are some reasons to be careful. Studies and regulatory reviews have noted possible buildup of some mineral-oil components in body tissues and some people can have allergic or breathing reactions.
Banned - In the EU, this ingredient is restricted unless it is very pure, because it can carry PAH leftovers from oil. This rule comes from the EU Cosmetics Directive.
Organ Risk - Canada’s environmental health agency lists it as expected to be harmful and a high health priority. With repeat use, it may stress organs like the liver.
Builds Up - Studies in people (2015) and in lab rats (2017) found mineral oil parts can collect in body tissues over time. Small daily amounts can add up.
Long-Term Risk - Because it can build up in the body and may carry PAH impurities, risks can grow with years of use. Purity limits in the EU were set to lower this risk.
Confidence: MEDIUM
vitamin D
⚠️4/10
For infants (0–6 months) I recommend being cautious. Small amounts of vitamin D in everyday skincare products are unlikely to be harmful, but some countries limit its use in cosmetics, and babies’ skin can absorb more than older children’s skin.
Banned - This ingredient has official limits or bans for use in cosmetics: Health Canada restricts its use in Canadian cosmetics, and EU cosmetics rules list it as banned or unsafe for use in personal care products. Those government actions mean it may not be allowed or is tightly limited in topical products.
Confidence: MEDIUM
lanolin
✅3/10
Lanolin is generally safe as a moisturizer but may cause allergic reactions in sensitive infants especially under 6 months
Confidence: HIGH
corn starch
✅2/10
Zea Mays Starch is corn starch used as an absorbent in baby products generally safe but rare allergy risk in infants
No Known Risk - Corn starch is widely used in baby powders and topical products, and current research does not show any significant health risks when used on intact skin. It is generally considered safe for topical use on babies, with no evidence linking it to irritation, hormone disruption, cancer, or other long-term health effects. However, care should be taken to avoid inhalation of powders, but for topical use, there are no known risks.
Confidence: HIGH
mineral oil
✅1/10
Mineral oil is widely used in baby products as a skin protectant and moisturizer and is considered very safe for topical use in infants
Confidence: HIGH
