Ingredients Analysis (22 found)

white grapefruit peel oil
🚫8/10
Citrus Paradisi Peel Oil is grapefruit peel oil which can cause skin irritation and sensitization in infants under 6 months
Irritant - Grapefruit peel oil contains limonene and other citrus compounds that can cause skin irritation, especially on sensitive baby skin.
Sun Burn - Grapefruit peel oil contains furanocoumarins, which can increase photosensitivity and the risk of sunburn when applied topically.
Confidence: HIGH
sweet orange oil
🚨7/10
For newborns and infants (0–6 months) this oil is best avoided. It often causes skin irritation or allergic reactions and can make skin more sensitive to sunlight.
Immune system - This oil has strong evidence of causing allergies and immune reactions. Government and chemical agencies list it as a human allergen or possible immune toxicant, so it can trigger allergic skin or breathing reactions.
Irritant - There is moderate evidence that the oil can irritate skin, eyes, or lungs. Chemical safety groups and the fragrance industry note it can cause redness, stinging, or irritation when used on skin or around the face.
Asthma - Because it can irritate the lungs, the oil may make breathing problems or asthma worse. Regulators and industry reports list lung or respiratory irritation as a concern.
Sun Burn - The oil is linked to phototoxicity concerns and is recommended for use limits because it can make skin more sensitive to sunlight and raise the risk of faster sunburn. Fragrance-industry guidance and cosmetic rules note this phototoxic risk.
Banned - Some safety rules limit or restrict this ingredient in cosmetic products and require special labeling for allergens or phototoxic use. Regional cosmetic regulations and industry standards set limits or restrictions on its use.
Builds Up - There are mixed findings, but some authorities and peer-reviewed work list the oil as persistent and bioaccumulative in wildlife, meaning it can build up in the environment over time.
Environmental - Environmental agencies and chemical regulators flag this oil as a possible toxin to wildlife and the environment. Studies and agency listings raise concerns about harm to aquatic life and ecosystems.
Organ Risk - Some regulatory assessments classify the oil as likely to be toxic or harmful to non-reproductive organs in repeated exposures. National and regional chemical agencies have listed non-reproductive organ toxicity concerns.
Confidence: HIGH
apricot kernel oil
⚠️5/10
Prunus Armeniaca Kernel Oil is apricot kernel oil used as an emollient but may pose allergy risk and rare cyanogenic compounds concern for infants under 6 months
No Known Risk - Apricot kernel oil is generally considered safe for topical use on baby skin, with no strong evidence linking it to irritation, allergies, hormone disruption, or other health risks when used as directed. It is widely used in baby care products and is not banned or restricted in major countries.
Confidence: MEDIUM
pomegranate extract
⚠️5/10
Punica granatum extract is a plant extract with limited safety data for infants under 6 months and may cause irritation or allergy
No Known Risk - Pomegranate extract is generally considered safe for topical use, with no strong evidence linking it to irritation, hormone disruption, cancer, or other health risks in babies. There are no major reports of adverse effects or regulatory warnings for this ingredient in baby products.
Confidence: MEDIUM
benzoic acid
⚠️4/10
For newborns and babies 0–6 months: benzoic acid is a preservative with low concerns in broad safety reviews, but expert panels limit how it can be used in products. Babies’ skin is delicate, so we should be cautious.
Banned - Some regulators limit how benzoic acid can be used in cosmetics. A national health agency in Japan sets concentration limits for its use, and a cosmetic safety review group says it can only be used under specific concentration or product-type rules. Because of these legal and industry limits, products may be restricted or not allowed unless makers follow those rules.
Confidence: MEDIUM
phytic acid
⚠️4/10
For infants (newborns and babies 0–6 months): phytic acid is generally low risk for most people, but baby skin is very delicate and can be more easily irritated or absorb ingredients. Because of that, it’s safer to avoid phytic acid in products you put on a baby’s skin whenever possible.
Hormones - A safety review found studies where this ingredient changed hormone activity at low doses. This means it may affect natural hormone development in babies or children (source: Cosmetic Ingredient Review).
Organ Risk - A European chemical agency classified it as potentially harmful to organs with repeated exposure, though another regulator gave a more benign view. Because one major regulator flagged organ toxicity, there is a real risk to organs like the liver or kidneys if exposure is high or repeated (source: European Chemicals Agency).
Absorbed - A cosmetic safety review notes this ingredient can be absorbed through the skin. That means what is put on the skin can get into the body, so other risks (like hormone or organ effects) are more relevant (source: Cosmetic Ingredient Review).
Confidence: MEDIUM
propanediol
⚠️4/10
For newborns and babies (0-6 months) propanediol is not usually thought to be highly toxic, but it can make skin absorb other things more and has been linked to skin irritation in some studies. Because babies’ skin is very delicate, I recommend being cautious.
Irritant - Propanediol has been linked to skin, eye, or lung irritation. It is listed as a skin irritant by the U.S. National Library of Medicine, and both the European chemical regulator and a cosmetics safety review report limited evidence of irritation. This means it can cause redness, itching or rashes—especially on sensitive baby skin.
Absorbed - Propanediol is noted as a penetration enhancer by the Cosmetic Ingredient Review. That means it can help itself or other ingredients move through the skin and into the body, increasing the chance of absorption into the bloodstream.
Confidence: MEDIUM
Aloe barbadensis leaf juice
✅3/10
For newborns and infants (0–6 months): aloe vera leaf juice is usually low risk in small amounts, but babies this young have very sensitive skin. It may cause irritation in some infants and industry safety reviews recommend using it only within set limits.
Confidence: MEDIUM
avocado oil
✅3/10
Persea Gratissima Oil is avocado oil used as an emollient minor risk of allergy but generally safe for baby skin in low concentrations
No Known Risk - Avocado oil is generally considered safe for topical use on babies. There is no strong evidence linking it to irritation, allergies, hormone disruption, or other health risks in infants. It is not banned or restricted, and is not associated with long-term or systemic health effects. As with any oil, rare allergic reactions are possible, but these are not common or specific to avocado oil.
Confidence: MEDIUM
microcrystalline cellulose
✅3/10
For infants (0–6 months) this ingredient is generally low risk. It is an inactive, plant-based powder used to thicken or bind creams and lotions and usually sits on the surface of the skin rather than being absorbed. Still, some people can have allergic reactions, so treat newborns and babies with extra caution.
Confidence: MEDIUM
sorbitan olivate
✅3/10
For infants (0–6 months): Sorbitan Olivate is an oil-based emulsifier with a low overall hazard rating. When used in small amounts inside products made for babies, it is likely okay, but newborn skin is delicate so extra caution is sensible.
No Known Risk - Reviewed safety information shows only low-level concerns for cancer, allergies/immune effects, and reproductive or developmental effects. An industry safety panel (Cosmetic Ingredient Review) notes data gaps and recommends limits on concentration or product types, but did not identify higher-level hazards for normal topical use. Based on that, there are no known health risks above low at typical use.
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
cetearyl olivate
✅2/10
For newborns and babies 0–6 months, cetearyl olivate (an olive‑derived skin conditioner) is generally low risk when it’s in products made for infants and used on normal, unbroken skin. There is a small chance it could irritate very sensitive skin.
No Known Risk - Safety reviews by cosmetic experts find this ingredient safe for skin use. No moderate or high health concerns were identified for children. There are only small notes about possible mild irritation for some people and standard limits on how it is used, but these are low-level and not seen as a real health risk.
Confidence: MEDIUM
cucumber fruit extract
✅2/10
For infants (0–6 months), cucumber fruit extract is generally considered low risk when used on the skin. But there isn’t a lot of research specifically in newborns, and their skin is very sensitive, so we should be careful.
No Known Risk - Available safety information shows no health concerns above a low level. An industry safety review notes only use or manufacturing limits (such as concentration or impurity guidance), while endpoints like cancer, allergy/immunity, and reproductive effects were all rated low. Because no concern was flagged above low, there are no specific risks identified for typical topical use.
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
safflower seed oil
✅2/10
Safflower seed oil is generally safe as an emollient in baby products but rare allergies are possible in infants under 6 months
No Known Risk - Safflower seed oil is widely used in baby skincare products and is considered safe for topical use. There is no strong evidence linking it to irritation, allergies, or other health risks in babies. It is generally well-tolerated, even on sensitive skin, and is not associated with any of the listed risk categories.
Confidence: HIGH
sclerotium gum
✅2/10
Sclerotium gum is a gentle, plant-like thickener used in lotions and wipes. On its own it has a very low risk, but babies under 6 months have more sensitive skin, so we should be cautious.
No Known Risk - Available safety information shows only low concerns for cancer, allergies/immune effects, developmental or reproductive effects, and use restrictions. An expert cosmetic safety review notes recommended limits and impurity controls, and some verified-product programs require manufacturers to provide safety substantiation before using this ingredient. Taken together, current data do not identify any risks above low, so no specific health hazards are indicated.
Confidence: MEDIUM
shea butter
✅2/10
Shea butter is generally safe as a moisturizer but rare allergies are possible in infants under 6 months
No Known Risk - Shea butter is widely used in baby skincare products and is generally considered safe for topical use. There is no strong evidence linking it to irritation, allergies, hormone disruption, or other health risks in babies. Rare allergic reactions may occur, but these are uncommon and not specific to infants. Current research and regulatory guidance do not identify any significant risks for babies when shea butter is used topically.
Confidence: HIGH
sorbitan caprylate
✅2/10
For newborns and babies (0–6 months): this ingredient helps creams and lotions mix together and is generally considered low risk. But there is limited testing specifically in infants, so we should be careful with babies’ very delicate skin.
No Known Risk - For topical use, safety reviews found only low-level concerns for cancer, allergies, and reproductive effects. Industry safety assessments note some data gaps about exact use concentrations and recommend limits in products, but they did not identify any health hazards at typical use. Based on the available safety reviews, no specific risks have been found for normal skin use.
Confidence: MEDIUM
algin
✅1/10
For infants (0-6 months): Alginic acid is a thickener made from seaweed and is generally low risk for babies when used on normal, unbroken skin. It is often used to give creams and gels a smooth feel.
No Known Risk - Public safety reviews find no real health worries for topical use. A national food-safety authority lists it as safe for limited food use, a government environment agency says it is not expected to harm organs or the environment, and an industry safety review notes only routine limits on how it is used. Because these official reviews do not flag any serious concerns, there are no known risks for children from normal topical use.
Confidence: HIGH
melon fruit extract
✅1/10
For newborns and babies (0–6 months), melon fruit extract is low risk and not known to cause serious harm. Because infants have very delicate skin, it’s safest to prefer plain, baby-specific products and only use items with this extract if needed.
No Known Risk - Available safety reviews for this topical melon fruit extract show only low concern for cancer, allergies/immune effects, reproductive or developmental effects, and no use restrictions. No specific studies or regulatory actions flag higher risks for skin use, so there are no identified health risks for children from typical topical use.
Confidence: MEDIUM
aqua
✅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.
