Ingredients Analysis (16 found)

FRAGRANCE

🚨6/10

Perfume in baby products can cause skin irritation or allergic reactions in 1-2 year olds. It is often added for scent but should be used cautiously.

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

PARFUM

🚨6/10

Parfum is a fragrance mix that can cause skin irritation or allergies in sensitive babies especially in topical products like shampoo and bodywash

Confidence: HIGH

SODIUM LAURETH SULFATE

⚠️5/10

For toddlers (1-2 years), this ingredient is a common cleanser used in shampoos and body washes. It can irritate sensitive skin or eyes and there are possible contamination byproducts from manufacturing that are a concern, so use with care.

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

COCO-BETAINE

⚠️5/10

For toddlers (1-2 years old), this ingredient is commonly used in baby shampoos and washes to create foam and help clean. It is moderately safe in rinse-off products when manufacturers control impurities, but it can sometimes cause skin irritation or allergic reactions.

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: HIGH

WATER

⚠️5/10

Water is very safe for topical use in baby products like shampoo and bodywash. It acts as a solvent and carrier for other ingredients.

Confidence: HIGH

EAU

⚠️5/10

Eau is water in French and is safe for topical use in baby products like shampoo and bodywash. It is the main solvent and poses no risk.

Confidence: HIGH

LAURETH-2

⚠️4/10

For toddlers (1–2 years), this ingredient is generally low risk but not completely without concern. It can be useful in shampoos and washes, but it may irritate very sensitive skin or eyes and products can sometimes contain tiny amounts of unwanted impurities if not well purified.

Cancer - This ingredient can be contaminated with ethylene oxide and 1,4‑dioxane. Public health and chemical safety reviews list those contaminants as carcinogenic or probable carcinogens, so their presence raises a cancer risk if they are in a product applied to skin.

Organ Risk - The same contaminants named for this ingredient are linked by health reviewers to harm to organs (for example liver, kidneys, or lungs) after repeated or high exposure. Because contamination was flagged, there is a real organ-harm concern if those impurities are present.

Long-Term Risk - Contamination with ethylene oxide and 1,4‑dioxane is associated with health effects that appear after repeated or long-term exposure. The flagged contamination means regular use could raise long-term health risks.

Absorbed - This ingredient is used on skin and the listed contaminants can get through skin and into the body. That means contamination can lead to internal exposure, not just surface contact.

Confidence: MEDIUM

PEG-90

⚠️4/10

PEG-90 is not a recognized ingredient name it may be a misreading or typo of PEG compounds which vary in safety

Confidence: HIGH

DISODIUM EDTA

✅3/10

For toddlers (1–2 years): usually low risk when used at the small amounts found in normal skin cleansers and lotions. The main concern is skin or eye irritation, and it can make it easier for other ingredients to pass through the skin, so be careful with young children.

Confidence: HIGH

CITRIC ACID

✅2/10

For toddlers (1-2 years), citric acid in normal skin products is usually safe at the low levels used. It helps control product pH and keep products stable. The biggest concern is skin or eye irritation, not long-term disease.

Confidence: HIGH

METHYLPROPANEDIOL

✅1/10

For toddlers (1–2 years), this ingredient is generally low risk. It is used to help products feel nicer and hold moisture. There are a few reports that it can cause mild irritation and it can make skin take up other ingredients more easily.

Confidence: MEDIUM

SODIUM CHLORIDE

✅1/10

Sodium chloride is ordinary salt. For toddlers (1–2 years) it is generally safe in the tiny amounts used in skin products. It is a low-risk ingredient and is not thought to cause long-term harm.

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

SODIUM CITRATE

✅1/10

For toddlers (1–2 years), sodium citrate in small amounts in wipes or lotions is generally safe. It is low risk for serious harm but can sometimes cause mild irritation, especially on broken or very sensitive skin.

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

GLYCERYL ISOSTEARATE

✅1/10

Glyceryl Isostearate is an emollient and skin conditioning agent considered safe for baby skin in topical products

No Known Risk - Glyceryl Isostearate is widely used in topical products and current research and safety assessments do not indicate any significant health risks for babies. It is generally considered safe, with no evidence linking it to irritation, hormone disruption, cancer, or other listed risks when used as directed.

Confidence: HIGH

PENTYLENE GLYCOL

✅1/10

For toddlers (1-2 years) pentylene glycol is generally low risk. It’s commonly used in baby wipes and lotions to keep skin soft and to help preserve the product. Most children will not have a problem, but a small number can get redness or a rash.

Confidence: HIGH

AQUA

✅0/10

Water is very safe for toddlers (1-2 years old) to have on their skin. It is the main base in wipes and baby lotions and is not considered harmful when used as intended.

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.
