Ingredients Analysis (7 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
Cornstarch
✅1/10
Pure Cornstarch is very safe for topical use in babies 1-2 years old. It is commonly used as a gentle absorbent in baby powders and wipes.
No Known Risk - Cornstarch is widely used in baby powders and topical products, and current research does not show immediate health concerns for topical use on intact skin. While there is some caution for use on broken skin or in cases of inhalation, for topical use on healthy baby skin, there are no established risks based on available evidence.
Confidence: HIGH
Zinc Oxide
✅1/10
Zinc oxide is safe for topical use on 1 to 2 year olds. It works by forming a protective barrier and acting as a physical sunscreen. Most babies tolerate it well.
Confidence: HIGH
aloe vera
✅1/10
Organic Aloe Vera is commonly used for soothing skin and is generally safe for 1-2 year babies in topical products
Confidence: HIGH
chamomile
✅1/10
Matricaria Chamomilla is chamomile commonly used for soothing skin low risk of irritation in babies likely included for calming properties
Confidence: HIGH
kaolin
✅1/10
Kaolin (a gentle clay) is generally safe for toddlers (1-2 years). It’s commonly used in wipes, creams, and powders to soak up moisture and calm the skin and is not known to cause cancer or long-term harm.
No Known Risk - Government safety reviews find kaolin is not expected to be harmful to organs, is a low human-health priority, does not build up in the body, and is not considered an environmental toxin. Some product verification programs do require extra proof before allowing it, but current safety assessments do not identify real health risks for children from topical use.
Confidence: HIGH
tricalcium phosphate
✅1/10
For toddlers (1-2 years old), tricalcium phosphate used on the skin is generally low risk. It’s not known to cause long-term health problems, but it can sometimes irritate skin, eyes, or lungs if the powder is breathed in or gets into the eyes.
No Known Risk - Government and expert reviews do not show clear hazards for tricalcium phosphate. A Canadian health agency classifies it as not expected to be toxic and a low human-health priority. U.S. regulatory notes say it can be allowed in some limited food uses (and list a few specific prohibitions), and a cosmetics review found only possible irritation with the evidence described as unassessed. Together this means there are no proven or elevated risks for typical topical use on children.
