Ingredients Analysis (32 found)

PARFUM

🚨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.

Confidence: HIGH

FRAGRANCE

🚨6/10

Fragrance in baby lotion can cause skin irritation or allergic reactions in 1-2 year olds. It is included to provide scent but poses safety concerns for sensitive baby skin.

Confidence: HIGH

Not evaluated

Confidence: LOW

COCAMIDOPROPYL 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

HYDROXYETHYL ACRYLATE

⚠️5/10

For toddlers (1–2 years): the ingredient is generally low risk but can cause skin irritation or an allergic reaction in some children. It’s safer in products where the chemical is fully turned into a polymer rather than present as a free monomer.

Immune system - There is moderate concern that this chemical can cause allergic or immune reactions. European GHS labels list it as a possible skin toxicant/allergen, and medical database notes limited evidence of immune-system effects. That means some people—especially children with sensitive skin—could get rashes or allergic reactions.

Organ Risk - Authorities have flagged possible harm to body organs with repeated or higher exposures. European GHS classification calls it toxic or harmful to organ systems (non‑reproductive), though another agency found no expected toxicity. Because an official hazard label exists, there is a real risk if exposure is strong or repeated.

Long-Term Risk - Workplace guidance limits allowed exposures to low doses, which suggests concern about effects from repeated or long-term contact. That official workplace restriction indicates a risk if someone is exposed often over time.

Confidence: HIGH

WATER

⚠️5/10

Water is very safe for topical use in baby lotions as it acts as a solvent and moisturizer with no toxicity concerns for 1-2 year olds

Confidence: HIGH

EAU

⚠️5/10

EAU is French for water, a common safe ingredient in baby lotions and topical products for 1-2 year olds

Confidence: HIGH

PEG-7 GLYCERYL COCOATE

⚠️4/10

For toddlers (1-2 years) this ingredient is usually safe in small amounts. It’s commonly found in shampoos and body washes and helps clean and soften skin. Because it can sometimes carry tiny manufacturing contaminants and can help other things get into the skin more easily, we recommend some caution for young children.

Cancer - This ingredient can be contaminated with tiny amounts of ethylene oxide and 1,4‑dioxane. Public health authorities list those chemicals as carcinogenic or likely carcinogenic, so their presence as contaminants raises a cancer concern even at low levels.

Absorbed - An industry safety review notes this ingredient can act as a skin penetration enhancer. That means it can help other chemicals (including any contaminants) get through baby skin and into the body.

Long-Term Risk - Because of the contamination risk with chemicals linked to cancer and because safety assessments rely on limited data and related chemicals, there is a real worry about possible harms from repeated, long‑term use.

Organ Risk - One of the contaminants noted (1,4‑dioxane) has been linked by regulators to liver and kidney effects in animal studies, so contamination could pose a risk to organs with repeated exposure.

Confidence: MEDIUM

SODIUM MYRETH SULFATE

⚠️4/10

For toddlers (1-2 years), this ingredient is usually okay in rinse-off products like gentle shampoos and washes, but there are two things to watch for: it can sometimes irritate skin or eyes, and small amounts of unwanted contaminants can be left from manufacturing if a product isn’t properly processed.

Cancer - The ingredient data flags contamination with ethylene oxide and 1,4‑dioxane. Those impurities are linked to cancer risk when they are present in products, so the main worry is not the ingredient itself but these contaminant chemicals (listed in the ingredient data and noted in safety reviews).

Long-Term Risk - Because contamination with ethylene oxide and 1,4‑dioxane is called out, there is a possible long-term health risk from repeated exposure. The ingredient record also shows safety-review gaps and limits on use, which means long-term safety is not fully settled (see Cosmetic Ingredient Review and the ingredient data notes).

Confidence: MEDIUM

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

PEG-150 DISTEARATE

✅2/10
