Ingredients Analysis (9 found)

Clove extract

🚨6/10

Clove extract can cause skin irritation and allergic reactions in young children likely used for fragrance or antimicrobial effect

Irritant - Clove extract contains eugenol, which is known to cause skin irritation, redness, or rashes, especially on sensitive baby skin.

Absorbed - Eugenol in clove extract can be absorbed through the skin, raising concerns about systemic exposure in infants.

Organ Risk - High or repeated topical exposure to eugenol (the main component of clove extract) has been linked to liver toxicity in medical literature, which is a concern for babies with immature liver function.

Potassium Sorbate

✅2/10

For toddlers and young children (2–5 years), potassium sorbate is usually safe in small amounts in creams and lotions. The biggest issue is that it can cause skin allergies or irritation in some children.

Confidence: HIGH

Sodium Benzoate

✅2/10

For children ages 2-5 (toddlers, preschoolers), sodium benzoate is usually safe in small amounts when it's in products made for kids. Big safety reviewers and government agencies generally see low risk at the low levels used in lotions and wipes, but there are rules that limit how much can be used.

Confidence: HIGH

Sorbic Acid

✅2/10

For toddlers and young children (2-5 years), sorbic acid is usually low risk when used in small amounts in skin products. It helps stop germs from growing, but some children can get skin sensitivity or an allergic rash.

Xanthan Gum

✅1/10

For toddlers and preschoolers (2–5 years), xanthan gum is usually safe when used in creams, lotions and baby wipes. It thickens products and mainly stays on the skin. Most children do not have problems with it.

No Known Risk - Safety reviews and regulatory assessments find no health hazards above a low level for topical use. It is approved for limited use in food, classified as not expected to be toxic and a low human-health priority, and not suspected to be an environmental toxin. Cosmetic industry reviewers note only guidance on concentrations or purity. Because no concern was rated above low, no specific risks were identified for babies or children.
