Ingredients Analysis (16 found)

SODIUM LAURETH SULFATE

🚨6/10

For a 6–12 month old baby, this ingredient is a cleansing agent that can irritate sensitive skin or eyes and may carry tiny amounts of manufacturing impurities. It’s not banned, but it’s not the gentlest choice for infants.

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

PARFUM

🚨6/10

Parfum is a fragrance mix that can cause irritation or allergic reactions in babies 6-12 months old. It is common in shampoos and bodywashes for scent.

Confidence: HIGH

FRAGRANCE

⚠️5/10

Perfume can cause skin irritation or allergic reactions in babies 6-12 months. It is used to provide fragrance in baby care products but should be used with caution.

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

COCO-BETAINE

⚠️5/10

For babies 6–12 months old (infants, babies, little ones), this ingredient is commonly used in baby washes and shampoos and is generally okay when it is rinsed off. There are higher concerns about impurities and possible skin reactions, so caution is advised.

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

LAURETH-2

⚠️5/10

For babies 6–12 months: Laureth-2 is commonly used in cleansers and similar products and is generally considered low risk. However, small amounts of harmful impurities (called ethylene oxide and 1,4-dioxane) can sometimes be present if the ingredient isn’t well purified. Baby skin is delicate, so we take a cautious approach.

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

WATER

⚠️5/10

Water is very safe for topical use in babies 6-12 months and is used as a solvent and base in baby shampoos and bodywashes

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 a common solvent and poses no risk.

Confidence: HIGH

PEG-90

⚠️4/10

PEG-90 is not a recognized ingredient name it might be a misreading or typo of PEG-90M or similar PEG derivative

Confidence: HIGH

DISODIUM EDTA

✅3/10

For infants 6–12 months, Disodium EDTA is usually low risk when used in small amounts in baby lotions and wipes. The biggest issue is that it can irritate the skin or help other ingredients get into the skin faster, which may cause reactions in sensitive babies.

Confidence: MEDIUM

CITRIC ACID

✅2/10

For babies 6–12 months (infants), citric acid in small amounts in wipes and baby lotions is usually low risk. It can cause stinging if it gets in the eyes and can bother very sensitive or broken skin.

Confidence: HIGH

METHYLPROPANEDIOL

✅2/10

For babies 6–12 months old, this ingredient is usually low risk when it’s in normal baby lotions, wipes, or creams. It’s mainly a mild solvent and moisturizer. Safety reviews and regulatory reports show only limited signs of irritation and low concern for other health problems.

Confidence: HIGH

PENTYLENE GLYCOL

✅2/10

For babies 6–12 months old (older infants), pentylene glycol is generally low risk when used on normal, unbroken skin. It’s used to keep skin soft and to help other ingredients mix in. Most people don’t have problems, but a few sensitive people can get irritation or an allergic reaction.

Confidence: HIGH

SODIUM CHLORIDE

✅1/10

For babies aged 6–12 months (older infants), sodium chloride is basically table salt. In the small amounts used in baby wipes, lotions or saline it is usually safe and well tolerated.

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 babies 6–12 months old (older infants), sodium citrate used in small amounts in baby lotions and wipes is generally safe and low risk. It mainly helps keep product pH steady and stable.

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 use

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

AQUA

✅0/10

For babies 6-12 months (infants, older babies), plain water used on the skin is safe when it’s clean and part of a baby product. Official assessments say plain water is not expected to cause harm.

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.
