Ingredients Analysis (9 found)

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

phenoxyethanol

✅3/10

For babies 6–12 months old (infants and older babies), phenoxyethanol in lotions or wipes is usually low risk when the product is made for babies and the preservative is used at low levels. It can still irritate the skin or eyes in some babies, and very rarely cause an allergic reaction.

Confidence: MEDIUM

tocopheryl acetate

✅3/10

Usually fine for most 6–12 month old babies when used sparingly on healthy skin. The main worry is a possible skin rash in sensitive babies.

Confidence: MEDIUM

aloe barbadensis leaf juice

✅2/10

For babies 6 to 12 months old, aloe vera leaf juice used on the skin is usually safe when it is part of a product made for baby skin and used in small amounts. It helps moisturize and soothe, but a small number of babies may be sensitive.

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

disodium cocoamphodiacetate

✅2/10

For a 6–12 month old baby this ingredient is usually safe when used in normal baby cleansers or wipes. It has only low, limited signs of causing skin or eye irritation in testing.

No Known Risk - Government and cosmetic safety reviewers evaluated this ingredient and did not find evidence of serious harms for normal topical use. A Canadian regulator said it is not expected to be toxic or to build up in the body. European and industry reviewers noted only limited, low evidence for mild skin or eye irritation. No clear links were found to cancer, reproductive harm, organ damage, or environmental toxicity. Because the reported concerns are low or limited, there are no known significant risks for typical use on skin.

Confidence: HIGH

sodium benzoate

✅2/10

For babies 6–12 months old, sodium benzoate in small amounts is generally low risk when used in skin products. Babies this age handle it better than newborns, but it may irritate very sensitive or broken skin.

Confidence: MEDIUM

disodium phosphate

✅1/10

For babies aged 6–12 months, disodium phosphate is usually safe in skin products. It’s used to help control acidity and is not thought to cause long-term harm. The main concern is that it can sometimes irritate skin or eyes in sensitive people.

No Known Risk - Government and scientific reviews find no health hazards for normal use. It is allowed for limited use in food, has been classified as not likely to harm organs or build up in the body, and is not expected to be an environmental toxin. A cosmetic safety review notes skin/eye/lung irritation has not been clearly shown. Taken together, reviewers did not find any health concerns above a low level for topical use.

Confidence: HIGH

water

✅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.
