Ingredients Analysis (7 found)

Petrolatum

⚠️4/10

For babies 6 to 12 months, purified white petrolatum is okay to use on small areas as a skin barrier and moisturizer.

Banned - In the EU, this ingredient is restricted unless it is very pure, because it can carry PAH leftovers from oil. This rule comes from the EU Cosmetics Directive.

Organ Risk - Canada’s environmental health agency lists it as expected to be harmful and a high health priority. With repeat use, it may stress organs like the liver.

Builds Up - Studies in people (2015) and in lab rats (2017) found mineral oil parts can collect in body tissues over time. Small daily amounts can add up.

Long-Term Risk - Because it can build up in the body and may carry PAH impurities, risks can grow with years of use. Purity limits in the EU were set to lower this risk.

Confidence: MEDIUM

Bisabolol

✅3/10

For a 6–12 month old baby (older infant), bisabolol is usually low risk and is used to calm and condition baby skin. However, some people can get skin allergies from it, so babies with sensitive skin need extra care.

Confidence: MEDIUM

Lanolin Alcohol

✅3/10

For babies 6–12 months old, lanolin alcohol is usually okay but can cause skin allergies in some infants. Most babies will be fine, but those with very sensitive skin, eczema, or a known wool/sheep allergy are more likely to react.

Confidence: HIGH

Ceresin

✅1/10

For babies 6-12 months (infants), Ceresin is a waxy ingredient commonly used to thicken and soften skin products. Most evidence shows it is low risk for normal, external use on baby skin.

Confidence: MEDIUM

Glycerin

✅1/10

Glycerin is a gentle, water-attracting ingredient used to moisturize skin. For 6-12 month old babies it is generally safe in typical baby lotions and wipes. Problems are rare but possible.

Confidence: HIGH

Panthenol

✅1/10

Panthenol is generally safe for babies aged 6–12 months (infants, babies, little ones) when it is used in normal baby creams, lotions or wipes. Most babies tolerate it well and allergic reactions are uncommon.

No Known Risk - Health and regulatory reviews (including Canadian and U.S. assessments and industry safety panels) find panthenol has no reported hazards above a low level for topical use. It is not expected to harm organs, does not appear to build up in the body or the environment, and common concerns (cancer, allergies, reproductive effects) were rated low. There are some industry notes about safe use levels and a few data gaps, but no higher-level health risks were identified.

Confidence: HIGH

Mineral Oil

✅1/10

Mineral oil is commonly used in baby skin products as a moisturizer and barrier. It is very safe for topical use on babies 6-12 months old.

Confidence: HIGH
