Ingredients Analysis (22 found)

Sodium Sulfite

⚠️5/10

For babies 6–12 months old, Sodium Sulfite is not highly dangerous but it is not ideal. Some rules limit its use in cosmetics, and safety experts advise keeping exposure low. The chance of serious harm is small, but caution is recommended for baby skin.

Banned - This ingredient is restricted or not allowed for use in some countries' cosmetics. A regional cosmetics regulation specifically limits or forbids its use in cosmetic products, and an industry safety review group recommends strict limits on concentration, impurities, product types and manufacturing methods because of data gaps. Because of those legal and industry limits, some safety programs and baby products avoid this ingredient.

Confidence: MEDIUM

Lecithin

⚠️4/10

For babies 6–12 months, lecithin is commonly used in creams and is usually okay, but it's not completely risk-free. Some people can have allergic or breathing reactions, and there are concerns about contamination and the ingredient helping other chemicals get into the skin.

Immune system - A professional clinic group (AOEC) and published case reports show strong evidence that lecithin can act as an allergen or immune-system irritant in people. That means it can trigger allergic or immune reactions in some children, so watch for rashes, swelling, or breathing trouble.

Asthma - Experts report lecithin as a human respiratory toxicant or allergen (AOEC) and case studies show possible breathing-related reactions. This could make asthma or wheezy breathing worse in sensitive children.

Absorbed - A cosmetic industry safety panel (Cosmetic Ingredient Review, CIR) lists lecithin as a penetration enhancer, meaning it can help other substances get through the skin and into the body. That raises the chance that unwanted chemicals could be absorbed.

Cancer - The ingredient record flags contamination concerns — specifically nitrosamines — at a high level. Nitrosamines are known carcinogens, so contamination raises a potential cancer risk if products contain those impurities.

Environmental - A national agency review (Environment Canada) notes uncertainty about environmental toxicity for this substance. That means it could pose risks to wildlife or ecosystems, though the evidence is unclear.

Confidence: MEDIUM

Sodium Hydroxide

⚠️4/10

For infants 6–12 months (older babies and crawlers), sodium hydroxide in tiny, well-formulated amounts used only to adjust product pH is usually low risk. It is dangerous if present in concentrated form or if a product is not made to avoid irritation.

Banned - This ingredient is restricted for use in cosmetics in some regions. The EU cosmetics rules list limits on its use, and industry safety reviewers say it can only be used safely at certain low concentrations or when specially handled.

Organ Risk - Authorities have flagged possible harm to organs with repeated or high exposures. A national health agency classified it as expected to be toxic or harmful and gave it a medium human-health priority, and a U.S. assessment found toxic effects in animal studies. There is also limited evidence of breathing-related toxicity noted by a medical literature source.

Asthma - There is limited evidence that breathing in this chemical can hurt the lungs or airways. Medical literature notes possible respiratory toxicity, so it could make breathing problems worse if a child is exposed to vapor or mist.

Confidence: HIGH

Glyceryl Polyacrylate

⚠️4/10

Glyceryl Polyacrylate is not a recognized cosmetic or baby care ingredient it may be a misreading or typo of Glyceryl Acrylate or Polyacrylate which are used as film formers or thickeners

Confidence: HIGH

Lauryl Glucoside

✅3/10

For a baby aged 6–12 months, lauryl glucoside is usually gentle and is commonly used in baby washes and wipes. Most infants do fine with it, but a small number may get skin irritation or an allergic rash.

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.

Carbomer

✅2/10

For babies 6–12 months old (infants, babies, toddlers under 1 year), carbomer is usually safe when used in small amounts in baby lotions, creams, or wipes. It acts to thicken products and generally stays on the skin. Serious health risks are not expected, but tiny amounts of manufacturing impurities have been reported as a concern.

Confidence: MEDIUM

Citric Acid

✅2/10

Coco-Glucoside

✅2/10

For babies 6–12 months (older infants), coco-glucoside is usually gentle and low risk when used in products made for babies. Most babies tolerate it well, but a small number can get irritation or allergic rash.

Confidence: HIGH

Potassium Sorbate

✅2/10

For infants aged 6–12 months, potassium sorbate is a common preservative and is usually safe in small amounts, but it can sometimes cause skin irritation or an allergic skin reaction.

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.

Tocopherol

✅2/10

For babies 6–12 months (infants, baby, toddler): tocopherol (vitamin E) is usually safe in small amounts found in baby lotions and wipes. Most babies tolerate it fine, but a few can get a rash or irritation.

Confidence: HIGH

Ascorbyl Dipolyhydroxystearate

✅1/10

Ascorbyl Dipolyhydroxystearate is a stable vitamin C derivative used as an antioxidant and skin conditioning agent. It is generally safe in topical baby products like wipes.

No Known Risk - Ascorbyl Dipolyhydroxystearate is a vitamin C derivative commonly used in topical products. Current research and safety assessments do not indicate any specific health risks for babies, including irritation, hormone disruption, or long-term effects. It is considered safe for use in baby products based on available data.

Confidence: HIGH

Caprylyl Glycol

For babies 6–12 months (infants), Caprylyl Glycol is usually low risk when used in small amounts in baby lotions and wipes. It is not thought to cause cancer or long-term harm based on government and industry reviews.

No Known Risk - Government and industry safety reviews found no clear health hazards for skin use. Tests say it is not likely to build up in the body, not persistent in the environment, and not harmful to organs. Industry reviewers do note limits on how much can be used and some data gaps, but overall the ingredient is rated low concern for topical use.

Confidence: MEDIUM

Glycerin

✅1/10

In other words, current ingredient assessments do not identify meaningful health risks for typical topical use.

Confidence: HIGH

Oat Kernel Extract

✅1/10

For babies 6–12 months (older infants), oat kernel extract is generally gentle and used to calm and protect skin. Most safety reviews find very low concern for long-term problems. However, a handful of safety notes say that allergic reactions have not been fully studied.

No Known Risk - Safety reviews by cosmetic experts (Cosmetic Ingredient Review) find this oat kernel extract safe for topical use and list only low-level concerns. There is no strong evidence of cancer, hormone, organ, or developmental harm from using it on the skin.

Confidence: HIGH

Palmitate

✅1/10

Palmitate is a fatty acid ester commonly used as an emollient in baby wipes and lotions. It is very safe for topical use on babies 6-12 months.

No Known Risk - Palmitate (such as palmitic acid or its esters) is a fatty acid commonly found in both plant and animal fats and is widely used in topical products. Current research and regulatory reviews do not indicate any significant health risks for babies when used topically. There is no evidence linking topical palmitate to irritation, allergy, hormone disruption, or other health concerns in infants.

Confidence: HIGH

Polyglyceryl-2

✅1/10

For a 6-12 month old baby (older infant), Polyglyceryl-2 is usually safe when it’s used in small amounts in baby products like wipes and lotions. It is not linked to cancer or long-term harm in the evidence reviewed, but there is a small note that it could cause irritation for some children.

No Known Risk - Multiple safety reviews and a national chemical assessment find no clear hazards for topical use: it is not expected to be organ-toxic, is not likely to build up in the body or the environment, and is not identified as an environmental toxin. Reports on skin/eye/lung irritation are limited or unassessed, and common concerns such as cancer or reproductive harm are rated low. Based on these assessments, no specific health risks have been identified for this ingredient.

Confidence: HIGH
