Ingredients Analysis (21 found)

Heliotropine

🚨7/10

Heliotropine also called piperonal is a fragrance ingredient with allergenic potential and not recommended for infants under 12 months

Irritant - Piperonal can cause mild skin irritation in sensitive individuals, especially with repeated or prolonged topical exposure, which may be a concern for babies' delicate skin.

Confidence: HIGH

Linalyl Acetate

🚨6/10

For babies aged 6–12 months, linalyl acetate is best treated with caution. It can cause skin sensitivity or allergic reactions, especially if the product has been exposed to air or is an old/opened essential oil product. Other long-term toxicity concerns are low.

Immune system - Linalyl acetate can turn into strong contact allergens when it oxidizes in air. This allergy risk is noted by regulatory and health authorities, which list it as a human allergen/toxicant and flag immunotoxicity concerns.

Irritant - Oxidized linalyl acetate is linked to skin reactions and dermal toxicity in people. Testing and safety reviews report it can cause contact dermatitis and other skin irritation after topical use.

Eczema - Because it can form potent contact allergens on air exposure, this ingredient can trigger or make eczema and similar skin conditions worse, as noted in clinical reports and chemical safety assessments.

Confidence: MEDIUM-HIGH

Parfum

🚨6/10

Premium Fragrance Oil is a vague term for fragrance blends that may contain allergens or irritants. Fragrances often cause skin sensitivity in babies 6-12 months.

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

Methyldihydrojasmonate

⚠️5/10

For infants 6–12 months (baby, infant), this fragrance ingredient is not thought to be highly toxic, but it is known to cause allergic skin reactions in some people. Because baby skin is sensitive, there is a moderate chance of a reaction.

Immune system - This ingredient is listed as a human toxicant/allergen with strong evidence by the EU Cosmetics Directive. That means it can cause allergic reactions and affect the immune response in some children who touch or breathe it.

Irritant - Because it is identified as an allergen by the EU Cosmetics Directive, it can cause skin irritation such as redness, itchiness, or rashes on sensitive baby skin after topical use.

Eczema - The strong allergen classification from the EU Cosmetics Directive means this ingredient can trigger or worsen eczema and similar skin conditions in children who are prone to those issues.

Confidence: MEDIUM

Water

⚠️5/10

Water is safe for baby skin and is used as a solvent or base in most baby care products

Confidence: HIGH

Eau

⚠️5/10

Eau is water in French and is very safe for topical use on babies. It is likely the main solvent or base in baby wipes or lotions.

Confidence: HIGH

Vanillin

⚠️4/10

For babies 6–12 months (infants and older babies): vanillin is usually low risk for serious harm but can cause skin sensitivity or allergic reactions in some children.

Immune system - Vanillin is listed by the EU Cosmetics Directive as a known human allergen, and the European Chemicals Agency has reported evidence of skin allergies. That means it can trigger immune reactions in some people, so it is a real allergy risk for children who have sensitive skin or past allergies.

Irritant - Health authorities note limited evidence of dermal toxicity and allergic skin reactions (reported by the European Chemicals Agency). This can cause redness, itching, or rashes on sensitive baby skin if they touch products with vanillin.

Eczema - Because vanillin is recognized as a skin allergen and can cause allergic reactions, it can also trigger or make eczema worse in children who already have atopic or sensitive skin (based on the EU allergen listing and ECHA findings).

Confidence: MEDIUM

Decyl Glucoside

✅3/10

For babies 6–12 months, Decyl Glucoside is generally considered a gentle cleansing ingredient and is often used in baby washes and wipes. Most of the time it is safe when rinsed off, but a small number of people can get allergic or irritating reactions.

Confidence: HIGH

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

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

Therefore, no risk labels apply based on current research.

Confidence: HIGH

Glycerin

✅1/10

Confidence: HIGH

Glyceryl Oleate

✅1/10

For infants 6–12 months (babies), glyceryl oleate is usually safe in topical creams and lotions. It helps mix oil and water and conditions skin. Most experts consider it low risk for long-term problems, but some people can get irritation.

No Known Risk - Major safety reviews and a small number of human case reports show only low or unclear concerns. Experts have judged the ingredient safe for topical use when used with normal concentration limits, and reported allergic or nerve-related cases are rare and not clearly linked to the ingredient. Because there is no clear, above-low evidence of harm, no specific risks are flagged.

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.
