Ingredients Analysis (28 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
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
Sodium Coco-Sulfate
⚠️5/10
For babies 6–12 months, this ingredient is usually acceptable in rinse-off products like baby shampoo or body wash when the product is made for infants and rinsed off well. The biggest risk is irritation to the skin or eyes.
Irritant - Regulatory reviews report strong human evidence that this ingredient can irritate skin and eyes, with additional test data showing limited skin and eye irritation. These findings come from a cosmetic safety review panel and a European chemical regulator, so it can cause redness, stinging, or eye watering in some children.
Organ Risk - European and Canadian chemical authorities have classified the substance as toxic or harmful to non-reproductive organs and as a medium human-health priority. That means repeated or heavy use could stress organs (for example liver, kidneys, or lungs) over time.
Environmental - A Canadian regulator flagged this ingredient as a suspected environmental toxin, meaning it may harm wildlife or aquatic life if released to the environment during manufacture or disposal.
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 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
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
Chamomilla Recutita
✅3/10
For a 6–12 month old baby (older infant), German chamomile extract is usually low risk when used in small amounts on the skin. It can help calm and soothe, but some babies may have sensitive skin or develop a contact allergy.
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
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
Lauryl Hydroxysultaine
✅2/10
For a baby aged 6–12 months (older infant), this ingredient is considered low risk based on government and industry reviews. It’s commonly used as a gentle cleanser in shampoos and washes and is not expected to be toxic or to build up in the body. Still, direct studies in babies are limited, so care is advised.
No Known Risk - A Canadian government assessment found this ingredient is not expected to be harmful to organs, and it is not thought to stay in the body or build up in the environment. An industry safety review only recommends limits on how it is used in products, not that it causes harm. Taken together, these reviews do not flag any health risks for normal topical use.
Confidence: MEDIUM
Moringa Oleifera Seed Extract
✅2/10
For babies aged 6–12 months, moringa seed extract used on the skin is likely low risk. A public ingredient database gives it a very low overall concern rating. Still, there isn’t a lot of study data in babies, so we stay cautious.
No Known Risk - Reviewed safety summaries from widely used cosmetic ingredient resources show only low-level concerns for cancer, allergy/immune effects, and reproductive or developmental effects for topical use. That means no real risks were identified for normal skin use on children. As with any plant extract, if your child has a known plant allergy, do a small patch test first and stop use if irritation appears.
Confidence: LOW
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

Confidence: MEDIUM
Triethyl Citrate
✅2/10
For babies 6–12 months (infants): this ingredient is generally low risk for skin use, but it can cause allergic reactions in some people. Because infants have sensitive skin, take simple precautions.
Confidence: MEDIUM
Matricaria Flower Extract
✅2/10
For babies 6–12 months (older infants), chamomile (Matricaria recutita) flower extract is usually safe when used on normal, unbroken skin. Most babies won’t have problems, but a small number can get a skin allergy.
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
Blueberry Leaf Extract
✅1/10
Blueberry Leaf Extract is a natural botanical ingredient with antioxidant properties and low irritation risk, suitable for topical use in baby products like shampoo and bodywash.
No Known Risk - Blueberry leaf extract is generally considered safe for topical use, with no evidence in scientific literature linking it to irritation, allergies, hormone disruption, or other health risks in babies.

Confidence: HIGH
Maltodextrin
✅1/10
For babies 6–12 months (infants), maltodextrin in creams or lotions is usually safe. It’s used to help products feel better on the skin and is not linked to major health problems when used on the skin.
No Known Risk - Government and independent reviews find this ingredient safe for typical use. The U.S. food safety agency lists it as allowed for food, and a Canadian health agency says it is not expected to be toxic and is a low human-health priority. A cosmetic expert panel notes only routine limits on concentration or impurities. There are no identified health concerns above low for cancer, allergies, reproduction, or organ damage in the available assessments.
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.
