Ingredients Analysis (21 found)

retinyl palmitate
🚨7/10
Retinyl palmitate is a vitamin A derivative with potential skin irritation and toxicity risk for infants likely used as an antioxidant
Irritant - Retinyl Palmitate can cause skin irritation, redness, and peeling, especially on sensitive baby skin.
Sun Burn - Retinyl Palmitate may increase skin sensitivity to sunlight, raising the risk of sunburn.
Absorbed - Retinyl Palmitate can be absorbed through the skin and enter the bloodstream.
Cancer - Some studies suggest that Retinyl Palmitate may speed up the development of skin tumors when exposed to sunlight, though evidence is mixed.
Confidence: HIGH
cocamidopropyl betaine
⚠️5/10
For babies 6–12 months old (infants, babies, little ones), this ingredient is commonly used in baby washes and shampoos and is generally okay when it is rinsed off. There are higher concerns about impurities and possible skin reactions, so caution is advised.
Immune system - Cosmetic safety reviews (Cosmetic Ingredient Review and draft safety reports) report limited evidence that cocamidopropyl betaine can sensitize skin or trigger allergic reactions. That means it can affect the immune system in some people, especially those with sensitive skin.
Irritant - Industry safety assessments note limited evidence of skin sensitization and explicitly warn the ingredient may be unsafe in products left on the skin (not rinsed off). This shows it can cause redness, itching, or irritation for some users.
Eczema - Safety panels and reports observed cases of sensitization and recommend limits on use and product types. Because it can provoke skin reactions, it may trigger or worsen eczema in sensitive children.
Cancer - Regulatory and industry reviews flag contamination concerns for this ingredient, including nitrosamines and related amines. Nitrosamines are known to be carcinogenic, so impurity risks raise a cancer concern unless impurities are controlled as industry reviewers recommend.
Banned - Expert panels and tentative regulatory reports recommend use, concentration, and manufacturing restrictions for this ingredient and note it is unsafe in some product types (leave-on). While not universally banned, it is subject to regulatory or industry limits in some contexts.
Environmental - A national environmental agency (Environment Canada) flagged this ingredient as a suspected environmental toxin, indicating possible harm to ecosystems if released into the environment.
Confidence: HIGH
parfum 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
aqua water eau
⚠️5/10
Aqua Water Eau is simply water used as a solvent and base in baby shampoos and bodywashes. It is very safe for 6-12 month babies.
Confidence: HIGH
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
ethylhexylglycerin
✅3/10
For babies 6–12 months old, this ingredient is usually low risk when used in small amounts in creams and lotions. However, it can sometimes cause skin irritation or a rare allergic reaction, and it can irritate the eyes.
Confidence: HIGH
peg 150 distearate
✅3/10
For babies 6 to 12 months old, this ingredient is usually safe in small amounts in skin products. The main worry is tiny traces of manufacturing impurities, not the ingredient itself.
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
polyquaternium 10
✅2/10
For babies 6–12 months old, this ingredient is generally considered low risk, but direct safety testing in infants is limited. Because related chemicals have shown possible effects in animal and lab studies, we stay cautious for babies and keep the safety score low but not zero.
Confidence: MEDIUM
sodium methyl cocoyl taurate
✅2/10
For babies 6–12 months this is a gentle cleansing ingredient and is usually low risk. It is commonly used in baby wash and similar products and is not linked to cancer or long-term harm at normal use levels.
Confidence: HIGH
butyrospermum parkii shea butter
✅1/10
Butyrospermum Parkii Shea Butter is a natural moisturizer commonly used in baby products. It is very safe for 6-12 month babies in topical use.
No Known Risk - Shea butter is widely used in baby skincare products and is generally considered safe for topical use. There is no strong evidence linking it to irritation, allergies, hormone disruption, or other health risks in babies. Rare allergic reactions may occur, but these are uncommon and not specific to infants. Current research and regulatory guidance do not identify any significant risks for babies when shea butter is used topically.
Confidence: HIGH
caprylyl glycol
✅1/10
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
cocos nucifera coconut oil
✅1/10
Coconut oil is usually safe for babies 6-12 months when used on the skin. It’s a common moisturiser and is low risk for cancer or long-term harm, but some babies can get mild irritation.
Confidence: HIGH
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
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.
Confidence: HIGH
sodium lauroamphoacetate
✅1/10
For babies aged 6–12 months this ingredient is generally gentle and low risk when used in rinse-off baby products (like gentle washes or wipes). But some safety reports note possible contamination with an impurity and a small chance of skin or eye irritation, so extra care is reasonable for infants.
Confidence: HIGH
calendula officinalis flower extract
✅1/10
Calendula Officinalis Flower Extract is commonly used in baby skincare for soothing and anti inflammatory properties and is generally safe for topical use in babies 6 to 12 months.
Confidence: HIGH
