Ingredients Analysis (15 found)

laureth-4
🚨6/10
For babies 6–12 months (older infants), Laureth-4 can cause skin or eye irritation and there are concerns about tiny amounts of manufacturing contaminants. It’s not ideal for regular use on baby skin.
Irritant - A formal safety review (Cosmetic Ingredient Review, CIR) found strong evidence that this ingredient can irritate skin, eyes, or lungs in people. The same review flags moderate irritation as a real concern for topical use, so babies with sensitive skin may get redness, itching, or rashes.
Cancer - This ingredient can carry contamination from ethylene oxide and 1,4-dioxane. International health agencies (IARC/WHO) list ethylene oxide as a known human carcinogen and 1,4-dioxane as a possible carcinogen. Because these impurities can be present, there is a real cancer-related risk from contaminated product exposure.
Long-Term Risk - Regulatory and industry safety reviews note impurities and data gaps for this chemical and recommend limits on impurities and manufacturing methods (Cosmetic Ingredient Review). Persistent exposure to the listed contaminants is tied to long-term health effects, so repeated use raises longer-term risk.
Absorbed - This is a topical, ethoxylated ingredient and industry reviews warn that manufacturing impurities can remain. Those impurities and the ingredient itself can be absorbed through skin, so some chemical can reach the body after use (noted in CIR assessments).
Confidence: HIGH
benzyl alcohol
⚠️5/10
For babies 6–12 months (infants), benzyl alcohol can cause skin irritation and allergic reactions. It’s not as risky as for newborns, but it isn’t completely risk-free for this age.
Immune system - Benzyl alcohol is a known human allergen with strong evidence of immune effects. Regulators and scientific reviews list it as an allergenic or immunotoxicant and there are human case reports of allergic reactions, so it can trigger immune responses in children.
Eczema - There are strong reports and regulatory listings showing benzyl alcohol can cause allergic skin reactions. Because of this, it can trigger or make eczema and similar rashes worse on sensitive baby skin.
Irritant - There is documented evidence of skin and eye irritation from benzyl alcohol (including agency evaluations of irritation), so it can cause redness, stinging, or rashes—especially on sensitive or infant skin.
Organ Risk - Government hazard classifications and peer-reviewed sources have identified benzyl alcohol as toxic or harmful to organ systems at some exposures. These classifications indicate repeated or higher exposures could affect organs (for example liver or kidneys).
Confidence: MEDIUM
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
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
hamamelis virginiana (witch hazel) water
✅3/10
Hamamelis Virginiana Water is witch hazel water used as a soothing agent minor irritation possible but generally safe for baby skin in low concentrations
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
propanediol
✅3/10
For babies 6–12 months (infant, baby, toddler), propanediol is usually low risk when used at the levels found in baby lotions and wipes. But it can sometimes irritate sensitive skin and can make skin absorb other ingredients more easily, so we remain careful.
Confidence: MEDIUM
aloe barbadensis leaf
✅2/10
For a 6-12 month old baby, aloe leaf extract is usually safe on the skin when it comes from products made for babies. It helps soothe and moisturize, but a small number of infants may develop irritation or an allergic reaction.
Confidence: MEDIUM
butylene glycol
✅2/10
For babies 6–12 months (infants, little ones, young babies): this ingredient is commonly used and has low long-term health concerns, but it can irritate skin, eyes or lungs in some people.
Confidence: HIGH
polysorbate 20
✅2/10
For infants 6–12 months (older babies), Polysorbate 20 is usually low risk. It helps mix oils and water in baby wipes and lotions and rarely causes irritation. The main issue is possible tiny amounts of manufacturing contaminants, so we take a cautious approach.
Confidence: HIGH
avena sativa (oat) kernel extract
✅1/10
For babies 6-12 months old (infants, babies, toddlers under one year), oat kernel extract is generally gentle and used to soothe dry or irritated skin. Most babies tolerate it well.
No Known Risk - Formal cosmetic safety assessments find only low-level concerns for cancer, allergies, and developmental effects and conclude the ingredient is generally safe for topical use, sometimes with limits on concentration. No higher-than-low risks were identified in available reviews, so there are no clear real risks for children from normal topical use.
Confidence: HIGH
butyrospermum parkii (shea) butter
✅1/10
Shea butter is generally safe for baby skin moisturization and barrier protection with low risk of irritation or allergy
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
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
water
✅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.
Confidence: HIGH
