Ingredients Analysis (14 found)

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
Tetrasodium EDTA
⚠️4/10
For a 6–12 month old infant, this ingredient is usually low risk for long-term harm when used in small amounts in baby wipes, lotions or shampoos. However, it can irritate skin and eyes and may help other ingredients get into the skin more easily, so extra care is wise for babies.
Irritant - This ingredient is officially classed as an irritant by the EU GHS hazard codes. That means it can cause skin or eye redness, itch, or breathing irritation if it touches skin or is breathed in.
Organ Risk - Environment Canada lists this chemical as expected to be toxic or harmful to non-reproductive body systems and gives it a medium human-health priority. That signals a real risk of harm to organs (for example liver or kidneys) with harmful exposures.
Absorbed - A cosmetic safety panel (Cosmetic Ingredient Review) identifies this ingredient as a penetration enhancer. That means it can help other substances, and itself, get through the skin into the body.
Long-Term Risk - Workplace limits and the medium health-priority classification (reported by regulators) indicate caution for repeated or long-term exposure. Those findings suggest possible health effects after years of exposure.
Confidence: HIGH
C10-30 Alkyl Acrylate Crosspolymer
✅3/10
For babies 6–12 months this ingredient is usually low risk. It’s used to thicken lotions and creams. Most of the time it’s safe on baby skin, but there are notes about possible contamination and limited data, so some care is smart.
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
Glycol Distearate
✅2/10
For babies aged 6–12 months, glycol distearate is generally low risk when used in normal baby lotions or washes. It helps make products feel smooth and look pearly. Most safety reviews find little concern for serious harms, but there are gaps in some safety data and limits recommended by reviewers depending on product type.
Confidence: MEDIUM
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.
Confidence: MEDIUM
Acrylates
✅2/10
Acrylates Copolymer is usually low risk for babies 6–12 months old. It is used to help products form a thin film on skin. Most of the worry about it comes from possible tiny contaminants and from products that can irritate sensitive skin if not made carefully.
Confidence: HIGH
Sodium Methyl Lauroyl Taurate
✅2/10
For babies (6–12 months) this ingredient is generally low risk. It’s a mild cleansing agent you’ll find in baby shampoos and washes. There isn’t a lot of testing specifically in infants, but safety reviews say it can be safe when products are made to avoid irritation.
No Known Risk - A cosmetics safety review found this ingredient safe for topical use when it is used at the right amounts and formulated to avoid irritation. Reviews did not find any higher-than-low concerns for cancer, hormone effects, or reproductive/developmental harm. Minor irritation potential has been noted in some assessments, but overall no clear health risks were identified when the ingredient is properly formulated.
Confidence: MEDIUM
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
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
Sodium Lauroyl Glutamate
✅1/10
For babies 6–12 months (infants, older babies), this is a mild cleansing ingredient that is normally safe in rinse-off products like baby shampoo and wash. It has a very low risk profile when used at normal levels.
No Known Risk - Formal cosmetic safety reviews find this ingredient safe for use in skin products when used within set limits. The only issues noted are low-level concerns for mild skin or eye irritation and standard use restrictions, and no higher hazards were identified. Based on those assessments, there are no real, above‑low health risks flagged for children from typical topical use.
Confidence: HIGH
Stearic Acid
✅1/10
For babies 6 to 12 months old, stearic acid is generally low risk when it’s in normal baby lotions, creams or wipes. It rarely causes problems for most babies.
Confidence: HIGH
Aqua
✅0/10
Aqua is water used as a solvent in baby products. It is very safe and essential for formulation with no known risks for 6-12 month babies.
No Known Risk - Aqua (water) is an inert solvent/vehicle in topical formulations with no evidence of inherent toxicity, hormone disruption, carcinogenicity, bioaccumulation, or organ damage in infants. It is not a known skin sensitizer or asthma trigger. Any risk would come from contaminants or other formulation ingredients rather than the water itself, so as used in properly manufactured baby products it poses no known intrinsic risk for 6–12 month old babies.
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
