Ingredients Analysis (32 found)

butyloctyl salicylate

⚠️5/10

For babies 6–12 months old, this ingredient needs caution. It’s not one of the most worrying ingredients overall, but there are reports of possible contamination with salicylic acid and some animal studies showing effects at moderate doses. Because babies’ skin soaks up more, we treat it as a moderate concern.

Absorbed - The ingredient is used on skin and the safety notes flag enhanced skin absorption and contamination with salicylic acid. Peer-reviewed assessments say this can increase how much gets into the body, so topical use can lead to systemic exposure.

Fertility - Regulatory and peer-reviewed assessments found animal studies showing developmental and reproductive effects at moderate doses. A formal assessment of salicylate esters flagged reproductive/developmental concerns.

Hormones - Peer-reviewed literature associates this ingredient with endocrine disruption. That means it can affect natural hormone systems in early life or during development.

Confuse Hormones - Scientific reviews report this substance can act like or interfere with normal hormones (an endocrine effect). This can confuse hormone signals during growth and development.

Irritant - Animal studies in the literature show eye, respiratory and skin irritation at higher doses. That means it can cause redness, stinging, or breathing irritation in some uses or at high exposure.

Sun Burn - An industry safety panel (Cosmetic Ingredient Review) notes it must be formulated to avoid increasing sun sensitivity. If not, it can make skin burn faster in the sun.

Long-Term Risk - Industry and peer-reviewed sources place limits or use restrictions on this ingredient, indicating it needs concentration or formulation limits to be considered safe over time.

Confidence: HIGH

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

nigella sativa seed oil

✅2/10

For a 6–12 month-old baby (infant), black cumin seed oil appears low risk based on public ingredient safety information. That means it is generally considered low concern for long-term effects and allergies, but there is little direct study in babies so some caution is still sensible.

No Known Risk - A safety review of this topical seed oil shows only low-level notes for cancer, allergies/immunity, and reproductive effects and no higher-level warnings or use restrictions. In other words, the available ingredient record did not flag any health risks above a low concern, so there are no known harms identified for typical topical use.
