Glycyrrhiza Glabra Root Extract

⚠️5/10

For babies 6–12 months, licorice root extract is somewhat risky. It can rarely irritate skin or cause allergic reactions, and there is evidence from scientific reviews that it can affect hormone systems and, in higher exposures, the liver and heart.

Hormones - Multiple human and animal studies show licorice root can change hormone signals. A 2017 toxicology review found strong evidence that it can disrupt the human adrenal system, and other reviews report human-level hormone effects.

Confuse Hormones - Studies report that licorice components can act like or block hormones — for example limited evidence of estrogen-like activity and moderate evidence of anti-androgen effects in people and animals (see the 1997 estrogen study and a 2012 update on plant anti-androgens).

Fertility - There is moderate evidence linking licorice to reproductive harm: a toxicology review and animal studies report effects on the male reproductive system and other reproductive/developmental concerns.

Organ Risk - Reviews link licorice to non-reproductive organ harm, especially the liver, and note possible cardiovascular effects (see the 2017 toxicology review and a 2019 paper on licorice and the cardiovascular system).

Immune system - Animal studies show immune or allergy-related effects at low to moderate doses, indicating a real risk of immune reactions for some people (see a 2018 phytochemical and pharmacological review).

Irritant - Cosmetic safety reviewers report limited evidence that licorice root extract can irritate skin or eyes, so it can cause redness or irritation for sensitive skin.

Confidence: MEDIUM

Decyl Glucoside

✅3/10

For babies 6–12 months, Decyl Glucoside is generally considered a gentle cleansing ingredient and is often used in baby washes and wipes. Most of the time it is safe when rinsed off, but a small number of people can get allergic or irritating reactions.

Confidence: HIGH

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

Tetrasodium Glutamate Diacetate

✅3/10

For babies 6–12 months old this ingredient is usually low risk at the small amounts used in skin products. It helps products stay stable and stops metal impurities from causing problems. But regulators have flagged possible irritation, rare genetic test findings, and possible impurities, so we take a cautious approach with infants.

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

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

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 Bicarbonate

✅1/10

For infants 6–12 months (babies and older babies), sodium bicarbonate is very low risk when used in gentle, low-concentration products. Most official reviews find little hazard, but baby skin can be sensitive so it may cause mild dryness or a little redness in some babies.

No Known Risk - Government and industry safety reviews find no clear hazards for normal topical use. The U.S. FDA allows limited food uses; Environment Canada says it is not expected to be toxic or to build up in the body; an industry safety panel notes some data gaps and sets safe use limits but does not identify a health risk when used as intended. Based on these assessments, there are no known health risks for typical topical use.

Confidence: HIGH

Sodium Citrate

✅1/10

For babies 6–12 months old (older infants), sodium citrate used in small amounts in baby lotions and wipes is generally safe and low risk. It mainly helps keep product pH steady and stable.

No Known Risk - Reviewed safety information shows only low-level concerns. U.S. food regulators say it is allowed for some food uses, a cosmetic safety panel notes allowed limits and some data gaps but does not show hazards at normal use, and a national environment agency finds it unlikely to harm organs, build up in the body, or persist in the environment. Because no health concern was reported above low, there are no specific risks identified for typical topical use.

Confidence: HIGH

Cucumis Sativus Fruit Extract

✅1/10

Cucumis Sativus is cucumber extract commonly used for soothing skin generally safe for baby topical use

No Known Risk - Cucumber extract is generally considered safe for topical use, including on baby skin. There is no strong evidence linking it to irritation, allergies, or any of the listed health risks in babies. It is commonly used in baby skincare products without reported adverse effects.

Confidence: HIGH

Calendula Officianalis Flower Extract

✅1/10

Calendula Officianalis Flower Extract is a common soothing botanical used in baby wipes and lotions. It is generally safe and well tolerated in topical use for babies 6-12 months.

Confidence: HIGH

Chamomile Recutita Flower Extract

✅1/10

Chamomile Recutita Flower Extract is commonly used in baby wipes for its soothing properties and is generally very safe for babies 6-12 months in topical use.

Confidence: HIGH

Purified 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
