Ingredients Analysis (6 found)

balsam peru resin

🚫8/10

Balsam Peru is commonly used for scent and is a known skin allergen. For babies aged 6–12 months, it can cause redness, rash, or more serious allergic reactions. Because baby skin is delicate, this ingredient is best avoided.

Immune system - This ingredient is a known human allergen and has strong evidence of causing immune reactions. Regulatory sources (EU Cosmetics Directive) list it as an allergen, and the fragrance industry group (IFRA) notes strong evidence of immune-system harm. That means it can trigger allergic responses in people, including children.

Eczema - Because it is a confirmed allergen and can cause contact reactions, it can trigger or worsen eczema and similar skin problems. The EU requires labeling for allergens for this substance and industry guidance identifies strong allergic potential.

Irritant - This ingredient can cause skin redness, itching or rashes on sensitive skin. Safety and regulatory reviews (EU guidance and fragrance-industry assessments) flag it as a skin sensitizer and workplace exposure is limited for safety.

Banned - Use of this material is restricted in some product standards and regulated by official rules: EU cosmetics rules require allergen labeling and EU GHS workplace rules limit allowed exposures. Some product-verification programs also bar it without special proof, so its use is limited or controlled in parts of the world.

Confidence: HIGH

petrolatum

⚠️4/10

For babies 6 to 12 months, purified white petrolatum is okay to use on small areas as a skin barrier and moisturizer.

Banned - In the EU, this ingredient is restricted unless it is very pure, because it can carry PAH leftovers from oil. This rule comes from the EU Cosmetics Directive.

Organ Risk - Canada’s environmental health agency lists it as expected to be harmful and a high health priority. With repeat use, it may stress organs like the liver.

Builds Up - Studies in people (2015) and in lab rats (2017) found mineral oil parts can collect in body tissues over time. Small daily amounts can add up.

Long-Term Risk - Because it can build up in the body and may carry PAH impurities, risks can grow with years of use. Purity limits in the EU were set to lower this risk.
