Ingredients Analysis (7 found)

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
Cornstarch
1/10
Pure Cornstarch is commonly used as a safe absorbent and skin protectant in baby products for 6-12 month olds with minimal risk of irritation or toxicity.
No Known Risk - Cornstarch is widely used in baby powders and topical products, and current research does not show immediate health concerns for topical use on intact skin. While there is some caution for use on broken skin or in cases of inhalation, for topical use on healthy baby skin, there are no established risks based on available evidence.
Confidence: HIGH
Zinc Oxide
1/10
Zinc oxide is a safe mineral ingredient for topical use on babies 6 to 12 months when in creams or lotions. It protects skin and acts as a physical sunscreen or barrier.
Confidence: HIGH
aloe vera
1/10
Organic Aloe Vera is commonly used for soothing skin and is generally safe for babies in topical products
Confidence: HIGH
chamomile
1/10
Matricaria Chamomilla is chamomile extract commonly used for soothing skin and is generally safe for babies in topical products
Confidence: HIGH
kaolin
1/10
Kaolin is a mild clay used on the skin. For babies 6–12 months it is generally very safe when used in lotions, creams, or wipes. It is not known to cause serious long-term harm when used on the skin.
No Known Risk - Government safety reviews find kaolin is not expected to be harmful to organs, is a low human-health priority, does not build up in the body, and is not considered an environmental toxin. Some product verification programs do require extra proof before allowing it, but current safety assessments do not identify real health risks for children from topical use.
Confidence: HIGH
tricalcium phosphate
1/10
For babies 6–12 months old, tricalcium phosphate in skin care is usually safe and considered low risk. It doesn’t soak into the skin much and is not linked to serious health problems, but some forms can irritate skin, eyes, or lungs.
No Known Risk - Government and expert reviews do not show clear hazards for tricalcium phosphate. A Canadian health agency classifies it as not expected to be toxic and a low human-health priority. U.S. regulatory notes say it can be allowed in some limited food uses (and list a few specific prohibitions), and a cosmetics review found only possible irritation with the evidence described as unassessed. Together this means there are no proven or elevated risks for typical topical use on children.
