Ingredients Analysis (22 found)

clary sage
🚨6/10
Clary sage oil can cause skin irritation and contains esters not well studied for infants likely used for fragrance
Irritant - Clary sage oil is an essential oil that can cause skin irritation, redness, or rashes, especially on sensitive baby skin or if not properly diluted.
Absorbed - Clary sage oil contains compounds that can be absorbed through the skin, potentially entering the bloodstream, which is a concern for babies with developing systems.
Confidence: HIGH
anise seed extract
⚠️5/10
For infants 6–12 months (babies): this ingredient can cause skin allergies in some children. It is not shown to be a cancer risk, but because baby skin is sensitive, there is a real chance of an allergic reaction.
Immune system - This extract is flagged as a known human allergen and there is evidence it can cause immune reactions on the skin. The EU cosmetics authority lists it as an allergen and a European chemicals review notes cases of dermal allergy, so it can trigger allergic responses in some children if applied to skin.
Irritant - Regulatory review found limited evidence of dermal toxicity and allergic skin reactions. That means the extract can cause skin irritation like redness, itching, or stinging in sensitive individuals, including babies and young children.
Eczema - Because it is reported to cause skin allergies and irritation, it may trigger or make eczema worse in children who are prone to atopic or contact dermatitis. This concern is based on the allergen listings and dermal reaction reports from European safety reviews.
Confidence: MEDIUM
basil leaf extract
3/10
Ocimum basilicum leaf extract is basil extract used for fragrance or soothing but limited safety data for infants so minor concerns
No Known Risk - Basil leaf extract is generally considered safe for topical use, with no strong evidence linking it to irritation, allergies, hormone disruption, or other health risks in babies. There are no known reports of toxicity or adverse effects in infants from topical application, so it is considered low risk based on current research.
Confidence: MEDIUM
phytic acid
3/10
For babies 6–12 months, phytic acid in small amounts in finished baby products is usually low risk, but it can sometimes irritate sensitive skin and can be absorbed through the skin. Be cautious because some reviews note very small signs of hormone-related effects in tests.
Confidence: MEDIUM
rosemary leaf extract
3/10
Rosemary leaf extract is generally safe in topical baby products but may cause mild irritation in sensitive skin. It is used for its antioxidant and preservative properties.
Confidence: HIGH
French lavender
2/10
This lavender extract is generally considered low risk, but because babies (6-12 months) have very sensitive skin, it can sometimes cause redness or a rash. Overall it’s not flagged as a major chemical hazard in the source data, but plant extracts can still bother some infants.
No Known Risk - The supplied safety review for this topical ingredient did not find any concerns above low. That means no clear risks (such as hormone disruption, organ damage, cancer links, or breathing problems) were reported for typical topical use. The ingredient is noted as restricted by a product‑verification program unless extra safety data are provided, but the review itself did not identify health hazards.

No Known Risk - Evening Primrose Oil is generally considered safe for topical use, including on sensitive skin, and there is no strong evidence linking it to any of the listed risks when used externally.

Confidence: HIGH
safflower oleosomes
1/10
For a 6–12 month old baby (infant), safflower oleosomes come from safflower and are used as gentle moisturizers. Overall they are low risk when used on small areas of healthy skin, but there are low-level reports of mild irritation and some animal studies showing skin changes at high exposures.

No ingredient-specific hazards were identified in the reviewed data, so there are no real risks flagged for children when used as directed. As with any botanical, if a child has a known plant allergy, test a small area first and stop use if irritation appears.
