Ingredients Analysis (22 found)

mica
⚠️4/10
For babies 6–12 months (infants, older babies), mica used in creams or lotions is generally low risk. It’s commonly used for shimmer and is approved for cosmetic use by government agencies. The main concern is dusty powders or loose glitter that a baby could inhale or get in eyes or mouth.
Builds Up - Some scientific records report that mica is persistent and can bioaccumulate in people and wildlife, meaning it does not break down quickly and can collect in the body over time (U.S. National Library of Medicine). Because of that persistence, repeated or long-term exposure could lead to buildup.
Environmental - Mica has been flagged as persistent and bioaccumulative in wildlife in authoritative databases, which means it can stay in the environment and accumulate in animals (U.S. National Library of Medicine). Note that another government review found no strong evidence of toxicity or bioaccumulation, but the presence of data showing persistence in wildlife supports an environmental concern (Environment Canada; U.S. National Library of Medicine).
Confidence: MEDIUM
rosmarinus officinalis leaf extract
⚠️4/10
For babies 6-12 months (infants/toddlers), rosemary leaf extract is usually low risk in small amounts, but it can irritate or cause an allergic skin reaction in some babies, especially those with sensitive or eczema‑prone skin.
Immune system - This rosemary leaf extract is linked to allergic and immune reactions. A European cosmetics safety rule lists strong evidence that it can act as a human allergen, and a U.S. cosmetics review also flagged immune/allergy concerns. That means it can trigger unwanted immune responses in some people.
Irritant - The ingredient has been identified as a human allergen, which can cause skin redness, itching, or contact reactions when applied to the skin. This is supported by the same European safety finding that showed strong evidence of allergenicity.
Eczema - Because it can cause allergic skin reactions, this extract may trigger or make eczema and similar rashes worse in sensitive individuals, as noted by cosmetic safety reviewers who raised immune/allergy concerns.
Confidence: MEDIUM
glyceryl starch
⚠️4/10
Cannot understand what glyceryl starch is it might be a misreading or a typo as it is not a recognized ingredient in topical baby products
Confidence: HIGH
Titanium Dioxide
3/10
For babies 6–12 months (older infants, crawling or teething babies), titanium dioxide in creams and non-spray sunscreens is generally low risk because it stays on the skin surface and is not absorbed. Some health agencies have flagged possible cancer risk when the ingredient is breathed in as very small particles, so that breathing risk—not skin contact—is the main concern.
Confidence: MEDIUM
viola tricolor extract
3/10
For babies 6–12 months old this plant extract is likely low risk when used in small amounts on the skin, but there isn’t much data in babies and some animal studies showed effects on the nervous system and immune system. That means we should be careful.
Confidence: MEDIUM
p-anisic acid
2/10
For a 6–12 month old baby, P-Anisic acid is likely safe in small amounts. Most concerns are low, but there is some limited evidence it can irritate skin, eyes, or lungs and some animal studies show effects only at very high doses.
Confidence: MEDIUM
allantoin
1/10
For babies aged 6–12 months, allantoin is generally safe and soothing when used in small amounts in baby skin products. It is commonly used to calm and protect skin and is not expected to cause serious harm at normal product levels.
No Known Risk - Government and industry safety reviews find no evidence that topical use of this ingredient harms organs, builds up in the body, or damages the environment. Reviewers do note some gaps in the safety data and recommend following concentration limits and proper testing for products, but no real hazards were identified for normal skin use.
Confidence: HIGH
calendula officinalis extract
1/10
For babies 6–12 months (infants), calendula (marigold) flower extract is generally safe and often used to soothe the skin. Serious problems are uncommon, but some babies may be sensitive.
No Known Risk - Reviewed safety information finds low concern for cancer, allergic or immune effects, and developmental or reproductive harms for this topical plant extract. An industry safety panel (Cosmetic Ingredient Review) did note some data gaps and recommends limits on concentration and control of impurities, but no serious hazards were identified for normal skin use. Because formal safety reviews rate the concerns as low, there are no known health risks for typical topical use.
Confidence: HIGH
carthamus tinctorius oleosomes
1/10
For babies (6-12 months), safflower oleosomes are usually safe to use on the skin. They are a natural oil and have a very low safety concern overall. A small number of studies note possible mild irritation or skin changes in lab tests, but serious problems are not expected at normal use levels.
Confidence: HIGH
coco-caprylate
1/10
For babies 6–12 months (infants, little ones): Coco-Caprylate is generally safe. It’s a mild, lightweight moisturizer that most babies tolerate well and is commonly used in baby lotions and wipes.
No Known Risk - A formal cosmetic safety review found this ingredient safe for use in personal care products when used within set limits. That same review noted only limited, unclear evidence that it might cause skin, eye, or lung irritation. No stronger health concerns were identified, so there are no real risks above a low level for children using products that contain this ingredient.
Confidence: HIGH
cocos nucifera oil
1/10
Coconut oil is commonly used in baby care for moisturizing and is generally safe for 6-12 months babies unless allergic
No Known Risk - Coconut oil is widely used topically for babies and is generally considered safe. There is no strong evidence linking it to irritation, allergies, hormone disruption, cancer, or other health risks when used on healthy baby skin. Rare allergic reactions are possible, but not common enough to warrant a risk label based on current research.
Confidence: HIGH
euphorbia cerifera wax
1/10
Candelilla (euphorbia cerifera) wax is a plant wax used to make creams and balms thicker and smoother. For babies 6-12 months old it is usually safe when used on normal, unbroken skin in small amounts.
No Known Risk - Government and industry safety reviews found no hazards that rise above low concern for normal topical use. Reviews classify it as low priority for human health and not expected to harm organs or the environment, so there are no confirmed higher-level risks for typical use.
Confidence: HIGH
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
isoamyl laurate
1/10
Isoamyl laurate is a gentle skin-conditioning ingredient and is considered low risk for babies aged 6–12 months. It is commonly used in creams and lotions to make skin feel soft and smooth. Most experts say it is safe when used as intended, but a small number of people can be sensitive to it.
Confidence: HIGH
levulinic acid
1/10
For a 6–12 month old baby, levulinic acid in small amounts in skin products is generally safe. Reviews by regulatory agencies say it is unlikely to cause cancer or long-term harm and does not build up in the body.
No Known Risk - Official safety reviews and government assessments find low concern for this ingredient. Reviews say it is unlikely to cause cancer, is allowed for limited use in food, is not expected to harm organs, and is not likely to persist or build up in the environment or body. A cosmetic expert review notes safe use when following limits on concentration and impurities. For typical topical use, there are no higher-than-low concerns reported.
Confidence: HIGH
magnesium stearate
1/10
For a 6–12 month old baby (infant), magnesium stearate on the skin is generally very low risk. It’s used in small amounts to help creams and powders feel smooth and stay mixed.
No Known Risk - Government and industry safety reviews say this ingredient poses low concern. The U.S. food agency lists it as safe for limited food use, Environment Canada calls it not expected to be toxic and a low human-health priority, and the cosmetic safety panel reviewed it (with some data gaps). Taken together, these sources show no clear health risks for typical topical use.
Confidence: HIGH
panthenol
1/10
Panthenol is generally safe for babies aged 6–12 months (infants, babies, little ones) when it is used in normal baby creams, lotions or wipes. Most babies tolerate it well and allergic reactions are uncommon.
No Known Risk - Health and regulatory reviews (including Canadian and U.S. assessments and industry safety panels) find panthenol has no reported hazards above a low level for topical use. It is not expected to harm organs, does not appear to build up in the body or the environment, and common concerns (cancer, allergies, reproductive effects) were rated low. There are some industry notes about safe use levels and a few data gaps, but no higher-level health risks were identified.

Based on that information, there are no identified real risks for children from typical topical use.
Confidence: HIGH
polyglyceryl-3 diisostearate
1/10
For babies aged 6–12 months (infants, little ones), this ingredient is low risk. It’s a gentle helper used to keep creams and lotions smooth. Most safety notes say the main issue could be mild irritation to skin or eyes, otherwise other serious concerns are considered low.
No Known Risk - Available safety reviews and screenings report only low-level concerns for cancer, allergies, reproductive effects, and use limits. A cosmetic ingredient review flagged possible skin/eye/lung irritation but said the evidence is unassessed. Taken together, current data show no clear health risk from normal topical use.
Confidence: HIGH
squalane
1/10
