Ingredients Analysis (15 found)

Benzyl Alcohol

⚠️5/10

For babies 6–12 months (infants), benzyl alcohol can cause skin irritation and allergic reactions. It’s not as risky as for newborns, but it isn’t completely risk-free for this age.

Immune system - Benzyl alcohol is a known human allergen with strong evidence of immune effects. Regulators and scientific reviews list it as an allergenic or immunotoxicant and there are human case reports of allergic reactions, so it can trigger immune responses in children.

Eczema - There are strong reports and regulatory listings showing benzyl alcohol can cause allergic skin reactions. Because of this, it can trigger or make eczema and similar rashes worse on sensitive baby skin.

Irritant - There is documented evidence of skin and eye irritation from benzyl alcohol (including agency evaluations of irritation), so it can cause redness, stinging, or rashes—especially on sensitive or infant skin.

Organ Risk - Government hazard classifications and peer-reviewed sources have identified benzyl alcohol as toxic or harmful to organ systems at some exposures. These classifications indicate repeated or higher exposures could affect organs (for example liver or kidneys).

Confidence: MEDIUM

Water

⚠️5/10

Water is safe for baby skin and is used as a solvent or base in most baby care products

Confidence: HIGH

Sodium Hydroxide

⚠️4/10

For infants 6–12 months (older babies and crawlers), sodium hydroxide in tiny, well-formulated amounts used only to adjust product pH is usually low risk. It is dangerous if present in concentrated form or if a product is not made to avoid irritation.

Banned - This ingredient is restricted for use in cosmetics in some regions. The EU cosmetics rules list limits on its use, and industry safety reviewers say it can only be used safely at certain low concentrations or when specially handled.

Organ Risk - Authorities have flagged possible harm to organs with repeated or high exposures. A national health agency classified it as expected to be toxic or harmful and gave it a medium human-health priority, and a U.S. assessment found toxic effects in animal studies. There is also limited evidence of breathing-related toxicity noted by a medical literature source.

Asthma - There is limited evidence that breathing in this chemical can hurt the lungs or airways. Medical literature notes possible respiratory toxicity, so it could make breathing problems worse if a child is exposed to vapor or mist.

Confidence: HIGH

Isononanoate

⚠️4/10

Confidence: HIGH

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

Dehydroacetic Acid

✅2/10

For babies 6–12 months old, dehydroacetic acid (a preservative) is generally low risk in the tiny amounts used in baby skincare. Most infants tolerate it well, but some babies with very sensitive skin can get mild irritation or a rash.

Confidence: HIGH

Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride

✅1/10

For babies 6–12 months old, this ingredient is generally safe. It is a mild, lightweight oil used to soften skin and is unlikely to cause irritation or health harm when used in normal baby creams or wipes.

Confidence: HIGH

Colloidal Oatmeal

✅1/10

For babies 6–12 months old, colloidal oatmeal used on the skin is generally safe and often helps calm dry, itchy, or irritated skin. The available safety information shows very low concerns for long-term harms.

No Known Risk - The ingredient's safety review shows only low-level concerns for cancer, allergies or immune effects, developmental/reproductive harm, and use limits. No hazards above low were identified for topical use in the available review, so no significant health risks were found.

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

Isopropyl Glyceryl Stearate

✅1/10

Isopropyl Glyceryl Stearate is an emollient and emulsifier commonly used in baby products. It is generally safe and non-irritating for babies 6-12 months old.

No Known Risk - Isopropyl Glyceryl Stearate is a common emollient and emulsifier used in topical products with no documented evidence of hormone disruption, organ toxicity, or other risks in babies based on current scientific literature and safety assessments.

Confidence: HIGH

Shea Butter

✅1/10

Butyrospermum Parkii Shea Butter is a natural moisturizer commonly used in baby products. It is very safe for 6-12 month babies in topical use.

No Known Risk - Shea butter is widely used in baby skincare products and is generally considered safe for topical use. There is no strong evidence linking it to irritation, allergies, hormone disruption, or other health risks in babies. Rare allergic reactions may occur, but these are uncommon and not specific to infants. Current research and regulatory guidance do not identify any significant risks for babies when shea butter is used topically.

Confidence: HIGH

Tapioca Starch

✅1/10

For infants and babies 6–12 months old, tapioca starch is usually safe on the skin. It’s a common plant-based powder used to absorb moisture and thicken products. Overall health risks are low.

Confidence: HIGH

Avena Sativa

✅1/10

For babies 6-12 months old (infant, baby), oat extract is usually safe on the skin and often used to calm dry or sensitive skin. Most expert reviews find only low concerns.

No Known Risk - Available safety reviews note only low-level concerns (small risk of allergic reaction and some limits on how it can be used) and say the ingredient is safe for skin products when used within set limits. No higher-risk findings were identified.

Confidence: HIGH

Aqua

✅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.
