Ingredients Analysis (8 found)

BHT

🚨6/10

BHT is a synthetic antioxidant with limited safety data for infants topical use may cause irritation or absorption concerns used to prevent product oxidation

Irritant - Butylated Hydroxytoluene (BHT) can cause skin irritation, especially on sensitive or compromised skin, and is not recommended for use on infants' delicate skin.

Cancer - Some animal studies have suggested a possible link between BHT and cancer risk, though evidence in humans is limited; caution is advised for vulnerable populations like infants.

Hormones - BHT has shown weak endocrine-disrupting activity in some laboratory studies, raising concerns about potential hormone disruption in developing children.

Absorbed - BHT can be absorbed through the skin, especially with repeated topical use, potentially leading to systemic exposure in babies.

Builds Up - BHT is a fat-soluble compound that can accumulate in body tissues over time with repeated exposure.

Long-Term Risk - Due to its potential for accumulation and links to organ toxicity and other effects in animal studies, there are concerns about long-term health risks from repeated exposure.

Confidence: HIGH

Parfum

⚠️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

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.

Confidence: MEDIUM

Phenoxyethanol

✅3/10

For babies 6–12 months old (infants and older babies), phenoxyethanol in lotions or wipes is usually low risk when the product is made for babies and the preservative is used at low levels. It can still irritate the skin or eyes in some babies, and very rarely cause an allergic reaction.

Confidence: MEDIUM

Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Extract

✅2/10

For a 6-12 month old baby, aloe leaf extract is usually safe on the skin when it comes from products made for babies. It helps soothe and moisturize, but a small number of infants may develop irritation or an allergic reaction.

Confidence: MEDIUM

Lanolin

✅2/10

Lanolin is generally safe for babies but may cause allergic reactions in some sensitive infants used as a moisturizer or skin protectant

Confidence: HIGH

Zinc Oxide

✅1/10
