Ingredients Analysis (15 found)

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
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
Acrylates Copolymer
✅2/10
Acrylates Copolymer is usually low risk for babies 6–12 months old. It is used to help products form a thin film on skin. Most of the worry about it comes from possible tiny contaminants and from products that can irritate sensitive skin if not made carefully.
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
Cocamidopropyl Hydroxysultaine
✅2/10
For babies 6–12 months old, this is usually a gentle cleansing ingredient found in shampoos and washes. Most babies tolerate it well when it is in a product you rinse off. There is low concern for cancer or long-term harm, but some reports show it can irritate eyes or sensitive skin and there are manufacturing impurities that are a higher concern.
Confidence: MEDIUM
Dipotassium Glycyrrhizate
✅2/10
For infants aged 6–12 months (babies, toddlers under 1 year), this licorice-derived ingredient is usually low risk when it is in products made for babies at small amounts. It helps calm and soothe skin and is not known to be strongly irritating at the low levels used.
No Known Risk - Available safety reviews report only low-level concerns and find the ingredient safe for skin use when kept at low concentrations and with limits on impurities. The industry safety panel also assumes low skin absorption. The provided data does not show any higher-level risks (like harm to organs, hormones, brain development, cancer, or asthma) for normal topical use.
Confidence: MEDIUM
Sodium Lauroyl Glucosides Hydroxypropylsulfonate
✅2/10
Sodium Lauroyl Glucosides Hydroxypropylsulfonate is a mild surfactant used in baby shampoos and bodywashes. It is generally safe with minor irritation risk for 6-12 month babies.
No Known Risk - Sodium Lauroyl Glucosides Hydroxypropylsulfonate is considered a mild, non-irritating surfactant derived from natural sources. There is no evidence in current research linking it to irritation, allergies, hormone disruption, cancer, or other health risks in babies when used topically.
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
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.
Confidence: HIGH
Sodium Chloride
✅1/10
For babies aged 6–12 months (older infants), sodium chloride is basically table salt. In the small amounts used in baby wipes, lotions or saline it is usually safe and well tolerated.
No Known Risk - Regulatory reviews flag no meaningful health hazards for topical use. Food and health authorities list it as safe for limited use, and environmental assessments find it unlikely to harm organs, build up in the body, or damage wildlife. Overall expert sources rate concerns as low across cancer, allergies, development, and use restrictions.
Confidence: HIGH
Sodium Lauroyl Methyl Isethionate
✅1/10
For babies 6–12 months (infants), this is a mild cleanser commonly used in baby washes and wipes. It is generally safe and low risk when used in products made for infants.
No Known Risk - A formal cosmetic safety review found this ingredient safe for use in personal care products when used within set concentration or use limits. The only flagged issues are low-level concerns about possible skin/eye/lung irritation and the need for use limits; no higher concerns (like cancer, hormone disruption, or developmental harm) were identified above a low level. Some product standards still limit its use unless makers supply safety data.
Confidence: MEDIUM
Pyrus Malus Apple Fruit Extract
✅1/10
Apple Fruit Extract is a natural, plant-based ingredient and is usually safe for infants 6-12 months when it’s in products made for babies. The chance of harm is low, but a small risk of irritation or eye irritation has been reported.
No Known Risk - Independent cosmetic safety reviewers have judged apple fruit extract safe for use on skin when it is formulated correctly and kept at normal concentrations. Some limited tests note mild eye or skin irritation at high doses, but these findings are rare and do not show clear harm to growth, hormones, or cancer risk. For normal topical use, there are no confirmed, meaningful risks for children.
Confidence: HIGH
Guar Hydroxypropyltrimonium Chloride
✅1/10
Guar Hydroxypropyltrimonium Chloride is a modified guar gum used as a conditioning agent in shampoos and bodywashes. It is very safe for babies 6-12 months in topical use.
Confidence: HIGH
Aqua
✅0/10
Aqua is water used as a solvent in baby products. It is very safe and essential for formulation with no known risks for 6-12 month babies.
No Known Risk - Aqua (water) is an inert solvent/vehicle in topical formulations with no evidence of inherent toxicity, hormone disruption, carcinogenicity, bioaccumulation, or organ damage in infants. It is not a known skin sensitizer or asthma trigger. Any risk would come from contaminants or other formulation ingredients rather than the water itself, so as used in properly manufactured baby products it poses no known intrinsic risk for 6–12 month old babies.
Confidence: HIGH
Water
✅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.
Confidence: HIGH
