Ingredients Analysis (20 found)

melatonin
🚨6/10
For infants 6–12 months (baby, infant), melatonin applied to the skin is not well studied. Overall ingredient reviews show low concern for cancer or allergies, but because melatonin is a hormone and babies absorb things differently, it's best to be careful.
No Known Risk - The supplied safety information shows only low-level concerns (for cancer, allergies/immune effects, and developmental or reproductive effects) for topical melatonin and lists no higher-level or specific risks. For topical use, no clear hazards to a child’s hormones, organs, breathing, or long-term health were identified in the provided data.
Confidence: HIGH
sodium laureth sulfate
🚨6/10
For a 6–12 month old baby, this ingredient is a cleansing agent that can irritate sensitive skin or eyes and may carry tiny amounts of manufacturing impurities. It’s not banned, but it’s not the gentlest choice for infants.
Irritant - A formal safety review (Cosmetic Ingredient Review) found strong evidence that this ingredient can irritate skin, eyes, and lungs in people. That means babies or children may get redness, stinging, or sore eyes if exposed.
Organ Risk - A government health assessment (Environment Canada) classifies this ingredient as likely to be harmful to body organs with a medium human-health priority. Repeated or heavy exposure could affect organs like the liver or kidneys.
Cancer - Safety checks flag the ingredient for contamination by ethylene oxide and 1,4‑dioxane. These contaminants are known cancer-linked chemicals in regulatory and safety assessments, so contamination raises a cancer concern if present.
Confidence: MEDIUM
parfum
🚨6/10
Parfum is a fragrance mix that can cause irritation or allergic reactions in babies 6-12 months old. It is common in shampoos and bodywashes for scent.
Confidence: HIGH
cocamidopropyl betaine
⚠️5/10
For babies 6–12 months old (infants, babies, little ones), this ingredient is commonly used in baby washes and shampoos and is generally okay when it is rinsed off. There are higher concerns about impurities and possible skin reactions, so caution is advised.
Immune system - Cosmetic safety reviews (Cosmetic Ingredient Review and draft safety reports) report limited evidence that cocamidopropyl betaine can sensitize skin or trigger allergic reactions. That means it can affect the immune system in some people, especially those with sensitive skin.
Irritant - Industry safety assessments note limited evidence of skin sensitization and explicitly warn the ingredient may be unsafe in products left on the skin (not rinsed off). This shows it can cause redness, itching, or irritation for some users.
Eczema - Safety panels and reports observed cases of sensitization and recommend limits on use and product types. Because it can provoke skin reactions, it may trigger or worsen eczema in sensitive children.
Cancer - Regulatory and industry reviews flag contamination concerns for this ingredient, including nitrosamines and related amines. Nitrosamines are known to be carcinogenic, so impurity risks raise a cancer concern unless impurities are controlled as industry reviewers recommend.
Banned - Expert panels and tentative regulatory reports recommend use, concentration, and manufacturing restrictions for this ingredient and note it is unsafe in some product types (leave-on). While not universally banned, it is subject to regulatory or industry limits in some contexts.
Environmental - A national environmental agency (Environment Canada) flagged this ingredient as a suspected environmental toxin, indicating possible harm to ecosystems if released into the environment.
Confidence: HIGH
fragrance
⚠️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
aqua
⚠️5/10
Aqua is water used as a solvent in baby shampoos and bodywashes. It is very safe and essential for formulation.
Confidence: HIGH
eau
⚠️5/10
Eau is water in French and is safe for topical use in baby products like shampoo and bodywash. It is a common solvent and poses no risk.
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
tetrasodium edta
⚠️4/10
For a 6–12 month old infant, this ingredient is usually low risk for long-term harm when used in small amounts in baby wipes, lotions or shampoos. However, it can irritate skin and eyes and may help other ingredients get into the skin more easily, so extra care is wise for babies.
Irritant - This ingredient is officially classed as an irritant by the EU GHS hazard codes. That means it can cause skin or eye redness, itch, or breathing irritation if it touches skin or is breathed in.
Organ Risk - Environment Canada lists this chemical as expected to be toxic or harmful to non-reproductive body systems and gives it a medium human-health priority. That signals a real risk of harm to organs (for example liver or kidneys) with harmful exposures.
Absorbed - A cosmetic safety panel (Cosmetic Ingredient Review) identifies this ingredient as a penetration enhancer. That means it can help other substances, and itself, get through the skin into the body.
Long-Term Risk - Workplace limits and the medium health-priority classification (reported by regulators) indicate caution for repeated or long-term exposure. Those findings suggest possible health effects after years of exposure.
Confidence: HIGH
peg-150 distearate
✅3/10
For babies 6 to 12 months old, this ingredient is usually safe in small amounts in skin products. The main worry is tiny traces of manufacturing impurities, not the ingredient itself.
Confidence: MEDIUM
tocopheryl acetate
✅3/10
Usually fine for most 6–12 month old babies when used sparingly on healthy skin. The main worry is a possible skin rash in sensitive babies.
Confidence: MEDIUM
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
cocamidopropylamine oxide
✅2/10
For babies aged 6–12 months, this is usually safe when used in rinse-off products like baby shampoo or body wash. It is a gentle cleanser, but there are some concerns about possible contamination and limits on how it’s used in products.
Confidence: MEDIUM
ormenis multicaulis extract
✅2/10
For babies 6–12 months (infants), this chamomile-type extract is generally low risk when used on small areas of intact skin. There is limited data specifically in young babies, so we remain cautious.
Confidence: MEDIUM
potassium sorbate
✅2/10
For infants aged 6–12 months, potassium sorbate is a common preservative and is usually safe in small amounts, but it can sometimes cause skin irritation or an allergic skin reaction.
Confidence: HIGH
sodium benzoate
✅2/10
For babies 6–12 months old, sodium benzoate in small amounts is generally low risk when used in skin products. Babies this age handle it better than newborns, but it may irritate very sensitive or broken skin.
Confidence: MEDIUM
vitamin e
✅2/10
For babies 6–12 months (older infants), topical Vitamin E is usually safe when used in small amounts from trusted products. It can help keep skin soft but rarely causes irritation. There is a reported risk if the ingredient is contaminated with a chemical called hydroquinone, and some studies flag possible effects on hormones at high doses.
Confidence: MEDIUM
chamomile
✅1/10
Matricaria Chamomilla is chamomile extract commonly used for soothing skin and is generally safe for babies in topical products
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
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.
