Ingredients Analysis (20 found)

Mentha Piperita Oil

🚫8/10

Peppermint oil can cause skin irritation breathing issues and toxicity in infants not safe for 6-12 months topical use often added for scent

Irritant - Peppermint oil is known to cause skin irritation, redness, and rashes, especially on sensitive baby skin due to its menthol content.

Asthma - The strong menthol vapors from peppermint oil can trigger or worsen breathing issues, including asthma, in sensitive children and infants.

Absorbed - Essential oils like peppermint oil can be absorbed through the skin, and babies have a higher skin absorption rate, increasing systemic exposure.

Confidence: HIGH

Whole Egg Powder

🚨7/10

Whole Egg Powder can cause allergic reactions in babies and is not appropriate for topical use in baby products

Irritant - Whole egg powder can cause skin irritation or allergic reactions, especially in babies with egg allergies or sensitive skin.

Confidence: HIGH

Cymbopogon Citratus Leaf Oil

🚨7/10

Lemongrass oil can cause skin irritation and allergic reactions in infants likely used for fragrance not recommended for babies under 2 years

Irritant - Lemongrass oil contains citral, which is known to cause skin irritation, redness, or rashes, especially on sensitive baby skin.

Eczema - Essential oils like lemongrass can trigger or worsen eczema and similar skin conditions in sensitive individuals, including infants.

Confidence: HIGH

Peppermint Oil

🚨7/10

Peppermint oil can cause skin irritation and respiratory issues in babies 6-12 months. It is not recommended in baby shampoos or body washes due to sensitivity risks.

Confidence: HIGH

Triethanolamine

🚨6/10

For 6–12 month old babies (infants), triethanolamine can irritate skin and sometimes causes allergic reactions. It is more commonly a concern for products that stay on the skin (like lotions) than for products that are washed off.

Immune system - Multiple safety reviews note that triethanolamine shows evidence of immune and allergy effects in people, including reports of immune system or allergy concerns and respiratory allergic reactions (noted by cosmetic safety reviewers and occupational health assessments). This means it can affect the immune response in children who are exposed.

Irritant - A cosmetic safety review found strong evidence that triethanolamine is a human skin toxicant or allergen. That means it can cause skin redness, itching, or rashes—especially on sensitive or young skin.

Asthma - An occupational health review lists triethanolamine as a human respiratory toxicant or allergen, so inhalation or skin exposure may worsen breathing problems or trigger asthma-like responses in sensitive children.

Eczema - Because triethanolamine is reported as a skin allergen/toxicant, it can trigger or worsen eczema and similar skin conditions in babies and children prone to eczema.

Organ Risk - A national environmental agency classifies triethanolamine as expected to be toxic or harmful to non-reproductive organs, and regulatory toxicology notes animal studies showing effects at moderate doses. Repeated or high exposures could harm organs such as the liver or kidneys.

Banned - Cosmetic safety reviews and regional cosmetic rules place limits on how this ingredient may be used and at what concentrations, and some regulations restrict its use in certain products. This means some countries impose legal use or concentration limits.

Cancer - There is a high-listed concern about contamination with nitrosamines (a class of chemicals linked to cancer). While the ingredient itself is not judged likely to cause cancer, the potential for nitrosamine contamination raises a cancer-related risk from impurities.

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

Ceteareth 20

⚠️5/10

For babies 6–12 months (infants), Ceteareth-20 is usually low risk but not ideal. The main issues are possible tiny amounts of impurities and that it can irritate sensitive skin or eyes. Use extra care with young babies.

Cancer - The ingredient assessment lists contamination by ethylene oxide and 1,4-dioxane. Those contaminants are linked to cancer by health authorities, so their presence here is a real cancer concern.

Absorbed - A safety review (Cosmetic Ingredient Review) flags this ingredient as a penetration enhancer. That means it can help other chemicals get through the skin and into the body, raising exposure risk.

Long-Term Risk - Because this ingredient can boost skin absorption and it can be contaminated with harmful chemicals, repeated use could raise health risks over time according to the ingredient assessment and safety review.

Confidence: HIGH

Polyquaternium 7

⚠️5/10

For babies 6–12 months (infants), this ingredient is not considered highly dangerous but needs caution. The main worry is contamination from a chemical called acrylamide and rules about how it is made or used. It’s usually safer when used in rinse-off products like shampoos than in creams that stay on the skin.

Cancer - The ingredient record flags contamination with acrylamide. Acrylamide is a toxic contaminant and its presence in the ingredient raises a real cancer concern reported in the safety record.

Organ Risk - A government assessment listed this polymer as expected to be toxic or harmful to non-reproductive organs, indicating possible harm to organs like liver, kidneys, or lungs with repeated exposure.

Banned - This ingredient is restricted for use in cosmetics under the EU Cosmetics Directive and is limited by industry safety rules, so it may be banned or heavily limited in some countries or products.

Environmental - Government data flagged this substance as a suspected environmental toxin, suggesting it may harm wildlife or ecosystems if released.

Confidence: MEDIUM

Lemongrass Leaf Oil

⚠️5/10

Lemongrass Leaf Oil is a natural essential oil with potential skin irritation risk for babies 6-12 months. Used for fragrance and antimicrobial properties in baby care products.

Confidence: HIGH

Ethylene Glycol Monostearate

⚠️4/10

Cannot confirm safety for babies as ingredient name may be a misreading or typo and not standard in baby care

Irritant - Ethylene Glycol Monostearate can cause mild skin and eye irritation, especially in sensitive individuals, though it is generally considered low risk in typical cosmetic concentrations.

Confidence: LOW

Ethylhexylglycerin

✅3/10

For babies 6–12 months old, this ingredient is usually low risk when used in small amounts in creams and lotions. However, it can sometimes cause skin irritation or a rare allergic reaction, and it can irritate the eyes.

Confidence: HIGH

Lauryl Glucoside

✅3/10

For a baby aged 6–12 months, lauryl glucoside is usually gentle and is commonly used in baby washes and wipes. Most infants do fine with it, but a small number may get skin irritation or an allergic rash.

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

Propanediol

✅3/10

For babies 6–12 months (infant, baby, toddler), propanediol is usually low risk when used at the levels found in baby lotions and wipes. But it can sometimes irritate sensitive skin and can make skin absorb other ingredients more easily, so we remain careful.

Confidence: MEDIUM

Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Juice

✅2/10

For babies 6 to 12 months old, aloe vera leaf juice used on the skin is usually safe when it is part of a product made for baby skin and used in small amounts. It helps moisturize and soothe, but a small number of babies may be sensitive.

Confidence: MEDIUM

Aloe Vera

✅1/10

Organic Aloe Vera is commonly used for soothing skin and is generally safe for babies in topical products

Confidence: HIGH

Cetearyl Alcohol

✅1/10

For babies 6–12 months (older infants), cetearyl alcohol is generally safe. It’s a fatty alcohol that helps moisturizers feel smooth and keeps creams from separating. Most babies tolerate it well.

Confidence: HIGH

Coconut 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

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

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
