Ingredients Analysis (21 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
Organic Lavender Flower Extract
✅3/10
For a 6-12 month old baby (infant), lavender flower extract is usually low risk in small amounts in baby skincare, but some babies can get skin redness or an allergic reaction.
No Known Risk - The ingredient record shows only low-level concerns for cancer, allergies/immune effects, and developmental or reproductive effects with topical use, and no higher-level hazards were found. It is sometimes restricted by product-verification programs unless supported by extra safety data, but this is not a direct health danger for typical use on skin. Based on the available information, there are no real risks identified for children from normal topical use.
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
Dehydroacetic Acid
✅2/10
