Ingredients Analysis (6 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
cacao
✅3/10
Cacao is generally safe topically but may cause mild irritation or allergic reactions in sensitive baby skin. It is likely used for fragrance or antioxidant properties.
No Known Risk - Cacao used topically has no documented evidence of causing harm or risks to babies based on current research. It is generally considered safe and does not exhibit properties linked to hormone disruption, irritation, or other listed risks.
Confidence: HIGH
titanium dioxide
✅3/10
For babies 6–12 months (older infants, crawling or teething babies), titanium dioxide in creams and non-spray sunscreens is generally low risk because it stays on the skin surface and is not absorbed. Some health agencies have flagged possible cancer risk when the ingredient is breathed in as very small particles, so that breathing risk—not skin contact—is the main concern.
Confidence: MEDIUM
avocado
✅1/10
Avocado is generally safe for baby skin and is used for moisturizing and soothing properties in baby care products
No Known Risk - Avocado is generally considered safe for topical use on baby skin, with no evidence linking it to irritation, hormone disruption, or other health risks in babies. There are no known studies or reports of adverse effects when used topically, so it is considered low risk based on current research.
Confidence: HIGH
butter
✅1/10
Butter is generally safe topically for babies 6-12 months as it is a natural fat and moisturizer with low risk of irritation or toxicity in baby care products.
No Known Risk - Butter is a natural dairy product commonly used in topical applications with no evidence of causing harm to babies. It does not contain harmful chemicals or substances linked to the listed risks based on current research.
Confidence: HIGH
cacao butter
✅1/10
Theobroma cacao seed butter is cocoa butter commonly used as a skin moisturizer and is generally safe for baby skin
No Known Risk - Cocoa butter is widely used in baby products and is generally considered safe for topical use on baby skin. There is no strong evidence linking it to irritation, allergies, hormone disruption, or other health risks in babies. Rare allergic reactions may occur, but these are uncommon and not specific to cocoa butter itself. Current research and regulatory guidance do not identify cocoa butter as a risk for babies.
Confidence: HIGH
