Ingredients Analysis (17 found)

Sodium Polyacrylate

⚠️5/10

For babies 6–12 months, sodium polyacrylate is generally low risk when used in products like diapers because it stays in the material and is not easily absorbed through skin. However, there is a contamination concern (a chemical called acrylic acid) and some babies can have sensitive skin, so we take a cautious approach.

Organ Risk - Environment Canada classifies this material as expected to be toxic or harmful to non-reproductive organs and gives it a medium human-health priority. That means repeated or heavy exposure could harm organs (for example liver, kidneys, or lungs).

Irritant - Industry safety reviewers note the ingredient should be used only when formulated to avoid irritation, and the ingredient data flags possible contamination with acrylic acid (a known skin and respiratory irritant). Because of that, products containing it may cause skin redness, itching, or rashes—especially on very sensitive baby skin.

Long-Term Risk - The U.S. FDA records this material for limited uses in food and as a food additive with only limited toxicity data. That means people can get exposed from more than one source (food plus topical products), so small exposures can add up over time and raise longer-term health concern.

Confidence: MEDIUM

Zinc Gluconate

⚠️5/10

Okay for infants (6–12 months) on small spots of healthy skin in baby-focused products. No major red flags at normal skin use, but use lightly.

Banned - EU cosmetic rules restrict how this can be used. A U.S. safety panel also says it is only safe when used within set limits. This means tighter control is needed to keep use safe.

Organ Risk - A Canadian government review flags it as expected to be harmful, and U.S. EPA animal tests found harmful effects at moderate doses. With repeated use, this can stress organs like the liver or kidneys.

Environmental - A national environment agency lists it as a suspected toxin to wildlife, and some data show it can last and build up in nature. This can hurt fish and water life.

Confidence: MEDIUM

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

Disodium EDTA

✅3/10

For infants 6–12 months, Disodium EDTA is usually low risk when used in small amounts in baby lotions and wipes. The biggest issue is that it can irritate the skin or help other ingredients get into the skin faster, which may cause reactions in sensitive babies.

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

Carbomer

✅2/10

For babies 6–12 months old (infants, babies, toddlers under 1 year), carbomer is usually safe when used in small amounts in baby lotions, creams, or wipes. It acts to thicken products and generally stays on the skin. Serious health risks are not expected, but tiny amounts of manufacturing impurities have been reported as a concern.

Confidence: MEDIUM

Copper Gluconate

✅2/10

For babies 6–12 months (older infants), copper gluconate on the skin is usually low risk if used occasionally and on unbroken skin. Some babies with very sensitive skin might react.

Confidence: MEDIUM

Mineral Oil

✅2/10

For babies (infants) 6-12 months old, mineral oil is usually considered low risk when put on normal, unbroken skin and used sparingly. It can help keep skin soft and prevent dryness.

Confidence: MEDIUM

Potassium Cetyl Phosphate

✅2/10

For a 6–12 month old baby, this ingredient is generally low-risk when used in normal baby lotions or wipes. It can very rarely cause mild skin or eye irritation in some people.

No Known Risk - Regulatory safety reviews and lab tests find no health risks above a low level for normal topical use. Tests show only limited, mild skin or eye irritation in some studies and no signs of genetic damage or cancer risk; experts say it is safe in cosmetics when used within set limits. Because no concern was rated above low, there are no real, confirmed risks for typical use on children’s skin.

Confidence: HIGH

Avena Sativa Kernel Oil

✅1/10

For babies 6–12 months old (infants, older babies), oat kernel oil is usually safe when put on the skin. Serious problems are rare and most safety checks find low concern for cancer, allergy, and effects on growth or development.

No Known Risk - Reviews by cosmetic safety experts show only low-level concerns for cancer, allergies, and reproductive effects for oat kernel oil used on skin. The safety panel notes some data gaps and that makers may limit concentration or purity, but no clear hazards at normal topical use were found.

Confidence: HIGH

Caprylyl Glycol

✅1/10

For babies 6–12 months (infants), Caprylyl Glycol is usually low risk when used in small amounts in baby lotions and wipes. It is not thought to cause cancer or long-term harm based on government and industry reviews.

No Known Risk - Government and industry safety reviews found no clear health hazards for skin use. Tests say it is not likely to build up in the body, not persistent in the environment, and not harmful to organs. Industry reviewers do note limits on how much can be used and some data gaps, but overall the ingredient is rated low concern for topical use.

Confidence: MEDIUM

Cetyl Alcohol

✅1/10

For babies 6–12 months (older infants), cetyl alcohol is usually safe in creams and wipes. It helps make lotions feel smooth and is not known to be harmful in the tiny amounts used in baby products. A few babies with very sensitive skin may get a rash.

Confidence: MEDIUM

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

Hydrogenated Palm Glycerides

✅1/10

For babies aged 6–12 months, this ingredient is generally safe to use on the skin. It helps soften and protect skin and has a low recorded risk for health problems in public safety listings.

No Known Risk - A safety assessment of this topical ingredient found only low-level concerns for cancer, allergies/immune effects, reproductive or developmental harm, and use limits. No higher-level risks were identified, so there are no specific health risks flagged for children based on the available review.

Confidence: HIGH

Magnesium Aspartate

✅1/10

For a 6–12 month old baby (infant), magnesium aspartate in skin products is generally low risk when used in baby-friendly formulations. It is not known to cause cancer, fertility or growth problems, and allergic concerns are low.

No Known Risk - Reviewed safety sources show only low-level concerns for cancer, allergies, reproductive effects, and use limits for topical use. A cosmetic ingredient review group notes only routine recommendations (such as limits on concentration or impurities) and did not identify medium or high hazards for skin use, so no real risks were found for children from typical topical use.

Confidence: MEDIUM

Butyrospermum Parkii Butter

✅1/10

Butyrospermum Parkii Shea Butter is a natural moisturizer commonly used in baby products. It is very safe for 6-12 month babies in topical use.

No Known Risk - Shea butter is widely used in baby skincare products and is generally considered safe for topical use. 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 infants. Current research and regulatory guidance do not identify any significant risks for babies when shea butter is used topically.

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.
