Ingredients Analysis (24 found)

eugenia caryophyllus flower extract

⚠️5/10

Eugenia caryophyllus flower extract is clove flower extract which may cause skin irritation or sensitization in infants likely used for fragrance

Irritant - Clove flower extract contains eugenol, which is known to cause skin irritation, especially on sensitive or broken skin, and may be too harsh for babies.

Absorbed - Eugenol in clove extract can be absorbed through the skin, and systemic absorption has been documented, raising concerns for infants with immature skin barriers.

Confidence: MEDIUM

methyldihydrojasmonate

⚠️5/10

For infants 6–12 months (baby, infant), this fragrance ingredient is not thought to be highly toxic, but it is known to cause allergic skin reactions in some people. Because baby skin is sensitive, there is a moderate chance of a reaction.

Immune system - This ingredient is listed as a human toxicant/allergen with strong evidence by the EU Cosmetics Directive. That means it can cause allergic reactions and affect the immune response in some children who touch or breathe it.

Irritant - Because it is identified as an allergen by the EU Cosmetics Directive, it can cause skin irritation such as redness, itchiness, or rashes on sensitive baby skin after topical use.

Eczema - The strong allergen classification from the EU Cosmetics Directive means this ingredient can trigger or worsen eczema and similar skin conditions in children who are prone to those issues.

Confidence: MEDIUM

manuka honey

⚠️4/10

For babies 6–12 months, putting manuka honey on the skin is usually low risk but not without concerns. Some people have had allergic skin or severe reactions to honey, there are notes about possible contamination, and because older infants often put things in their mouths there is a risk if they lick the product.

Immune system - There are human case reports of severe allergic reactions (including anaphylaxis) after exposure to manuka honey, and cosmetic safety reviewers list it as associated with allergic effects. That means some children could have a serious immune reaction if their skin or body meets this ingredient.

Eczema - A documented case showed contact urticaria (hives) after skin care use of honey, which shows manuka honey can trigger or worsen eczema and similar skin allergy conditions in sensitive people.

Irritant - Human reports of skin reactions (redness, itching, urticaria) after topical use indicate manuka honey can irritate sensitive baby skin and cause local rash or itch for some users.

Long-Term Risk - Safety notes flag a contamination concern (5‑hydroxymethylfurfural) in honey and industry safety reviewers advise limits or special handling for impurities. Repeated exposure to contaminated material may carry unclear long-term health risks, so caution is advised.

Confidence: MEDIUM

white petrolatum

⚠️4/10

For babies 6 to 12 months, purified white petrolatum is okay to use on small areas as a skin barrier and moisturizer.

Banned - In the EU, this ingredient is restricted unless it is very pure, because it can carry PAH leftovers from oil. This rule comes from the EU Cosmetics Directive.

Organ Risk - Canada’s environmental health agency lists it as expected to be harmful and a high health priority. With repeat use, it may stress organs like the liver.

Builds Up - Studies in people (2015) and in lab rats (2017) found mineral oil parts can collect in body tissues over time. Small daily amounts can add up.

Long-Term Risk - Because it can build up in the body and may carry PAH impurities, risks can grow with years of use. Purity limits in the EU were set to lower this risk.

Confidence: MEDIUM

✅2/10

For babies 6-12 months old (infants), hydrolyzed soy protein used on the skin is generally low risk. Most babies will not have a problem, but soy can cause a skin reaction in some sensitive infants.

No Known Risk - Safety reviews for cocoyl hydrolyzed soy protein report only low-level concerns for cancer, allergies or immune effects, developmental or reproductive effects, and use limits. In other words, current safety data for topical use do not show real health risks.

✅1/10

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.

No Known Risk - Olive oil is generally considered safe for topical use on baby skin, with no strong evidence linking it to irritation, eczema, or other health risks in most infants. While some studies suggest it may worsen eczema in predisposed babies, this is not consistent or proven for the general population. There are no known links to hormone disruption, cancer, organ risk, or other listed risks based on current research.

Confidence: HIGH

phospholipids

✅1/10

For babies 6–12 months (infants, babies), phospholipids are generally safe and used to help moisturize and stabilize creams. Safety reviews show low concern for cancer, allergies, or effects on growth and development when used in normal baby skin products.

No Known Risk - A cosmetic safety review found only low concerns for cancer, allergies, and reproductive effects and noted only use restrictions for manufacturing or purity. For normal topical use, phospholipids are considered low hazard based on that review.

Confidence: HIGH
