Ingredients Analysis (25 found)

Lavandula Angustifolia
🚨6/10
Lavender oil can cause skin irritation and possible hormone effects in infants under 12 months often used for fragrance
Irritant - Lavender oil can cause skin irritation, redness, or rashes, especially on sensitive baby skin, as documented in dermatological studies.
Hormones - Some studies have suggested that topical lavender oil may have hormone-disrupting effects, such as prepubertal gynecomastia in boys, indicating a potential risk for hormone disruption in babies.
Confidence: HIGH
Orange Essential Oil
🚨6/10
Orange oil can cause skin irritation or allergic reactions in infants and contains sensitizing compounds likely used for fragrance
Irritant - Orange oil contains limonene and other citrus compounds that can cause skin irritation, redness, or rashes, especially on sensitive baby skin.
Sun Burn - Orange oil can increase photosensitivity, making skin more prone to sunburn when exposed to sunlight after application.
Confidence: HIGH
Lavender Oil
🚨6/10
For babies aged 6–12 months (infants), lavender oil may be safe in very low amounts in products made for babies, but it can irritate sensitive baby skin and there are a few scientific reports suggesting it might act like a hormone in rare cases. Because babies are still developing, it's safer to avoid putting concentrated lavender essential oil directly on their skin.
Hormones - There are medical case reports and laboratory studies that link topical lavender oil to hormone changes in children, including early breast development and small breast tissue in boys. These findings show the oil can affect normal hormone development in young children.
Confuse Hormones - Research studies found that lavender oil can act like estrogen in lab tests and in reported clinical cases. That means the oil may mimic or confuse the body’s natural hormone signals.
Absorbed - Cases of hormone effects after skin use mean the oil can get through skin and reach the body. Clinical reports showing systemic effects support that topical lavender oil can be absorbed into the bloodstream.
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.
