Ingredients Analysis (12 found)

Bioflavonoids

⚠️5/10

Bioflavonoids is a vague term covering many compounds with variable safety. Potential phototoxicity and allergenicity exist. Use with caution in baby products.

Irritant - Bioflavonoids is a broad category that includes compounds known to cause allergic reactions or skin irritation in some individuals, especially those with sensitive skin such as infants.

Sun Burn - Certain bioflavonoids can increase photosensitivity, making the skin more prone to sunburn when exposed to sunlight.

Confidence: HIGH

Lactic Acid

⚠️5/10

For babies aged 6-12 months, lactic acid can cause irritation and makes skin absorb more of what it’s mixed with. It is sometimes okay in very low amounts or in rinse-off products, but it's not a good choice for everyday leave-on baby creams.

Banned - This ingredient is restricted in some places and must follow rules about how it is made and used. A Canadian safety list and government guidance limit its use, and industry safety panels set rules on how much can be in products.

Absorbed - This acid can help other things pass through the skin and can get into the body more easily. A safety review paper lists it as a penetration enhancer, so it may raise how much of a product is absorbed.

Sun Burn - Industry safety guidance says it can raise the skin's sensitivity to the sun unless products are made to prevent that or directions tell you to use sun protection.

Confidence: MEDIUM

Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Juice

✅2/10

For babies 6 to 12 months old, aloe vera leaf juice used on the skin is usually safe when it is part of a product made for baby skin and used in small amounts. It helps moisturize and soothe, but a small number of babies may be sensitive.

Confidence: MEDIUM

Calendula Officinalis Flower Extract

✅2/10

For babies 6–12 months (infants), calendula flower extract is usually gentle and used to soothe and moisturize skin. Most babies tolerate it well, but a very small number may get a skin reaction.

No Known Risk - Safety reviews for this calendula flower extract show only low-level concerns for cancer, allergies, and effects on growth/reproduction. Industry safety panels note limits on how much can be used and say some data are missing, but there is no clear evidence of real harm when used on the skin. Some verified product programs restrict its use unless makers provide extra safety information.

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

Matricaria Recutita Flower Extract

✅2/10

For babies 6–12 months (older infants), chamomile (Matricaria recutita) flower extract is usually safe when used on normal, unbroken skin. Most babies won’t have problems, but a small number can get a skin allergy.

No Known Risk - Major safety reviews and a small number of human case reports show only low or unclear concerns. Experts have judged the ingredient safe for topical use when used with normal concentration limits, and reported allergic or nerve-related cases are rare and not clearly linked to the ingredient. Because there is no clear, above-low evidence of harm, no specific risks are flagged.

Confidence: HIGH

Potassium Sorbate

✅2/10

For infants aged 6–12 months, potassium sorbate is a common preservative and is usually safe in small amounts, but it can sometimes cause skin irritation or an allergic skin reaction.

Confidence: HIGH

Arginine

✅1/10

Arginine is an amino acid commonly used in skin creams. For babies aged 6–12 months it is generally safe and has a very low level of concern.

No Known Risk - Government and safety reviews find no health concerns above low for topical arginine. The FDA has designated it safe for certain uses, Environment Canada says it is not expected to be toxic, persistent, or to build up in the body, and the Cosmetic Ingredient Review notes only routine recommendations about concentration and purity. For these reasons, no higher-level risks were identified for typical topical use.

Confidence: HIGH

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

Sodium Chloride

✅1/10

For babies aged 6–12 months (older infants), sodium chloride is basically table salt. In the small amounts used in baby wipes, lotions or saline it is usually safe and well tolerated.

No Known Risk - Regulatory reviews flag no meaningful health hazards for topical use. Food and health authorities list it as safe for limited use, and environmental assessments find it unlikely to harm organs, build up in the body, or damage wildlife. Overall expert sources rate concerns as low across cancer, allergies, development, and use restrictions.

Confidence: HIGH

Sodium Cocoyl Glutamate

✅1/10

For a 6–12 month old baby (older infant), this ingredient is generally safe in rinse-off cleansers and baby shampoos. It’s a mild cleanser and has low concern for cancer, allergies, or growth/reproductive problems.

No Known Risk - Independent cosmetic safety reviewers and a European chemical regulator evaluated this ingredient. They found it safe for use in cosmetics with some limits, said it is not likely to cause cancer, and noted only small, limited signs of eye or skin irritation. No higher-level health concerns were identified.

Confidence: HIGH

Aqua

✅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.
