Ingredients Analysis (16 found)

fragrance

⚠️5/10

Perfume can cause skin irritation or allergic reactions in babies 6-12 months. It is used to provide fragrance in baby care products but should be used with caution.

Irritant - Fragrance mixtures often contain chemicals that can cause skin irritation, redness, or rashes, especially on sensitive baby skin.

Eczema - Fragrances are known triggers for eczema flare-ups and can worsen symptoms in babies with sensitive or atopic skin.

Asthma - Fragrance chemicals can release volatile organic compounds (VOCs) that may worsen asthma or breathing issues in babies and children.

Hormones - Some fragrance ingredients, such as certain phthalates, are suspected endocrine disruptors that may interfere with hormone development.

Absorbed - Certain fragrance chemicals can be absorbed through the skin and detected in the bloodstream, raising concerns for systemic exposure.

Breast Milk - Some fragrance components, including phthalates, have been detected in breast milk, indicating they can pass from mother to baby.

Banned - Some fragrance ingredients are banned or restricted in the EU and other countries due to health concerns.

Builds Up - Certain fragrance chemicals, such as some phthalates and musks, can accumulate in the body over time with repeated exposure.

Long-Term Risk - Long-term exposure to some fragrance chemicals has been linked to chronic health effects, including hormone disruption and allergic diseases.

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

hydrolyzed casein

✅3/10

For babies 6–12 months (infants), hydrolyzed casein is low risk for most children. It is a protein from milk used to condition skin. Most healthy babies are unlikely to have problems, but because it comes from milk there is a small risk for babies who are allergic to cow’s milk.

No Known Risk - Government and industry safety reviews do not find clear harms. A Canadian health assessment says this ingredient is not expected to be toxic, and an environmental review says it is not suspected to be an environmental toxin. An industry safety panel notes only that safe use can depend on how the ingredient is made and used. All common health concerns (cancer, allergies, developmental harm, and use limits) were rated low, so no risks above low were identified.

Confidence: MEDIUM

peg-150 distearate

✅3/10

For babies 6 to 12 months old, this ingredient is usually safe in small amounts in skin products. The main worry is tiny traces of manufacturing impurities, not the ingredient itself.

Confidence: MEDIUM

peg-80 sorbitan laurate

✅3/10

For babies aged 6–12 months this ingredient is generally low risk when used in normal baby products. However, it can cause skin reactions in some children and there are concerns about manufacturing impurities, so extra caution is reasonable.

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

tocopheryl acetate

✅3/10

Usually fine for most 6–12 month old babies when used sparingly on healthy skin. The main worry is a possible skin rash in sensitive babies.

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

cocamidopropyl hydroxysultaine

✅2/10

For babies 6–12 months old, this is usually a gentle cleansing ingredient found in shampoos and washes. Most babies tolerate it well when it is in a product you rinse off. There is low concern for cancer or long-term harm, but some reports show it can irritate eyes or sensitive skin and there are manufacturing impurities that are a higher concern.

Confidence: MEDIUM

sodium dehydroacetate

✅2/10

For babies aged 6–12 months this ingredient is usually low risk when used in small amounts in products made for skin. It acts as a preservative to stop germs from growing.

Confidence: MEDIUM

glycol stearate

✅1/10

Glycol stearate is usually safe for babies aged 6–12 months when it’s in products made for infants. It works as a texture and moisturizing helper and most safety flags are low.

Confidence: HIGH

panthenol

✅1/10

Panthenol is generally safe for babies aged 6–12 months (infants, babies, little ones) when it is used in normal baby creams, lotions or wipes. Most babies tolerate it well and allergic reactions are uncommon.

No Known Risk - Health and regulatory reviews (including Canadian and U.S. assessments and industry safety panels) find panthenol has no reported hazards above a low level for topical use. It is not expected to harm organs, does not appear to build up in the body or the environment, and common concerns (cancer, allergies, reproductive effects) were rated low. There are some industry notes about safe use levels and a few data gaps, but no higher-level health risks were identified.

Confidence: HIGH

polyquaternium-11

✅1/10

For babies aged 6–12 months this ingredient is generally considered low risk when used on the skin. Public and regulatory reviews describe it as unlikely to cause long-term harm, but the safety checks rely on how much is used in the product and there isn’t a lot of independent data.

No Known Risk - A government review found this ingredient is not expected to be toxic to organs, and it is not likely to build up in the body or harm the environment. An industry safety panel notes limits on how it is used and some gaps in data, but no higher-level health concerns (like cancer, hormone or developmental risks) were identified. Based on those reviews, there are no known health risks above low concern.

Confidence: LOW

sodium cocoyl isethionate

✅1/10

For babies 6–12 months old this ingredient is considered low risk and is commonly used in gentle cleansers. It is safest when used in products you rinse off, like baby wash or shampoo.

No Known Risk - Reviews by a cosmetic safety review panel and a national environment agency found no significant health hazards. The ingredient is not thought to build up in the body or harm organs, and it is considered safe in products when used at the allowed levels (with different limits for rinse-off versus leave-on products). There are some notes about possible mild irritation and that safety limits are set, but overall no real health risks were identified.

Confidence: MEDIUM

ethyl-hexylglycerin

✅1/10

Ethyl-hexylglycerin is a common preservative and skin conditioning agent considered very safe for topical use in baby products including shampoo and bodywash for 6-12 month olds.

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.
