Ingredients Analysis (23 found)

Ceteareth-20

⚠️5/10

For babies 6–12 months (infants), Ceteareth-20 is usually low risk but not ideal. The main issues are possible tiny amounts of impurities and that it can irritate sensitive skin or eyes. Use extra care with young babies.

Cancer - The ingredient assessment lists contamination by ethylene oxide and 1,4-dioxane. Those contaminants are linked to cancer by health authorities, so their presence here is a real cancer concern.

Absorbed - A safety review (Cosmetic Ingredient Review) flags this ingredient as a penetration enhancer. That means it can help other chemicals get through the skin and into the body, raising exposure risk.

Long-Term Risk - Because this ingredient can boost skin absorption and it can be contaminated with harmful chemicals, repeated use could raise health risks over time according to the ingredient assessment and safety review.

Confidence: HIGH

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

PEG-7 Glyceryl Cocoate

⚠️5/10

For babies 6–12 months old: the ingredient itself is usually considered low-risk, but tests flag possible contamination and it can help other chemicals get into skin. Because babies absorb more through their skin, I recommend caution.

Cancer - This ingredient can be contaminated with tiny amounts of ethylene oxide and 1,4‑dioxane. Public health authorities list those chemicals as carcinogenic or likely carcinogenic, so their presence as contaminants raises a cancer concern even at low levels.

Absorbed - An industry safety review notes this ingredient can act as a skin penetration enhancer. That means it can help other chemicals (including any contaminants) get through baby skin and into the body.

Long-Term Risk - Because of the contamination risk with chemicals linked to cancer and because safety assessments rely on limited data and related chemicals, there is a real worry about possible harms from repeated, long‑term use.

Organ Risk - One of the contaminants noted (1,4‑dioxane) has been linked by regulators to liver and kidney effects in animal studies, so contamination could pose a risk to organs with repeated exposure.

Confidence: MEDIUM

Dimethicone

✅3/10

For babies 6–12 months old, dimethicone is commonly used in baby creams and ointments and is usually safe when used a little at a time on normal, unbroken skin. It rarely causes skin allergy and is often chosen for diaper creams and moisturizers.

Confidence: MEDIUM

PEG-40 Hydrogenated Castor Oil

✅3/10

For babies 6–12 months old (older infants), this ingredient is usually low risk and often used in wipes, lotions and creams to help oils mix in. The main worry is not the ingredient itself but possible small amounts of harmful manufacturing leftovers (called ethylene oxide and 1,4‑dioxane).

Confidence: HIGH

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.
