Ingredients Analysis (24 found)

CI 47005 D C Yellow No 10

🚫8/10

For a 6–12 month old baby (infant), this synthetic yellow dye is best avoided. There are reports of impurities (like heavy metals), some evidence of hormone-related activity, and occasional allergic or nervous system reactions. Regulators place limits on how it can be used, and it is not allowed around the eyes.

Immune system - A scientific re-evaluation report and case studies found people had immune or allergic reactions to this dye. That report specifically notes human cases of allergic or immune effects, so it can trigger immune responses in some users.

Eczema - Human case reports in the scientific re-evaluation noted allergic skin reactions. That means this ingredient can worsen or trigger eczema and related rashes in sensitive children.

Brain Development - Case studies and a scientific opinion report describe possible nervous-system effects in people exposed to this dye. Because of those reports, there is concern about effects on the developing brain with exposure.

Organ Risk - The ingredient record flags contamination concerns including heavy metals and industrial contaminants (for example cadmium and aniline). These contaminants are known to harm organs like the liver and kidneys with repeated exposure, so contaminated batches pose organ risk.

Absorbed - This color is used on skin and the ingredient notes call out enhanced skin absorption. That means some of the chemical (and any contaminants) can get through baby or child skin and enter the body.

Banned - Regulators restrict how this color can be used. For example, a major national regulator does not approve it for cosmetics around the eyes and enforces concentration/usage limits. Those official rules mean it is restricted or banned for certain uses.

Confidence: HIGH

Limonene

🚨6/10

For infants 6–12 months (older baby, crawling baby): limonene can cause skin irritation or allergic reactions. It’s more risky for babies than for older children or adults because their skin is thinner and they get more exposure relative to their size.

Immune system - This ingredient is listed as a known human allergen and has multiple regulatory flags for immune-system effects (EU cosmetics and hazard labeling rules, and US regulatory listings). That means it can trigger allergic reactions or other immune effects in some people, including children.

Eczema - Experts and regulatory lists identify this chemical as a skin allergen and sensitizer (EU hazard and cosmetics notices). For babies or kids with sensitive skin or a history of eczema, it can trigger or worsen rash and contact dermatitis.

Irritant - Hazard classifications name this ingredient as a skin and general irritant (EU GHS hazard codes). It can cause redness, stinging, or eye and lung irritation if it touches or is breathed in.

Cancer - The ingredient record flags contamination concerns with formaldehyde. Formaldehyde is classified as a carcinogen by international cancer authorities, so contamination raises a potential cancer-related risk if present.

Builds Up - Some environmental assessments and peer-reviewed studies list this chemical as persistent and bioaccumulative in wildlife (OSPAR and scientific literature), meaning it can build up in the environment and animals over time.

Environmental - Regulatory hazard listings and ecological reviews note possible harm to wildlife and the environment (EU hazard codes and environmental assessments). This means its release or repeated use can be harmful to ecosystems.

Confidence: HIGH

Linalool

🚨6/10

Linalool is a fragrance ingredient that can cause skin allergies in some people. For babies (6–12 months) it can irritate or trigger allergic rashes, so it’s better to avoid it on baby skin when possible.

Immune system - This ingredient is listed as a known human allergen and a possible immune-system toxicant in official cosmetic safety reviews (European cosmetics rules) and is flagged with strong evidence by the U.S. regulator. That means it can trigger allergic reactions or immune responses in some children.

Irritant - Official cosmetic guidance requires labeling for this ingredient because it can cause allergic skin reactions. The safety reviews identify it as a human allergen, so it can cause redness, itching, or rashes on sensitive baby skin.

Eczema - Because this ingredient is a known allergen and can provoke skin reactions, it may trigger or make eczema and similar skin conditions worse in susceptible children.

Cancer - A contamination concern was specifically flagged for formaldehyde being associated with this ingredient. Formaldehyde is recognized in safety summaries as a harmful contaminant linked to cancer risk, so contamination raises a cancer-related concern.

Confidence: HIGH

Benzyl Alcohol

⚠️5/10

For babies 6–12 months (infants), benzyl alcohol can cause skin irritation and allergic reactions. It’s not as risky as for newborns, but it isn’t completely risk-free for this age.

Immune system - Benzyl alcohol is a known human allergen with strong evidence of immune effects. Regulators and scientific reviews list it as an allergenic or immunotoxicant and there are human case reports of allergic reactions, so it can trigger immune responses in children.

Eczema - There are strong reports and regulatory listings showing benzyl alcohol can cause allergic skin reactions. Because of this, it can trigger or make eczema and similar rashes worse on sensitive baby skin.

Irritant - There is documented evidence of skin and eye irritation from benzyl alcohol (including agency evaluations of irritation), so it can cause redness, stinging, or rashes—especially on sensitive or infant skin.

Organ Risk - Government hazard classifications and peer-reviewed sources have identified benzyl alcohol as toxic or harmful to organ systems at some exposures. These classifications indicate repeated or higher exposures could affect organs (for example liver or kidneys).

Confidence: MEDIUM

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.

Confidence: HIGH

Sodium C14-16 Olefin Sulfonate

⚠️5/10

For babies 6–12 months old, this is a strong soap-like ingredient used to make bubbles and remove dirt. Most health data show low long-term toxicity, but because it can dry or irritate delicate baby skin and there are some impurity concerns, it should be treated with caution.

Organ Risk - Environment Canada lists this ingredient as “expected to be toxic or harmful” to non-reproductive organs and gives it a medium human-health priority. That means repeated or high exposures could hurt organs (for example liver, kidneys, or lungs). The regulatory review named in the ingredient file is the source of this concern (Environment Canada).

Cancer - The ingredient file flags contamination concerns, specifically the impurity gamma‑sultone, and the industry safety review (Cosmetic Ingredient Review, CIR) recommends limits on impurities. Impurities like gamma‑sultone can raise cancer-related worries, so this is a moderate contamination-linked cancer risk to be aware of.

Long-Term Risk - The same reviews note this ingredient is a medium human-health priority and that safety conclusions depend on concentration and use. The CIR also notes data gaps and concentration limits in its safety assessment. Together, these findings point to possible long-term health risks with repeated or high exposures.

Confidence: HIGH

Parfum 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

Sodium Hydroxide

⚠️4/10

For infants 6–12 months (older babies and crawlers), sodium hydroxide in tiny, well-formulated amounts used only to adjust product pH is usually low risk. It is dangerous if present in concentrated form or if a product is not made to avoid irritation.

Banned - This ingredient is restricted for use in cosmetics in some regions. The EU cosmetics rules list limits on its use, and industry safety reviewers say it can only be used safely at certain low concentrations or when specially handled.

Organ Risk - Authorities have flagged possible harm to organs with repeated or high exposures. A national health agency classified it as expected to be toxic or harmful and gave it a medium human-health priority, and a U.S. assessment found toxic effects in animal studies. There is also limited evidence of breathing-related toxicity noted by a medical literature source.

Asthma - There is limited evidence that breathing in this chemical can hurt the lungs or airways. Medical literature notes possible respiratory toxicity, so it could make breathing problems worse if a child is exposed to vapor or mist.

Confidence: HIGH

Dimethyl Lauramide Myristamide

⚠️4/10

Cannot understand what Dimethyl Lauramide Myristamide is it might be a misreading or a typo not a recognized ingredient in baby products

Confidence: HIGH

Chamomilla Recutita Flower Extract

✅3/10

For babies 6–12 months old, chamomile flower extract is usually safe when it’s in products made for infants. It’s often used to soothe skin, but a small number of people can have an allergy to it.

No Known Risk - Major safety reviews find only low or unclear concerns. A cosmetic safety panel says this chamomile extract is generally safe in products when used with limits, and the European chemicals agency notes only limited evidence of skin allergy. A few small human studies and a review reported unclear (equivocal) findings for nerve or pregnancy effects, but the data are not strong. No health concern here is rated above low.

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

Sorbic Acid

✅3/10

For babies 6–12 months old, sorbic acid is usually low risk at the small amounts used in skin products, but it can cause allergic reactions in some children, especially those with eczema or sensitive skin.

Confidence: MEDIUM

Benzoic Acid

✅2/10

Benzoic acid is a preservative used in some lotions and creams. For babies aged 6–12 months it is usually low risk when present at the low levels used in baby products, but a small number of infants may get skin irritation or an allergic rash.

Confidence: HIGH

Caramel

✅2/10

Caramel is a coloring agent with low toxicity and rare allergenicity likely used for color in baby products

No Known Risk - Caramel, when used topically, is generally considered safe and does not have evidence linking it to skin irritation, hormone disruption, cancer, or other health risks in babies. There are no studies or regulatory warnings indicating topical caramel poses a risk to infants or children.

Confidence: HIGH

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

German Chamomile Extract

✅2/10

For babies 6–12 months, chamomile extract is usually low risk and often used to calm skin. However, there are a few small reports that raise questions, and some people — including babies with sensitive skin or allergies — can react to it.

No Known Risk - Reviews by cosmetic safety experts and regulatory assessments found only limited or mixed information and did not identify clear hazards for topical use. A few small human case reports and a clinical review noted possible, but unclear, effects; these were inconclusive and not strong enough to show a real risk. Because the evidence is weak and inconsistent, no health risks above low were identified for this ingredient.

Confidence: HIGH

Matricaria Flower is chamomile known for soothing properties and low irritation risk in topical baby products like shampoo and bodywash

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

Hydrolyzed Corn Starch

✅1/10

For older babies (6–12 months), hydrolyzed corn starch is generally safe to use on normal skin. It’s a common ingredient that helps condition skin or absorb moisture. The ingredient data shows very low concerns for cancer, allergy, and effects on growth or development.

No Known Risk - Available safety information shows low concern for cancer, allergies/immune effects, developmental or reproductive harm, and use restrictions for topical use. A cosmetic industry safety review notes only routine recommendations (limits on impurities or concentrations) rather than a health hazard. Based on this, no meaningful health risks have been identified for normal topical use of this ingredient.

Confidence: HIGH

Hydroxypropyl Guar Hydroxypropyltrimonium Chloride

✅1/10

For babies 6-12 months (infant, baby): this ingredient is generally considered low risk when used in rinse-off products like baby shampoo and bodywash. It is a conditioning ingredient and is not linked to major safety problems at typical use levels.

No Known Risk - Independent safety reviews found low concern for cancer, allergies, and reproductive or developmental harm when used on skin. The industry safety panel also notes gaps in data and recommends limits on how much can be used in products, and some product-verification programs require extra proof that it is safe. Overall, current reviews do not show a health risk for children from normal topical use.

Confidence: HIGH

Silica

✅1/10

Silica is used as an absorbent or anti-caking agent in topical products and is considered safe for baby skin in rinse-off or leave-on products

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 Lauroamphoacetate

✅1/10

For babies aged 6–12 months this ingredient is generally gentle and low risk when used in rinse-off baby products (like gentle washes or wipes). But some safety reports note possible contamination with an impurity and a small chance of skin or eye irritation, so extra care is reasonable for infants.

Confidence: HIGH

Aqua 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.
