Ingredients Analysis (19 found)

Methylisothiazolinone
🚨7/10
For a 6–12 month-old baby (infant, little one), this preservative is risky. It is known to cause skin allergies and redness in children and is restricted or banned from some leave-on baby products in some countries.
Immune system - This ingredient is a known skin sensitizer and can trigger immune reactions. Toxicity reviews and safety assessments list strong evidence that it causes allergic reactions in people, and regulators note it as an allergen.
Eczema - There are human case reports of children who developed allergic contact dermatitis after exposure (for example, from baby wipes). These cases show it can start or make eczema and similar rashes worse.
Irritant - Workplace and safety reports show it can irritate skin, eyes, or lungs and act as a skin irritant for some people.
Banned - Government safety opinions and national agencies have restricted or banned its use in cosmetics in some places and set limits on how it may be used, indicating regulatory concern about safety.
Confidence: HIGH
Hexyl Cinnamal
🚨6/10
Hexyl Cinnamal is a fragrance chemical that can cause allergic skin reactions. For infants and babies 6-12 months old, it carries a higher chance of causing a rash or sensitivity compared with older children or adults.
Immune system - This ingredient is flagged as an allergen. The EU cosmetics rules list it as a known human allergen, and the European Chemicals Agency shows limited but real evidence of skin and immune system reactions. Because the data mark allergies as a high concern, people (including children) with sensitive skin could get rashes or other allergic responses.
Hormones - Animal studies reviewed by the U.S. EPA found signs of endocrine disruption at moderate doses. That means the chemical can change normal hormone signals in the body, which could be important for growing children even if human evidence is limited.
Organ Risk - The European Chemicals Agency has classified this ingredient as toxic or harmful in some assessments for non-reproductive organs. That suggests repeated or high exposure could hurt organs (for example liver, lungs, or kidneys) even though some other agencies view the risk differently.
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
CI 15985 FD&C Yellow No 6
🚨6/10
Yellow 6 is a synthetic dye not recommended for infant skin due to allergy and irritation risks likely used for color
Irritant - Yellow 6 (Sunset Yellow FCF) has been reported to cause skin irritation in sensitive individuals, especially with topical exposure.
Cancer - Some studies have raised concerns about the potential carcinogenicity of Yellow 6, with animal studies showing tumor formation at high doses, though evidence in humans is limited.
Banned - Yellow 6 is banned or restricted in some countries due to health concerns, including Norway and Finland in the past.
Confidence: HIGH
Sodium Trideceth Sulfate
⚠️5/10
For babies (6–12 months), this ingredient is a soap/shampoo type cleaner. It has low direct health concerns, but there is a known risk that the way it’s made can leave tiny amounts of unwanted contaminants. It can also irritate sensitive baby skin or eyes in some cases.
Cancer - The ingredient report flags high contamination concerns for ethylene oxide and 1,4‑dioxane being present as impurities. Those two contaminants are linked to cancer by public health authorities, so their possible presence in this ingredient is a real cancer risk if children are exposed.
Long-Term Risk - Because the ingredient can carry harmful impurities and industry guidance calls for limits on impurities and manufacturing methods, repeated use over time could raise long-term health risks. The ingredient report specifically notes high contamination concerns and cites industry review recommending controls on impurities.
Confidence: MEDIUM
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
Lauramidopropyl Betaine
⚠️4/10
For infants 6–12 months old, this ingredient is generally okay in small amounts in rinse-off baby washes and shampoos. It’s a mild cleanser and most families won’t see problems, but there are some manufacturing and allergy concerns to be aware of.
Immune system - An expert safety review noted limited evidence that this ingredient can cause immune or allergic reactions. The same safety panel flagged allergies and immune effects as a concern (rated above low), so people with sensitive skin or known allergies could react.
Irritant - The safety assessment and expert report list limited evidence of allergy and skin reactions tied to this ingredient and related compounds. That means it can cause redness, itch, or contact dermatitis in some people, especially on sensitive baby skin.
Banned - Cosmetic safety reviewers and a product verification program have placed restrictions on use and require limits or proof for including this ingredient in certified products. An expert panel specifically recommended use or concentration limits, which signals regulatory caution.
Long-Term Risk - The ingredient record flags high contamination concerns: specific impurities (for example, 3‑dimethylaminopropylamine and related amines) were identified. Impurities can create risks over time with repeated exposure, so long-term safety depends on manufacturing controls.
Confidence: MEDIUM
Tetrasodium EDTA
⚠️4/10
For a 6–12 month old infant, this ingredient is usually low risk for long-term harm when used in small amounts in baby wipes, lotions or shampoos. However, it can irritate skin and eyes and may help other ingredients get into the skin more easily, so extra care is wise for babies.
Irritant - This ingredient is officially classed as an irritant by the EU GHS hazard codes. That means it can cause skin or eye redness, itch, or breathing irritation if it touches skin or is breathed in.
Organ Risk - Environment Canada lists this chemical as expected to be toxic or harmful to non-reproductive body systems and gives it a medium human-health priority. That signals a real risk of harm to organs (for example liver or kidneys) with harmful exposures.
Absorbed - A cosmetic safety panel (Cosmetic Ingredient Review) identifies this ingredient as a penetration enhancer. That means it can help other substances, and itself, get through the skin into the body.
Long-Term Risk - Workplace limits and the medium health-priority classification (reported by regulators) indicate caution for repeated or long-term exposure. Those findings suggest possible health effects after years of exposure.
Confidence: HIGH
Mel Honey
⚠️4/10
Mel Honey is not a recognized ingredient name it may be a misreading or typo possibly referring to honey which is not recommended for infants topically or orally under 12 months
Confidence: HIGH
Chamomilla Recutita 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.
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
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
Propanediol
✅3/10
For babies 6–12 months (infant, baby, toddler), propanediol is usually low risk when used at the levels found in baby lotions and wipes. But it can sometimes irritate sensitive skin and can make skin absorb other ingredients more easily, so we remain careful.
Confidence: MEDIUM
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
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
Chamomilla Recutita Flower Extract
✅1/10
Chamomilla Recutita Flower Extract is commonly used for its soothing properties in baby products. It is generally safe for topical use in 6-12 month babies.
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: 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.
