Ingredients Analysis (22 found)

Fragrance
🚨6/10
Fragrance can cause skin irritation or allergic reactions in babies 6-12 months. It is often added for scent in baby shampoos and bodywashes but should be used cautiously.
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
Parfum
⚠️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 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
Coco-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
Coumarin
⚠️4/10
For babies 6–12 months (older infants, babies, crawling babies), coumarin is not usually linked to cancer but it is a known skin allergen for some people and can make skin absorb other things more easily. Because babies’ skin is still sensitive, it’s best to be careful.
Immune system - This ingredient is listed as a known human allergen and immune-system toxicant by EU regulatory sources and by the fragrance industry group. That means it can trigger immune reactions in people, including children.
Irritant - Regulatory and industry data note limited but clear evidence of skin toxicity and allergic skin reactions. This can cause redness, itching, or rashes on sensitive or baby skin.
Eczema - Because it is a known skin allergen with reported dermal reactions from EU and chemical safety authorities, it can trigger or worsen eczema and similar skin conditions in susceptible children.
Absorbed - This substance is identified as a penetration enhancer by EU cosmetic regulators, meaning it can increase skin uptake and itself be absorbed through the skin into the body.
Banned - Authorities note this compound was formerly allowed as a food additive but is now prohibited in food and is restricted in some cosmetic uses, so some countries or programs ban or tightly limit its use.
Confidence: MEDIUM
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.
