Ingredients Analysis (18 found)

Lavender Oil
🚨6/10
For babies aged 6–12 months (infants), lavender oil may be safe in very low amounts in products made for babies, but it can irritate sensitive baby skin and there are a few scientific reports suggesting it might act like a hormone in rare cases. Because babies are still developing, it's safer to avoid putting concentrated lavender essential oil directly on their skin.
Hormones - There are medical case reports and laboratory studies that link topical lavender oil to hormone changes in children, including early breast development and small breast tissue in boys. These findings show the oil can affect normal hormone development in young children.
Confuse Hormones - Research studies found that lavender oil can act like estrogen in lab tests and in reported clinical cases. That means the oil may mimic or confuse the body’s natural hormone signals.
Absorbed - Cases of hormone effects after skin use mean the oil can get through skin and reach the body. Clinical reports showing systemic effects support that topical lavender oil can be absorbed into the bloodstream.
Confidence: HIGH
Beeswax
2/10
Natural wax emollient and thickener forming a skin barrier. Used in wipes and lotions to stabilize and moisturize. Generally safe. Rare contact allergy, possible propolis contamination.
Confidence: HIGH
Potassium Cocoate
2/10
For babies aged 6–12 months, Potassium Cocoate is usually low risk. It’s a soap-like ingredient made from coconut oils and is commonly used in cleansers. Most safety data show low concerns for serious health effects, but it can sometimes irritate skin or eyes.
No Known Risk - Government health assessments conclude this ingredient is not expected to cause organ toxicity, is not persistent or likely to build up in the body, and is considered a low priority for human health. An industry safety review notes data gaps and recommends limits on how much may be used in products, and there is only limited evidence of skin or eye irritation. Taken together, current reviews find no significant health risks for typical topical use when the ingredient is used within recommended limits (government and industry safety reviews).
Confidence: MEDIUM
Calendula Flower Extract
2/10
For babies 6–12 months (infants), calendula flower extract is usually gentle and used to soothe and moisturize skin. Most babies tolerate it well, but a very small number may get a skin reaction.

Confidence: HIGH
Stearic Acid

1/10
For babies 6–12 months old, xanthan gum is generally safe when it’s an ingredient in normal baby wipes, creams or lotions. It’s a mild thickener that rarely irritates skin.
No Known Risk - Safety reviews and regulatory assessments find no health hazards above a low level for topical use. It is approved for limited use in food, classified as not expected to be toxic and a low human-health priority, and not suspected to be an environmental toxin. Cosmetic industry reviewers note only guidance on concentrations or purity. Because no concern was rated above low, no specific risks were identified for babies or children.

No Known Risk - Available safety reviews and regulatory evaluations show only low-level concerns for cancer, allergies, reproductive effects, and use limits. It is also listed as safe for limited use in food by the US FDA. For topical use, no higher-than-low hazards were identified, so no specific health risks are indicated.
Confidence: MEDIUM
Xylityl Caprylate
1/10
For babies 6–12 months (infants, older babies), Xylityl Caprylate is likely safe when used on normal, unbroken skin in typical baby lotions and wipes. Overall safety signals for cancer, allergy and developmental harm are very low.
No Known Risk - Current safety reviews show low concern across the usual categories (cancer, allergies/immune, and developmental/reproductive), and it is listed as safe for limited use in food by a U.S. regulator. Based on these assessments, there are no known health risks for normal topical use.

No Known Risk - Regulatory reviews (Environment Canada) find plain water is not expected to be toxic, not bioaccumulative, and not an environmental toxin.
