Ingredients Analysis (9 found)

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

Hydrated Silica

✅2/10

For a 6–12 month old baby (infant), hydrated silica used on the skin is generally low risk. It’s commonly put into products as a gentle scrub or thickener. Most experts consider it safe for normal, short-term topical use, but some safety reviews found animal studies and noted possible persistence concerns in the environment.

Confidence: MEDIUM

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

Maltodextrin

✅1/10

For babies 6–12 months (infants), maltodextrin in creams or lotions is usually safe. It’s used to help products feel better on the skin and is not linked to major health problems when used on the skin.

No Known Risk - Government and independent reviews find this ingredient safe for typical use. The U.S. food safety agency lists it as allowed for food, and a Canadian health agency says it is not expected to be toxic and is a low human-health priority. A cosmetic expert panel notes only routine limits on concentration or impurities. There are no identified health concerns above low for cancer, allergies, reproduction, or organ damage in the available assessments.

Confidence: HIGH

Sodium Bicarbonate

✅1/10

For infants 6–12 months (babies and older babies), sodium bicarbonate is very low risk when used in gentle, low-concentration products. Most official reviews find little hazard, but baby skin can be sensitive so it may cause mild dryness or a little redness in some babies.

No Known Risk - Government and industry safety reviews find no clear hazards for normal topical use. The U.S. FDA allows limited food uses; Environment Canada says it is not expected to be toxic or to build up in the body; an industry safety panel notes some data gaps and sets safe use limits but does not identify a health risk when used as intended. Based on these assessments, there are no known health risks for typical topical use.
