Ingredients Analysis (11 found)

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

tocopheryl acetate

✅3/10

Usually fine for most 6–12 month old babies when used sparingly on healthy skin. The main worry is a possible skin rash in sensitive babies.

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

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

dehydroacetic acid

✅2/10

For babies 6–12 months old, dehydroacetic acid (a preservative) is generally low risk in the tiny amounts used in baby skincare. Most infants tolerate it well, but some babies with very sensitive skin can get mild irritation or a rash.

Confidence: HIGH

potassium sorbate

✅2/10

For infants aged 6–12 months, potassium sorbate is a common preservative and is usually safe in small amounts, but it can sometimes cause skin irritation or an allergic skin reaction.

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

oryza sativa rice extract

✅1/10

Oryza Sativa Rice Extract is generally safe for baby skin and is used for moisturizing and soothing properties

No Known Risk - Rice extract is generally considered safe for topical use on babies, with no evidence linking it to irritation, allergies, hormone disruption, or other health risks based on current research.

Confidence: HIGH

sodium cocoyl hydrolyzed soy protein

✅1/10

This is a gentle cleanser made from soy and coconut that is usually safe for babies aged 6–12 months. Safety information rates it as very low concern for cancer, allergies and reproductive effects.

No Known Risk - Reviewed safety information for this topical ingredient shows only low-level concerns (for cancer, allergies/immunity, and developmental or reproductive effects) and no higher-level warnings or use restrictions. In short, no meaningful health risks were identified for typical topical use.

Confidence: HIGH

aloe barbadensis leaf extract

✅1/10

Aloe barbadensis leaf extract is commonly used in baby wipes for soothing and moisturizing. It is very safe for topical use on babies 6-12 months.

Confidence: HIGH

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.
