Ingredients Analysis (21 found)

SODIUM LAURETH SULFATE
🚨6/10
For a 6–12 month old baby, this ingredient is a cleansing agent that can irritate sensitive skin or eyes and may carry tiny amounts of manufacturing impurities. It’s not banned, but it’s not the gentlest choice for infants.
Irritant - A formal safety review (Cosmetic Ingredient Review) found strong evidence that this ingredient can irritate skin, eyes, and lungs in people. That means babies or children may get redness, stinging, or sore eyes if exposed.
Organ Risk - A government health assessment (Environment Canada) classifies this ingredient as likely to be harmful to body organs with a medium human-health priority. Repeated or heavy exposure could affect organs like the liver or kidneys.
Cancer - Safety checks flag the ingredient for contamination by ethylene oxide and 1,4‑dioxane. These contaminants are known cancer-linked chemicals in regulatory and safety assessments, so contamination raises a cancer concern if present.
Confidence: MEDIUM
FRAGRANCE PARFUM
🚨6/10
Premium Fragrance Oil is a vague term for fragrance blends that may contain allergens or irritants. Fragrances often cause skin sensitivity in babies 6-12 months.
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
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
RED 33 CI 17200
🚨6/10
Red 33 is a synthetic dye not approved for use in products for infants under 1 year due to potential skin sensitivity and absorption risk
Irritant - Red 33 (CI 17200) is a synthetic dye that can cause skin irritation, especially in individuals with sensitive skin, including babies.
Absorbed - There is evidence that certain synthetic dyes can be absorbed through the skin, especially when used on compromised or sensitive skin, raising concerns for infants.
Confidence: HIGH
YELLOW 5 CI 19140
🚨6/10
FD and C Yellow No 5 is a synthetic dye with allergy risk and limited safety data for infant skin likely used for color
Asthma - Yellow 5 has been linked to exacerbating asthma symptoms in sensitive individuals, particularly children, according to clinical reports and regulatory warnings.
Irritant - Yellow 5 can cause skin irritation, especially when used topically on sensitive baby skin, leading to redness or rashes.
Eczema - There is evidence that Yellow 5 can trigger or worsen eczema and similar skin conditions in susceptible children.
Confidence: HIGH
COCAMIDOPROPYL 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
TEA-DODECYLBENZENESULFONATE
⚠️5/10
For a 6–12 month old baby, this ingredient is not flagged as a likely cancer-causing or development-harming chemical in available reviews, but some governments and expert panels limit how it can be used. That means it can be okay in some products and not allowed in others, so we should be careful.
Banned - This ingredient is restricted from some cosmetic uses under EU cosmetics rules. An industry safety review also flags limits on how much can be used and notes data gaps, so regulators and reviewers limit or forbid its use in certain products.
Confidence: MEDIUM
WATER AQUA
⚠️5/10
Water Aqua is purified water used as a solvent in baby shampoos and bodywash. It is very safe and essential for formulation.
Confidence: HIGH
PPG-9
✅3/10
For babies aged 6–12 months, PPG-9 is generally considered low risk when used in small amounts in products made for babies. Baby skin is thinner and more sensitive than older children’s, so extra care is needed.
Confidence: MEDIUM
DISODIUM EDTA
✅3/10
For infants 6–12 months, Disodium EDTA is usually low risk when used in small amounts in baby lotions and wipes. The biggest issue is that it can irritate the skin or help other ingredients get into the skin faster, which may cause reactions in sensitive babies.
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
CARBOMER
✅2/10
For babies 6–12 months old (infants, babies, toddlers under 1 year), carbomer is usually safe when used in small amounts in baby lotions, creams, or wipes. It acts to thicken products and generally stays on the skin. Serious health risks are not expected, but tiny amounts of manufacturing impurities have been reported as a concern.
Confidence: MEDIUM
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
GUAR HYDROXYPROPYLTRIMONIUM CHLORIDE
✅2/10
Generally safe for babies 6 to 12 months when used in wipes and lotions. It’s a gentle conditioning ingredient that helps skin feel soft and reduces dryness.
Confidence: HIGH
POLYQUATERNIUM-10
✅2/10
For babies 6–12 months old, this ingredient is generally considered low risk, but direct safety testing in infants is limited. Because related chemicals have shown possible effects in animal and lab studies, we stay cautious for babies and keep the safety score low but not zero.
Confidence: MEDIUM
SODIUM BENZOATE
✅2/10
For babies 6–12 months old, sodium benzoate in small amounts is generally low risk when used in skin products. Babies this age handle it better than newborns, but it may irritate very sensitive or broken skin.
Confidence: MEDIUM
COCAMIDOPROPYL HYDROXYSULTAINE
✅2/10
For babies 6–12 months old, this is usually a gentle cleansing ingredient found in shampoos and washes. Most babies tolerate it well when it is in a product you rinse off. There is low concern for cancer or long-term harm, but some reports show it can irritate eyes or sensitive skin and there are manufacturing impurities that are a higher concern.
Confidence: MEDIUM
DIMETHICONOL
✅1/10
For a 6–12 month old baby (infant), dimethiconol is usually safe when used on the skin in baby products. It’s a silicone that helps skin feel soft. Official ingredient reviews list very low concerns for cancer, allergies, or developmental harm, but there are some data gaps and limits manufacturers follow.
No Known Risk - Reviews by a cosmetic industry safety panel (CIR) and a European chemicals regulator (ECHA) find only low-level concerns for cancer, allergies, and reproductive effects for normal skin use. The industry reviewers note some data gaps about exact use concentrations, and the European regulator reports limited evidence of environmental toxicity. Because no health concern was rated above “low” for topical use, no specific child health risk labels apply.
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
SODIUM CHLORIDE
✅1/10
For babies aged 6–12 months (older infants), sodium chloride is basically table salt. In the small amounts used in baby wipes, lotions or saline it is usually safe and well tolerated.
No Known Risk - Regulatory reviews flag no meaningful health hazards for topical use. Food and health authorities list it as safe for limited use, and environmental assessments find it unlikely to harm organs, build up in the body, or damage wildlife. Overall expert sources rate concerns as low across cancer, allergies, development, and use restrictions.
Confidence: HIGH
SODIUM CITRATE
✅1/10
For babies 6–12 months old (older infants), sodium citrate used in small amounts in baby lotions and wipes is generally safe and low risk. It mainly helps keep product pH steady and stable.
No Known Risk - Reviewed safety information shows only low-level concerns. U.S. food regulators say it is allowed for some food uses, a cosmetic safety panel notes allowed limits and some data gaps but does not show hazards at normal use, and a national environment agency finds it unlikely to harm organs, build up in the body, or persist in the environment. Because no health concern was reported above low, there are no specific risks identified for typical topical use.
