Ingredients Analysis (11 found)

white petrolatum

⚠️4/10

For babies 6 to 12 months, purified white petrolatum is okay to use on small areas as a skin barrier and moisturizer.

Banned - In the EU, this ingredient is restricted unless it is very pure, because it can carry PAH leftovers from oil. This rule comes from the EU Cosmetics Directive.

Organ Risk - Canada’s environmental health agency lists it as expected to be harmful and a high health priority. With repeat use, it may stress organs like the liver.

Builds Up - Studies in people (2015) and in lab rats (2017) found mineral oil parts can collect in body tissues over time. Small daily amounts can add up.

Long-Term Risk - Because it can build up in the body and may carry PAH impurities, risks can grow with years of use. Purity limits in the EU were set to lower this risk.

Confidence: MEDIUM

bisabolol

✅3/10

For a 6–12 month old baby (older infant), bisabolol is usually low risk and is used to calm and condition baby skin. However, some people can get skin allergies from it, so babies with sensitive skin need extra care.

Confidence: MEDIUM

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

lanolin

✅2/10

Lanolin is generally safe for babies but may cause allergic reactions in some sensitive infants used as a moisturizer or skin protectant

Confidence: HIGH

mineral oil

✅2/10

For babies (infants) 6-12 months old, mineral oil is usually considered low risk when put on normal, unbroken skin and used sparingly. It can help keep skin soft and prevent dryness.

Confidence: MEDIUM

avena sativa (oat) kernel extract

✅1/10

For babies 6-12 months old (infants, babies, toddlers under one year), oat kernel extract is generally gentle and used to soothe dry or irritated skin. Most babies tolerate it well.

No Known Risk - Formal cosmetic safety assessments find only low-level concerns for cancer, allergies, and developmental effects and conclude the ingredient is generally safe for topical use, sometimes with limits on concentration. No higher-than-low risks were identified in available reviews, so there are no clear real risks for children from normal topical use.

Confidence: HIGH

cholesterol

✅1/10

Cholesterol is generally safe for babies aged 6–12 months when it’s in baby creams or lotions. It helps keep a baby’s skin soft and hold in moisture. Major reviews say it is low risk for cancer or allergy, but some experts recommend limits on how it’s made and used.

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

zea mays (corn) starch

✅1/10

Zea Mays Starch is corn starch used as an absorbent and thickener in baby products and is considered very safe for topical use on babies

No Known Risk - Corn starch is widely used in baby powders and topical products, and current research does not show any significant health risks when used on intact skin. It is generally considered safe for topical use on babies, with no evidence linking it to irritation, hormone disruption, cancer, or other long-term health effects. However, care should be taken to avoid inhalation of powders, but for topical use, there are no known risks.

Confidence: HIGH

zinc oxide

✅1/10

Zinc oxide is a safe mineral ingredient for topical use on babies 6 to 12 months when in creams or lotions. It protects skin and acts as a physical sunscreen or barrier.

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.
