Ingredients Analysis (10 found)

lactate

⚠️4/10

For babies 6–12 months (infants, little ones), sodium lactate is usually a gentle moisturizing ingredient when it is used in products made for babies and at the right strength. It has low concern for cancer or common allergies, but experts also note limits on how it is used because it can make the skin take up other ingredients more easily.

Banned - This ingredient is restricted for some uses and must follow limits in parts of the world. An industry safety panel sets concentration and pH rules and a national cosmetics watch list flags it as restricted, so some countries or products limit or ban it unless rules are met (Cosmetic Ingredient Review; Canada Cosmetics Hot List).

Absorbed - This chemical can help other things pass through the skin and itself is noted as a penetration enhancer. That means it can get into the body more easily if used on the skin (position paper on alpha-hydroxy acids).

Sun Burn - Experts say it must be formulated carefully to avoid making skin more sensitive to sunlight. Labels or sun-protection directions are recommended to lower this risk (Cosmetic Ingredient Review).

Irritant - Safety guidance says it may only be safe when used briefly and rinsed off, and there are limits on pH and concentration. Those rules point to a real chance of skin irritation if used wrong (Cosmetic Ingredient Review).

Confidence: MEDIUM

lauryl glucoside

✅3/10

For a baby aged 6–12 months, lauryl glucoside is usually gentle and is commonly used in baby washes and wipes. Most infants do fine with it, but a small number may get skin irritation or an allergic rash.

Confidence: MEDIUM

coco-glucoside

✅2/10

For babies 6–12 months (older infants), coco-glucoside is usually gentle and low risk when used in products made for babies. Most babies tolerate it well, but a small number can get irritation or allergic rash.

Confidence: HIGH

1 2-hexanediol

✅1/10

For older infants (6–12 months), this ingredient is usually very gentle and low risk on healthy skin when used as directed.

Confidence: MEDIUM

aspartic acid

✅1/10

For babies 6–12 months old, aspartic acid is generally safe when used on the skin. It is a common amino acid with very low concerns reported for cancer, allergies, or developmental harm.

No Known Risk - Authoritative agencies find no meaningful hazards for topical use. It is allowed for food use by the U.S. food agency, a Canadian agency says it is not expected to be toxic or to build up in the body, and industry safety reviewers note only routine safe‑use guidance. Taken together, these sources show no real health or environmental risks at normal use levels.

Confidence: HIGH

beta-glucan

✅1/10

For babies 6–12 months old (infants, little babies, 6- to 12-month-old), beta-glucan is generally safe when it appears in ordinary baby creams and lotions. It is used to soothe and hydrate the skin and has very low safety concerns in standard use.

No Known Risk - A formal cosmetic safety review (Cosmetic Ingredient Review) and product-safety notes show only low-level concerns and some limits on concentration or impurities. No health concerns above low (for cancer, allergies/immune, or reproductive effects) were identified for typical topical use, so there are no known real risks when used as intended.

Confidence: HIGH

caprylyl glycol

✅1/10

For babies 6–12 months (infants), Caprylyl Glycol is usually low risk when used in small amounts in baby lotions and wipes. It is not thought to cause cancer or long-term harm based on government and industry reviews.

No Known Risk - Government and industry safety reviews found no clear health hazards for skin use. Tests say it is not likely to build up in the body, not persistent in the environment, and not harmful to organs. Industry reviewers do note limits on how much can be used and some data gaps, but overall the ingredient is rated low concern for topical use.

Confidence: MEDIUM

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

guar hydroxypropyltrimonium chloride

✅1/10

Guar Hydroxypropyltrimonium Chloride is a modified guar gum used as a conditioning agent in shampoos and bodywashes. It is very safe for babies 6-12 months in topical use.

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.
