Ingredients Analysis (10 found)

Mentha Piperita (Peppermint Oil)
🚫8/10
Peppermint oil can cause skin irritation breathing issues and toxicity in infants not safe for 6-12 months topical use often added for scent
Confidence: HIGH
Menthol
🚨7/10
For babies 6–12 months (infants), menthol can cause skin irritation and allergic reactions and may bother breathing if put near the nose or mouth. It is generally not recommended for routine use on this age group.
Immune system - Menthol is identified as a known human allergen and flagged with strong evidence of human toxicant/allergen by regulatory bodies (EU Cosmetics Directive and the U.S. EPA). That means it can trigger allergic or immune reactions when put on the skin.
Irritant - Regulatory assessments list menthol as a human allergen/toxicant, which is linked to skin reactions like redness, stinging, or contact dermatitis—especially when applied topically to sensitive skin.
Eczema - Because menthol is a recognized human allergen (per the EU cosmetics review and U.S. EPA findings), it can trigger or worsen eczema and similar inflammatory skin conditions in susceptible people.
Confidence: MEDIUM
Glycyrrhiza Uralensis (Licorice) Root Extract"
⚠️5/10
For infants (6–12 months), licorice root extract is often used safely in small, topical amounts, but there is some evidence it can affect hormones and, rarely, cause other health issues if absorbed in larger amounts. Babies’ skin is still developing, so we should be cautious.
Confidence: MEDIUM
Chamomilla Recutita (Matricaria) Flower Extract
✅3/10
For a 6–12 month old baby, chamomile flower extract is generally low risk when used on the skin. Most babies tolerate it fine, but a small number can have a contact allergy, especially if they are allergic to ragweed or other daisy-family plants.
No Known Risk - Reviewed safety panels and chemical agencies found only limited or unclear evidence of harm from chamomile flower extract when used on the skin. Expert reviews say it is generally safe for cosmetic use with normal concentrations, and studies that suggested possible effects were small or mixed. Because no clear, higher-than-low concerns were identified, there are no specific risks to report.
Confidence: MEDIUM
Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Juice
✅2/10
For babies 6 to 12 months old, aloe vera leaf juice used on the skin is usually safe when it is part of a product made for baby skin and used in small amounts. It helps moisturize and soothe, but a small number of babies may be sensitive.
Confidence: MEDIUM
Cellulose Gum
✅1/10
For babies 6–12 months (infants), cellulose gum used on the skin is usually safe. It’s a gentle, widely used thickener and rarely causes problems when it’s in products made for babies.
No Known Risk - Reviewed safety information shows no health concerns above low for this ingredient. Official food-safety reviewers permit limited use in food, a cosmetic safety review panel notes some data gaps but did not find high risks, and a Canadian health authority classifies it as not expected to be toxic or an environmental hazard. Some product-verification programs may still ask for extra proof before allowing it, but current evidence points to no known health risks for topical use.
Confidence: HIGH
Polyglyceryl-10 Laurate
✅1/10
For a 6–12 month old baby (older infant), Polyglyceryl-10 Laurate is usually safe. It’s a mild ingredient that helps water and oil mix in creams and cleansers. Overall risks like cancer or lasting health problems are low, and irritation is uncommon.
No Known Risk - Available safety reviews do not show any health concerns above a low level. Experts flagged only a possible, low-level chance of skin, eye, or lung irritation but noted the evidence is not strong. Other checks (cancer, allergy/immune, and developmental or reproductive effects) were rated low. For typical topical use on children, no higher-level risks were identified.
Confidence: MEDIUM
Xylitol
✅1/10
Safe for 6–12 month babies when used on the skin and kept out of the mouth. It helps the skin stay soft and moist and is very unlikely to cause problems.
No Known Risk - Checks show only low concern for skin use. No strong links to cancer, allergies, or growth problems were found.
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
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.
Confidence: HIGH
