Ingredients Analysis (6 found)

Super Fine Talc
🚫8/10
For infants 6–12 months (older babies), talc is not recommended. It can be breathed in and may be contaminated with asbestos-like fibers; some health agencies have raised cancer concerns and some countries restrict its use.
Cancer - Government and health review bodies have linked talc to cancer. The ingredient record includes listings of 'known human carcinogen' and notes evaluations by an international cancer research agency (IARC) that found evidence connecting talc exposure to cancer in some uses. This means using talc (especially powdered forms that can be inhaled or used in the genital area) has been tied to increased cancer risk in some studies.
Banned - Several regulators limit or restrict talc in cosmetics. The ingredient record shows use and manufacturing restrictions cited by the EU Cosmetics rules and Health Canada, meaning some governments have banned or tightly limited talc in certain products or concentrations.
Organ Risk - A national environmental health agency (Environment Canada) classifies talc as expected to be toxic or harmful to non-reproductive organs and gives it a medium human-health priority. The record also flags contamination with asbestos-like (asbestiform) fibers, which can damage lungs after inhalation.
Long-Term Risk - The harms linked to talc (cancer and organ damage) are tied to repeated or long-term exposure. Agencies that reviewed talc list these long-term health concerns, so regular use over time raises added risk.
Absorbed - The ingredient record notes enhanced skin absorption for talc in some uses. That means talc or impurities in talc may more easily get past the skin and into the body in some product forms.
Confidence: HIGH
Fragrance
⚠️5/10
Perfume can cause skin irritation or allergic reactions in babies 6-12 months. It is used to provide fragrance in baby care products but should be used with caution.
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
Dipropylene Glycol
⚠️4/10
For babies aged 6–12 months this ingredient is usually low risk when used on the skin in small amounts. Most safety notes are mild, but the main worry is possible contamination with two unwanted chemicals.
Cancer - The ingredient data flags contamination with ethylene oxide and 1,4‑dioxane. Those two contaminants are recognized by health authorities as cancer-causing or likely cancer-causing chemicals, so a product tainted with them could raise cancer risk over time.
Long-Term Risk - Toxicology work on this chemical and the contamination concerns point to possible harms after repeated or long-term exposure. Animal toxicology studies and the presence of cancer-linked contaminants mean longer-term health effects are a real concern.
Organ Risk - Animal studies cited in the ingredient data showed kidney effects at high doses, and a human case report linked ingestion to acute kidney injury. These findings mean the substance has been tied to organ-level harm in some studies.
Confidence: MEDIUM
Calcium Carbonate
✅1/10
For babies 6–12 months (infants, babies, little ones), calcium carbonate used on the skin in creams or well-formulated products is generally safe and low risk. It is commonly used as a gentle thickener, absorbent, or mild scrub material.
Confidence: HIGH
Calcium Silicate
✅1/10
For babies 6–12 months (infants), calcium silicate is generally safe when it’s used in normal baby creams, lotions, or powders. Reviews by government and industry groups find it low risk when used properly.
No Known Risk - Regulatory reviews find no clear health dangers for topical use. A national environmental agency says it is not expected to be toxic, not likely to build up in the body, and is a low human-health priority. The U.S. food agency allows limited uses but also restricts some food uses, and an industry safety panel notes safety is judged by typical concentrations and that some data gaps exist. No concerns above low were found for cancer, development, or immune effects. For normal topical use on children, no known risks have been identified.
Confidence: HIGH
Magnesium Carbonate
✅1/10
Magnesium carbonate is generally very low risk for 6–12 month old babies when used on the skin in normal product amounts. It’s commonly used to help absorb moisture and keep products from clumping.
No Known Risk - Regulatory assessments conclude this ingredient is not expected to harm organs, does not build up in the body, and is not an environmental toxin. No health concerns above a low level were identified for its topical use, so no specific risks were found.
Confidence: HIGH
