Skin contact in early childhood

Infant skin is thinner and more permeable than adult skin, with a higher surface-area-to-weight ratio, so the same product delivers a proportionally larger dose. The American Academy of Pediatrics advises fragrance-free, dye-free products for routine infant care.

Chemistry breakdown

Bar length = weight in the Baby & children formula · color = that component's score · tap a name to learn what it means.

Scored from 54% of the formula's weight. The rest doesn't apply to this product.

Endocrine disruptors6/10 · 35% weight

Chemicals that can interfere with the body's hormone system — the signals that regulate growth, metabolism and reproduction. Exposure matters most during pregnancy and early childhood, which is why this component carries extra weight in baby products. Common examples under study: certain parabens, phthalates and bisphenols.

Carcinogens5/10 · 19% weight

Ingredients that authoritative bodies (IARC, US NTP) have classified as known or suspected causes of cancer, weighted by the strength of that evidence — 'possibly carcinogenic' is treated very differently from 'known'.

PFASno PFAS listed · 15% weight

Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances — 'forever chemicals' that persist in the body and environment for years. Used for water- and stain-resistance; linked in studies to immune and developmental effects.

Materials integrityno materials on file · 13% weight

What the product is physically made of — the pulp, films, fibres and adhesives that touch skin. Rated on the safety record of each material, the way cookware is rated on its coating and metals.

Certificationsnone claimed · 10% weight

Independent third-party verifications (USDA Organic, FSC, EPA Safer Choice…). Informational only — having none never lowers a score; verified claims can raise it.

Fragrance opacityno fragrance listed · 8% weight

US law lets 'fragrance' stand in for dozens of undisclosed chemicals as a trade secret. This measures how much of the scent formula is hidden — not that fragrance is inherently harmful, but that you can't evaluate what isn't disclosed.
