Cetaphil Baby Mild Cleansing Bar
Fewer concerns on: Preservative Safety
Tedibar Moisturising Baby Bathing Bar
Fewer concerns on: Harsh Surfactants & Irritants
Scores: both products fall in the Concerning band, so the small gap between them doesn't make one "safer". See each product's label findings below. Which difference matters most depends on who is eating or using it — that's your call.
A higher score means fewer or lighter concerns found under Decode Label's published rules. It is not a medical "safe", and a lower score does not establish that a product is unsafe.
Safety Score
Cetaphil Baby Mild Cleansing Bar provides a more detailed ingredient list but includes a higher load of fragrance allergens.
Safety Score
Tedibar Moisturising Baby Bathing Bar offers a slightly gentler surfactant system for baby skin.
Side by side
What each label says.
Fragrance allergens matter mainly if you have sensitive skin or a known fragrance allergy.
What these labels can't tell us
- How much of each ingredient is in the product — labels list order, not amounts.
- What is inside a bare "Fragrance" — it can include allergens the label does not name.
- How the finished product performs, or how your skin or scalp will react — an ingredient list cannot show either.
- Anything a laboratory test would find — Decode Label reads labels; it does not test products.
Concern match
A separate lens from the overall Safety Score above — how well each product suits a specific concern, not an overall verdict. Each concern is scored 0–10: higher means less of that concern (5 ≈ neutral).

Declared ingredients linked to common baby & kids goals
Ingredient read — not a safety scoreRead from the two ingredient lists rather than measured by the Decode Label engine, so these sit apart from the scores above and do not change the verdict. 5 means neutral — no ingredient that helps or hinders. Traditional cosmetic use, not a medical claim — and the ingredient list alone does not establish that the finished product delivers the benefit.
