This baby lotion contains 'Fragrance', which is a significant concern for a product intended for children due to the potential for undisclosed allergens and sensitizers. While it includes several beneficial emollients and skin conditioners, the presence of an unspecified fragrance blend in a product for sensitive baby skin is a primary drawback. Parents of children with sensitive skin or a history of allergies should exercise caution.

Baby lotion with undisclosed fragrance; contains emollients and conditioners
This baby lotion contains an undisclosed 'Fragrance' blend, which is a concern for a product designed for children due to the potential for skin sensitization and allergic reactions from unlisted fragrance components. The formulation does include several emollients and skin conditioning agents like Isopropyl Palmitate and Glycerin, which help moisturize and soften the skin. However, the lack of transparency regarding the fragrance ingredients is a significant drawback for a baby product.

Phenoxyethanol, a preservative, while generally safe at low levels, is sometimes a concern for very young infants.
Disodium EDTA — disodium EDTA is a chelating agent that keeps a product stable and clear. It has been flagged in some studies for potential endocrine-disrupting properties; regulatory consensus is not yet established, so it is noted as a low-level concern rather than a confirmed hazard.

Fragrance
"Fragrance" or "parfum" is a catch-all term that can conceal a blend of hundreds of undisclosed chemicals, including known allergens, sensitisers, and potential endocrine disruptors. The EU now mandates disclosure of 82 specific fragrance allergens. People with fragrance sensitivity, asthma, or contact dermatitis should prefer fragrance-free products.

Contains 'Fragrance', an undisclosed mix of chemicals that can be a common allergen and sensitizer, especially for sensitive baby skin. EU regulations require specific declaration of known fragrance allergens above certain thresholds, which is not provided here.
Claim check
Front-of-pack marketing claims checked against this product's actual ingredients and nutrition. "Can't verify" means the label does not provide enough information to check the claim — it is not the same as the claim being false.
The term 'nourishing' is a subjective descriptor and cannot be objectively verified from the provided ingredient list or nutrition information.
The ingredient list does not explicitly state the absence of parabens, dyes, or phthalates, nor does it list any ingredients commonly identified as such. Without a specific 'free from' declaration or a comprehensive list of what constitutes 'dyes' and 'phthalates' in this context
The term 'moisturising' is a subjective descriptor and cannot be objectively verified from the provided ingredient list or nutrition information.
The claim '10x Ingredients' is vague and does not specify what it refers to (e.g., 10 times more of certain ingredients, or 10 specific ingredients). Without further context or a list of these '10x ingredients', it cannot be verified.
The ingredient list includes 'Milk Protein' and 'Hydrolyzed Rice Bran Protein', confirming the presence of milk and rice components.
The ingredient list includes 'Milk Protein' and 'Hydrolyzed Rice Bran Protein' (rice extracts), supporting the presence of these components. The 'nourishes' and 'help protect from dryness' aspects are benefit claims associated with these ingredients.
Read straight from the back-of-pack photo — quantities, sections and any disguised terms, so the small print can’t hide behind the marketing.

About this analysis: Based on declared label information and available evidence. Decode Label does not independently laboratory-test products, and a score is not a regulatory determination or medical advice.
Disclaimer: Safety scores are Decode Label-generated assessments based on publicly available regulatory data (FSSAI, WHO, EFSA, IARC) and peer-reviewed research. They are not a substitute for professional medical advice, and they are not a regulatory determination, a laboratory safety certification or a medical diagnosis. Ingredient safety can vary by individual health conditions, concentration, and usage context. Decode Label is an independent information service and scores every brand by the same rules. No brand pays for or influences its score. Our founder also founded the personal-care brand Botani Bestie (see our story); its products are scored exactly like everyone else's. Data limitations: This assessment is based on the information declared on the product label and the evidence sources above — Decode Label does not independently laboratory-test this product. Ingredient concentrations, sourcing and manufacturing can vary between batches and are not always disclosed. A finding that is not shown here means it was not identified from the available label information, not that it has been ruled out.
