This baby lotion contains 'Fragrance', an undisclosed blend of chemicals that is a common allergen and a significant concern for sensitive baby skin. While it includes some beneficial ingredients like glycerin and panthenol, the presence of undisclosed fragrance in a product intended for infants, combined with the use of a synthetic preservative, means it may not be the best choice for parents seeking the gentlest formulations. Parents of children with sensitive skin or known allergies should exercise caution.

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.

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.
This claim is a comparative statement that cannot be verified from the provided ingredient list or other label information.
The claim of '72 hour hydration' is a performance claim that cannot be verified from the ingredient list alone.
These are performance and efficacy claims that cannot be verified from the ingredient list alone.
The ingredient list does not explicitly state the absence of parabens, dyes, or phthalates, nor does it list them, making this claim unverifiable from the provided information.
The ingredient list confirms the presence of Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Extract (aloe) and Panthenol (Vitamin B5).
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.
