Reviewed 3 times · Methodology v3.1 (updated 8 Oct 2026) — what changed

This baby lotion contains 'Fragrance', an undisclosed blend of chemicals that can include common allergens, which is a significant concern for a product intended for infants and young children with developing and more permeable skin. While it includes some emollients and humectants, the presence of undisclosed fragrance limits its suitability for sensitive baby skin. Parents seeking products for children with sensitive skin or a history of allergies should consider alternatives with fully disclosed ingredient lists.

Undisclosed fragrance in baby lotion raises allergy concerns

This baby lotion contains an undisclosed 'Fragrance' blend, which is a common source of allergens and irritants. For a product designed for babies, whose skin is more delicate and permeable, this lack of transparency about potential sensitizers is a significant concern. While it contains some beneficial moisturizing ingredients, the presence of undisclosed fragrance means it may not be suitable for children with sensitive skin or a history of allergies.

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.

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.
