Reviewed 6 times · Methodology v3.1 (updated 8 Oct 2026) — what changed
This baby soap contains true soap, which is alkaline and can be drying for a baby's delicate, naturally acidic skin. The presence of undisclosed 'Fragrance' is a concern for infants and young children due to potential allergenicity, as specific sensitizers are not listed. While it includes beneficial ingredients like glycerin and vitamin E, the formulation's base and the lack of fragrance transparency make it less ideal for sensitive infant skin compared to pH-balanced, fragrance-free alternatives.

Alkaline soap base and undisclosed fragrance in baby soap
This baby soap is made with a traditional alkaline soap base, which can be harsh and drying for a baby's sensitive skin, potentially disrupting its natural acid mantle. It also contains an undisclosed 'Fragrance' blend, which is a common source of allergens and can cause irritation or sensitization in infants and young children, as specific fragrance allergens are not listed. Parents of children with sensitive skin or known allergies should exercise caution.

LimitThis product is a true soap with an alkaline pH, which can be more stripping and drying to a baby's delicate, naturally acidic skin barrier compared to pH-balanced cleansers.
Specific sensitivities
Avoid if affectedThe presence of undisclosed 'Fragrance' means specific allergens are not listed, which can be problematic for children prone to skin sensitivities or fragrance allergies. Consider fragrance-free alternatives.

Watch out for
Alkaline soap base may be drying for sensitive baby skin.
Undisclosed 'Fragrance' poses a risk of irritation or sensitization for infants and young children.

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.
Regulatory & scientific authority Source: EU Regulation 2023/1545; IFRA
Fragrance: regulation, sources and other products →Decode Label Analysis
The product contains 'Fragrance', an undisclosed blend of chemicals that can be a source of allergens and irritants, particularly for sensitive baby skin. EU regulations require specific fragrance allergens to be declared if present above certain thresholds, which is not possible with a generic 'Fragrance' listing.
This product is a true soap (made from saponified oils), which is inherently alkaline (pH ~9-10). A baby's skin barrier is naturally acidic (pH ~5.5), so an alkaline soap can be more drying and stripping than pH-balanced syndet cleansers.
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 "blossoms" is a descriptive marketing term for the scent or variant and cannot be verified from the ingredient list.
Market rank + professional endorsement claim — requires independent survey data and clinical evidence to substantiate; cannot be assessed from label data alone.
The claim of "clinically proven mildness" is a marketing claim that cannot be verified from the provided ingredient list or nutrition data.
Tocopheryl Acetate, a form of Vitamin E, is listed in the 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.
