Rates 6.7/10 on the rest of its formulation — the cap is a targeted caution, not a problem with the whole product.
Reviewed 5 times · Methodology v3.1 (updated 8 Oct 2026) — what changed
This baby bath product is formulated with mild cleansing agents suitable for delicate skin, but the presence of undisclosed 'Fragrance' is a significant concern for its target audience. While the surfactants are gentle, the lack of transparency regarding fragrance components means potential allergens are not declared, which is particularly problematic for infants and young children who may have sensitive skin or developing allergies. Parents of children with known skin sensitivities or fragrance allergies should exercise caution.

Gentle cleansers, but undisclosed fragrance raises allergy concerns for babies

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.
