Rates 7.4/10 on the rest of its formulation — the cap is a targeted caution, not a problem with the whole product.
Reviewed 6 times · Methodology v3.1 (updated 8 Oct 2026) — what changed
This baby shampoo uses mild surfactants suitable for delicate skin, but the presence of undisclosed 'Fragrance' is a significant concern for a baby product. While the formulation includes beneficial ingredients like Panthenol and Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Extract, these are listed in trace amounts and do not define the product's primary characteristics. The main caution is for infants and young children with sensitive skin or fragrance allergies, due to the potential for undisclosed allergens within the 'Fragrance' component.

Mild surfactants, but undisclosed fragrance raises allergy concerns for babies
This baby shampoo features gentle cleansing agents like Cocamidopropyl Betaine and Decyl Glucoside, which are suitable for sensitive skin. However, the inclusion of 'Fragrance' without specific disclosure means potential allergens are not identified, which is a significant concern for infants and young children with sensitive skin or fragrance allergies. Ingredients like Panthenol and Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Extract are present, but in very small amounts.

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
Contains 'Fragrance' without specific disclosure of individual fragrance allergens, which is a common source of skin sensitization and allergic reactions, especially for sensitive skin and infants. This lack of transparency is a significant concern for a baby product.

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.
