Good / Caution / Avoid

Caution
  • Hydroxyacetophenone is disclosed; infant-specific evidence remains limited in this review.

  • Five certification listings cover several different criteria.
  • The cited 30-compound PFAS panel reported non-detect.

Verdict: Caution.

A short 5-ingredient list with no phenoxyethanol. Contains hydroxyacetophenone, a newer preservative with a favorable safety review but limited infant-specific data — see our entry. Confirmed USDA Certified Biobased status. Non-detect for PFAS in Consumer Reports' June 2026 testing. Certified Nordic Swan Ecolabel, Asthma Allergy Nordic, FSC, and OEKO-TEX Standard 100 — not, as sometimes described, the US National Eczema Association's Seal, which is a different certification this product doesn't carry.

Materials & ingredients

Factors flagged in the editorial review.

Material or ingredientWhat it isConcern levelWhy it's flagged here
HydroxyacetophenoneHydroxyacetophenone (4'-hydroxyacetophenone, CAS 99-93-4) is a phenolic compound, structurally related to acetophenone, used in cosmetics and personal-care products as an antioxidant, skin-conditioning agent, and 'preservative booster' — it doesn't reliably kill microbes on its own but enhances the effectiveness of other preservatives (like phenoxyethanol or organic acids) so formulators can use less of them.Depends on contextA newer preservative with a favorable safety review but limited infant-specific data. A caution-level consideration under our standard, not a listed disqualifier.

What the evidence tells us

The review links Consumer Reports’ June 2026 testing. Its panel examined 30 named PFAS compounds; a non-detect result applies to that panel and its tested samples, not to every PFAS or every future batch.

What's still uncertain

  • Match the reviewed formula to your package; a test does not cover every batch.
  • Hydroxyacetophenone is disclosed; infant-specific evidence remains limited in this review.
  • Certification scopes differ. None is a guarantee that a product will suit every child.
