Read the original editorial assessment
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
| Material or ingredient | What it is | Concern level | Why it's flagged here |
|---|---|---|---|
| Hydroxyacetophenone | Hydroxyacetophenone (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 context | A newer preservative with a favorable safety review but limited infant-specific data. A caution-level consideration under our standard, not a listed disqualifier. |

| USDA Certified Biobased | Certifies a minimum bio-based content percentage — a sourcing measure, not a safety test. |
| Nordic Swan Ecolabel | A Nordic multi-criteria ecolabel covering environmental impact and chemical content across a product's lifecycle. |
| Asthma Allergy Nordic | A Nordic certification for products reviewed as suitable for people with asthma or allergies. |
| FSC | Certifies the wood/pulp source as responsibly managed forestry — a sourcing standard, not a chemical-safety test. |
| OEKO-TEX Standard 100 | Tests textiles against a defined list of harmful substances. |

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.
