A preservative frequently excluded because it can cause skin reactions or eczema flare-ups in newborns.

A harsh antimicrobial agent that can be overly drying and irritating for daily use on baby skin.
Formaldehyde Releasers
Preservatives that slowly leak formaldehyde, a known carcinogen, to prevent bacterial growth.
