The Honest Company Disney Pixar's Toy Story Face and Body Lotion
Lower concern, typical cosmetic lotion with no known PFAS drivers, but brand offers no explicit transparency.
Face and body lotions rarely contain PFAS because they lack water-resistance, non-stick, or stain-resistant coatings that typically require fluorochemicals. The Honest Company markets general safety and clean ingredients but does not publicly disclose PFAS testing or claims. No third-party PFAS verification is evident for this product.

The full breakdown
What it's made of and why it matters
This is a water-based emulsion lotion, the safest formulation type for infant skin. The core ingredients (water, glycerin, plant emollients) are standard, low-risk moisturizers with no known skin irritants at typical concentrations. The fragrance blend is a Disney licensed addition, proprietary fragrance compounds that Honest Company has historically disclosed to safety standards, though the specific aroma chemicals remain undisclosed per industry norms. No heavy occlusives, silicones, or problematic preservative systems are listed on available product information.
The brand's record and disclosure
The Honest Company has built its market position on transparency and safety certifications (EWG verification, pediatrician endorsement, no phthalates/parabens/synthetic fragrances policy stated since founding). The brand has faced no major recalls or regulatory actions on lotion products in public records. However, the company does not publish third-party fragrance ingredient breakdowns, which is typical but limits full traceability of the Disney-branded scent components. Certified cruelty-free and hypoallergenic formulations are standard across their lotion line.
How it compares in its category
Baby lotions occupy a heavily regulated category with generally high safety standards across major brands. Honest Company's water-based approach is mainstream and safer than oil-heavy alternatives that can trap heat on skin. Compared to mass-market competitors (Johnson & Johnson, Cetaphil baby lines), Honest Company aligns with premium safety positioning but at higher price; fragrance-free or hypoallergenic variants from competing brands offer marginally lower allergen risk if scent sensitivity is a concern. Licensed character branding (Disney) adds no chemical risk but does increase cost.
If you buy it
Apply to damp skin immediately after bath for optimal absorption; do not overapply on neck or fold areas where moisture can accumulate. Store in cool, dry conditions away from direct sunlight; discard if separation, color change, or odor develops (typical shelf life 12-18 months after opening). Patch-test on small area first if infant has sensitive or eczema-prone skin, as fragrance can irritate even hypoallergenic formulations in rare cases. Ensure bottle cap seals fully to prevent bacterial contamination during storage.
Beyond PFAS: other things we checked
Established hazard classes for this product type, assessed from public information. These never change the PFAS grade; a Likely flag caps the Verdict at “Buy with care.”
Fragrance allergens (undisclosed proprietary blend)
The specific aromatic compounds in the Disney-licensed scent are not publicly listed; while Honest Company excludes known problematic fragrance chemicals, some infants with atopic dermatitis may react to fragrance components. Risk is low but not eliminable without ingredient transparency.
Formaldehyde releasers in preservatives
Honest Company's stated no-paraben, no-synthetic-fragrance policy typically extends to avoiding formaldehyde-releasing preservatives; no recalls or reports of formaldehyde issues in their lotion lines are on public record.
Heavy metals in colorants
Baby lotion products do not typically use pigments or colorants that carry heavy metal contamination risk; this product is standard water-based clear or lightly tinted formulation with no known cadmium, lead, or antimony sources.
Bacterial growth in packaging
Water-based lotions are susceptible to microbial contamination if pump or container is contaminated post-opening or if product sits in warm, damp bathrooms. Risk is manageable with proper cap closure and typical storage practices.
1,4-dioxane (secondary contaminant in ethoxylated ingredients)
If the lotion contains ethoxylated emollients, trace 1,4-dioxane could theoretically be present as a byproduct; Honest Company's quality standards and EWG verification suggest any such contamination would fall below infant safety thresholds, but the company does not publish dioxane testing results.
What we don’t know
This grade is a model-based estimate from public materials, coatings, and brand disclosure at 72% confidence. It is not a lab result.
No independent PFAS lab test is on record for this exact product. A lab test could move the score in either direction.
The brand has not made a specific, verifiable PFAS-free statement, so part of this score reflects that missing disclosure rather than a confirmed material.
Formulations and coatings change between production runs. Always check the current label before buying.
