0-6 month old newborns • Skin contact product
For newborns and infants under 6 months, this oil is best avoided. There is some evidence it can irritate skin, eyes, or lungs and one authority lists possible harmful effects on body organs. Babies’ skin and bodies are more sensitive, so we should be extra careful.
Do not put products containing this oil on babies under 6 months. If you think a product containing it touched your baby’s skin, wash with mild soap and water. If you see redness, swelling, a rash, or any breathing change, call your pediatrician or get medical care. For older children, only use products specifically formulated for them and at very low concentrations after a patch test.
Reports from Environment Canada and the European Chemicals Agency note limited evidence of skin, eye and respiratory irritation and a classification indicating possible organ-system harm. Avoid applying this oil near baby’s face, avoid inhalation (no diffusers near sleeping infants), and keep all essential-oil products out of reach. If any irritation or unusual symptoms appear, seek medical advice.
