Is this safe for 0-6 month old newborns to use Lavandula Angustifolia Flower?
ℹ️General Overview
For newborns and babies 0–6 months, lavender flower is generally low risk in safety databases, but it can still irritate sensitive baby skin or cause an allergic reaction. Because infants have very delicate skin and breathing systems, it’s safest to avoid putting lavender directly on their skin unless a product is specifically made for babies.
✅What to Do
If you need to use a product that contains lavender flower: use only products labeled for infants, do not use essential oils or concentrated lavender, avoid putting it near the baby’s face or hands, test the product on an adult’s inner forearm first and wait 24 hours, and if you do apply a tiny amount to the baby, watch that spot for redness or rash for at least a day.
⚠️Warnings
The supplied ingredient data notes low concerns overall but also shows a ‘restricted’ status for some product certifications—this is the source of the caution. Do not use undiluted lavender oil or strong lavender products on infants. Stop use and contact your pediatrician if you see redness, swelling, blistering, rash, fussiness after application, or any breathing changes. Keep all lavender products out of reach and do not let babies mouth products containing lavender.
