Is this safe for 0-6 month old newborns to use Lavandula Hybrida Oil?
ā¹ļøGeneral Overview
For newborns and babies 0ā6 months, avoid using Lavandula Hybrida Oil on the skin. While adults usually tolerate small amounts, babies have very sensitive skin and there is some evidence that lavender-type oils can act like hormones in rare cases.
ā What to Do
Do not apply products containing this oil directly to infants under 6 months. If a product containing this oil is present in the home (diffusers, lotions), keep it away from the baby and avoid strong smells near their face. For older babies ask your pediatrician before use. If a product is used (for older children/adults), dilute it heavily, do a small patch test on older child skin first, and stop if any redness, rash, coughing or breathing changes occur.
ā ļøWarnings
A 2019 case report and laboratory study linked some lavender-type products with hormone-like activity (estrogenic effects) in children ā this is the main reason to avoid use on infants. Also watch for skin redness, rash, swelling, or breathing changes after exposure; these are signs of irritation or allergy. Some safety programs restrict this ingredient unless safety is proven, and it has been used as a flavoring or additive in some products despite limited safety data ā do not give any product containing this oil to babies by mouth.
