1-2 year old toddlers • Skin contact product
For 1-2 year olds (toddlers) this oil can cause skin allergies and breathing irritation. It is not considered safe to use undiluted on young children and should be treated with caution in products for toddlers.
Use only products specifically made and labelled for young children that include this ingredient. Never apply concentrated eucalyptus oil directly to a toddler’s skin. Do a small patch test on the inner forearm and wait 24 hours before wider use. Keep any product away from the child’s face, nose and mouth. If you’re unsure, ask your pediatrician before using a product with this ingredient.
Do not use undiluted eucalyptus oil on toddlers and avoid application near the nose or mouth — Health Canada has restrictions on its cosmetic use. Watch for skin redness, rash, swelling, or breathing changes; European Chemicals Agency and other expert reviews report possible skin irritation and allergic reactions. Also be aware experts have noted this oil can increase skin absorption of other substances (Cosmetic Ingredient Review). If you see breathing difficulty, drowsiness, persistent vomiting, or a spreading rash after exposure, seek medical care right away.
