Is this toddler-safe to use Frankincense Oil?
ℹ️General Overview
For toddlers (1-2 years) frankincense oil is generally low risk in formal reviews, but because it is a concentrated essential oil it can irritate sensitive skin or cause an allergic reaction. Keep in mind this is about one ingredient by itself.
✅What to Do
If you want to use a product with frankincense on a toddler: choose products made for young children, do a small patch test on the arm and wait 24 hours, never put the oil undiluted on the skin, avoid the face and hands (mouth/eyes), keep all oils out of reach, and stop use at the first sign of redness, rash, breathing changes or irritation. If your child has eczema, asthma, or very sensitive skin, talk with your pediatrician before using products with essential oils.
⚠️Warnings
Avoid undiluted application and do not let the child ingest the oil (FDA notes limited data when used as a food additive). Watch for skin redness, swelling, rash, breathing changes, or unusual fussiness and stop use if these occur. Environment Canada classifies the ingredient as low human health priority but also flags potential environmental toxicity—dispose of leftover oil carefully and do not pour large amounts down drains. If you see any signs of a reaction, contact your pediatrician or poison control.
