1-2 year old toddlers • Skin contact product
For toddlers (1–2 years) this oil is usually low concern, but it can cause skin, eye or breathing irritation in some children. Because young children have more sensitive skin and airways, we treat essential oils more cautiously for babies and toddlers.
If a product lists Juniperus Mexicana Oil, choose a formula made for children and that lists a low concentration. Prefer rinse-off products like mild shampoos and body washes over leave-on oils or lotions. Do a small patch test on a tiny area of the child’s inner forearm and wait 24 hours before regular use. Avoid applying near the face, nose or mouth, rinse well, and stop using if you see redness, rash, swelling, coughing or breathing changes. Keep products out of reach and ask your child’s pediatrician if you’re unsure.
Some official sources (Environment Canada and the European Chemicals Agency) note limited evidence of skin, eye and respiratory irritation and one source lists possible non-reproductive organ toxicity. Because of these findings, avoid using undiluted essential oil on toddlers, avoid strong fragrances around their face and airways, and discontinue use and consult a doctor if your child develops irritation, rash, persistent cough or breathing difficulty.
