Is this toddler-safe to use Lavandula Angustifolia Extract?
ℹ️General Overview
For toddlers (1-2 years), lavender extract in small amounts in lotions or creams is usually okay, but some children can develop skin reactions. It is safer than in newborns but still needs care.
✅What to Do
If you want to use a product with lavender extract on your toddler: choose products made for young children, avoid anything that lists pure lavender essential oil or a high concentration, do a small patch test on a clean area (inner forearm) and wait 24–48 hours to check for redness or bumps, do not put it near the eyes, nose, mouth, or on broken skin, and stop use and see a doctor if a rash, swelling, or breathing problems occur.
⚠️Warnings
There is official guidance that lists lavender extract as a possible skin allergen (see EU Cosmetics Directive), and a European chemicals agency noted limited evidence of skin sensitivity in people (European Chemicals Agency - ECHA). Avoid concentrated lavender oils and do not use products with lavender on children who have eczema or a history of skin allergies without checking with your pediatrician.
