Is this toddler-safe to use Lavandula Angustifolia Lavender Flower Oil?
ℹ️General Overview
For toddlers (1-2 years) lavender flower oil is often low risk, but there are reports it may act like a hormone in some children and it can irritate sensitive skin. Because toddlers are still developing, it's best to be careful.
✅What to Do
If you choose to use a product with lavender on a 1-2 year old: 1) Prefer products where lavender is a small part of a fragrance rather than a pure essential oil. 2) Never apply undiluted essential oil to a toddler's skin. 3) Do a small patch test on the inner arm and wait 24–48 hours. 4) Avoid putting it near the face, mouth, or broken skin. 5) Use it rarely rather than daily, and stop use if you see any redness, rash, swelling, or other changes. 6) Keep all essential oils out of reach and never allow a child to ingest them.
⚠️Warnings
Watch for skin redness, rash, swelling, or any unusual breast tissue growth. The hormone-related concern comes from a published report: "Lavender Products Associated With Premature Thelarche and Prepubertal Gynecomastia: Case Reports and Endocrine-Disrupting Chemical Activities (2019-11-01)". Also note that some product-safety verification programs restrict this ingredient unless manufacturers provide adequate safety testing. If you see any worrying signs, stop use and talk with your child’s pediatrician.
