1-2 year old toddlers • Skin contact product
For toddlers (1-2 years): lavandin oil can be useful in fragranced products but may irritate sensitive skin and, in a few reported cases, has behaved like a hormone-like substance. It is safer to be cautious with little ones.
If you choose to use a product that contains this oil on a toddler: only use products made for young children or those that list a safe, low concentration; never apply the pure oil directly to your child’s skin; do a small patch test on the inside of the forearm and wait 24 hours; avoid the face, chest and genital area; don’t use on broken or irritated skin; use sparingly and not every day; keep products out of reach.
Watch for redness, rash, swelling, itching, or any breathing changes — stop use and contact a doctor if these occur. Note: a 2019 case report/study observed possible estrogen-like effects in some children exposed to lavender-type products, and some product verification programs restrict this ingredient unless justified. Also be aware the oil may appear in foods or additives with limited toxicity information, so avoid accidental ingestion.
