1-2 year old toddlers • Skin contact product
For toddlers (1-2 years) lavender flower extract is generally low risk when used in regular skin care products. Most children won’t have problems, but a small number can get redness or irritation.
Use products made for toddlers or children, and apply a small amount first. Do a patch test: put a tiny dab on the inside of the forearm and wait 24–48 hours to check for redness or itching. Avoid using on broken or sore skin and don’t use concentrated lavender oil or undiluted extracts directly on your child.
A recognized ingredient database flags low-level concerns for skin allergies and notes some product-standards restrict use without safety substantiation. Watch for redness, itching, bumps, swelling or any change in behavior after application. If you see a reaction, stop use and talk to your child’s pediatrician. Also avoid using products with this extract together with other fragranced products on the same area to reduce chance of irritation.
