1-2 year old toddlers • Skin contact product
For toddlers (1–2 years), rosemary used in small amounts in regular baby or children’s skin products is usually low risk. Most toddlers won’t have problems, but those with sensitive skin might get mild irritation.
Choose products made for babies or young children that list rosemary in low amounts. Before using on larger areas, do a patch test on the inside of the arm and wait 24 hours. Never put undiluted rosemary essential oil or very strong rosemary extracts on a toddler’s skin. Keep products away from the child’s eyes, mouth, nose, and any cuts or broken skin.
Watch for redness, rash, swelling, itching, or any breathing trouble after using a product with rosemary and stop use if these happen. The safety review found low overall concerns, and the U.S. Food and Drug Administration lists rosemary as safe for limited use in food, but irritation or allergy can still occur in some children.
