Is this toddler-safe to use Thyme Extract?
ℹ️General Overview
For toddlers (1–2 years), thyme extract is usually low risk in small amounts, but some children can get skin irritation or allergic rashes. Because younger children have more sensitive skin than older kids, we recommend being careful.
✅What to Do
Use products made for toddlers, not concentrated thyme oil. Do a small patch test: put a tiny amount on the inside of the forearm and wait 24–48 hours. If no redness or irritation appears, you can use as directed. Avoid the face, eyes, mouth and broken skin. Stop use immediately if you see redness, swelling, blisters or any unusual reaction and talk with your child’s doctor.
⚠️Warnings
Watch for allergic skin reactions — this is the main concern (noted by the EU Cosmetics Directive and supported by the European Chemicals Agency). Also be aware this plant can appear in foods and other products, so your child might get exposed in more than one way (noted by national food safety authorities). Avoid products that list concentrated thyme oil, absolutes, or ‘fragrance’ with thyme if your child has a history of plant or fragrance allergies.
