2-5 year old preschoolers • Skin contact product
For kids aged 2–5 (preschoolers), Artemisia vulgaris oil is generally low hazard overall, but it can irritate sensitive skin. In properly made, diluted products for children it is likely safe, but avoid using the pure oil directly on a child’s skin.
Use only products that are made for or tested on children; do a small patch test on the inside of the elbow and wait 24 hours to check for redness or rash; never put undiluted oil on a child’s skin; keep the product away from the child’s eyes and mouth; store out of reach.
Some product certification programs restrict this ingredient unless there is extra safety data — choose children’s formulas or certified products. Environment Canada notes the ingredient is not expected to be toxic, but local skin reactions are still possible. Stop use and seek medical advice if you see persistent redness, swelling, blisters, or any breathing difficulty after contact.
