2-5 year old preschoolers • Skin contact product
For toddlers and preschoolers (2–5 years), this plant oil is usually safe to use on the skin and often helps with dryness. Overall risk is low when used in normal amounts.
Before using on your child’s face or a large area, do a small patch test on the arm and wait 24 hours. Use a small amount and avoid putting the oil on open cuts or raw skin. Stop use and rinse with water if you see redness, swelling, or the child seems bothered. Keep the product away from the child’s mouth and eyes.
Watch for skin irritation or an allergic reaction — some reports note mild irritation (source: European chemicals agency). Industry safety reviews mention gaps and recommend using appropriate concentrations and clean manufacturing (source: Cosmetic Ingredient Review). There is one isolated lab test showing a mutation result in cells — this is limited data and not proof of harm at normal use levels, but it supports being cautious (source: U.S. environmental testing records). The ingredient is also used in food in limited ways, so be mindful of multiple exposures (source: U.S. FDA). If your child has sensitive skin, a history of allergies, or you plan long-term or large-area use, check with your pediatrician.
