Safe for preschoolers to use Cedarwood Oil?
ℹ️General Overview
For toddlers and preschoolers (ages 2–5), cedarwood oil is usually low risk but can sometimes irritate the skin, eyes or airways. It is not recommended to put the pure oil on young children.
✅What to Do
Use only products already diluted and labeled for children. Never put undiluted cedarwood oil on a child’s skin or near their face. Do a small patch test on the inner forearm and wait 24 hours to check for redness or rash. If you want to use it in a diffuser, keep the room well ventilated and run it for short periods while watching your child. Keep all essential oils locked away and out of reach.
⚠️Warnings
Watch for skin redness, rash, watery eyes, coughing, wheezing or any breathing changes. European Chemicals Agency (ECHA) lists limited evidence of skin, eye and respiratory irritation, and Environment Canada has noted possible organ-system concerns and environmental effects. Also be aware some product-safety programs restrict this ingredient unless the maker provides extra safety data. If your child has asthma or a history of allergies, avoid using cedarwood oil and talk with your pediatrician before use. Seek medical help if breathing problems or a severe reaction occurs.
