ℹ️General Overview

For children aged 2-5 (toddlers, preschoolers, young kids), chamomile oil used on the skin is usually safe and helpful for soothing. Serious problems are uncommon, but a small number of people have had allergic skin reactions or other isolated concerns in published reports.

What to Do

Use products made for children and use chamomile-containing products as directed. For shampoos and body washes, rinse well. For creams or oils, try a small patch on the child's inner forearm and wait 24 hours before wider use. Stop use and wash off if you see redness, swelling, itching, or a rash. Do not let the child ingest essential oil products. If your child has known allergies to ragweed or related plants, avoid chamomile preparations or ask your pediatrician.

⚠️Warnings

Watch for allergic skin reactions—there are published case reports such as “Allergic contact dermatitis of the nipple from Roman chamomile ointment (1991)”. There are also limited, equivocal reports about possible nervous-system effects (see a 2016 systematic review) and isolated studies noting limited data on pregnancy outcomes. These are rare, but if you notice any skin irritation, breathing changes, or unusual behavior after use, stop and call your pediatrician or seek care. Avoid use on broken or inflamed skin and avoid giving any chamomile oil to the child by mouth.
