2-5 year old preschoolers • Skin contact product
For children 2–5 years old (toddlers and preschoolers), this eucalyptus leaf extract is generally low risk in the small amounts used in most skin products. A few children can get skin irritation or breathing irritation, especially from strong, concentrated products or if it gets near the nose or mouth.
Use only products made for kids or those that list low concentrations. Don’t use concentrated eucalyptus oils or rubs on a child’s face, chest, or near their nose. Do a small patch test on the child’s inner forearm and wait 24 hours before using more widely. Stop use if skin becomes red, itchy, or swollen and rinse the area with water. If your child has coughing, wheeze, or trouble breathing after use, remove the product and seek medical help.
Watch for skin redness, swelling, itching, eye irritation, coughing, wheezing, or breathing trouble. These concerns come from safety reviews by the European Chemicals Agency and the Cosmetic Ingredient Review, which note limited evidence of skin irritation and that safe use may depend on concentration or limits. Also be aware some product certification programs restrict this ingredient unless manufacturers provide safety data.
