Safe for preschoolers to use Juniperus Mexicana Oil?
ℹ️General Overview
For children aged 2–5 (toddlers and preschoolers), this oil is unlikely to be dangerous at the low levels found in regular shampoos or body washes, but it can cause skin, eye, or breathing irritation in some kids. It is safer when used in products made for children and when not used undiluted.
✅What to Do
Choose products formulated for kids that list the oil at low concentration. Do not put the neat (undiluted) oil directly on a child’s skin. If you want to test a product, do a small patch test on the inside of the forearm first and wait 24 hours. Keep products away from the eyes, nose and mouth. Use sparingly and rinse thoroughly after bathing.
⚠️Warnings
Stop use and wash the area if you see redness, rash, swelling, or if the child coughs or has trouble breathing. Regulators (Environment Canada and the European Chemicals Agency) report limited evidence of skin, eye or respiratory irritation and some concerns about organ toxicity at higher exposures — this is why you should avoid concentrated oil and watch for irritation. Also avoid using on broken skin and avoid applying near the face or hands infants/toddlers can put in their mouth.
