2-5 year old preschoolers • Skin contact product
For toddlers and young children (2–5 years), lavender extract in small amounts in creams or lotions is usually okay, but some kids can get skin allergies or irritation. Avoid strong lavender oils or undiluted extracts.
Use products made for children or labeled gentle. Do a small patch test on the inside of the forearm and wait 24 hours before using more widely. Don’t put products with lavender on broken skin, near the eyes, or in the mouth. If your child has eczema, asthma, or a history of skin reactions, choose fragrance-free options. Stop use and talk to your pediatrician if redness, itching, swelling, or breathing changes happen.
