2-5 year old preschoolers • Skin contact product
For children aged 2-5 years (toddlers and preschoolers), lavender flower in normal skin products is generally safe. The ingredient has low-level safety notes in the source data, but when it’s included at the small amounts used for fragrance or petals in lotions and soaps the risk is low.
Use products made for children or gentle formulas. Avoid products that list concentrated lavender essential oil or high amounts of fragrance. Before using a new product on a child, put a small amount on the inside of their forearm and watch 24–48 hours for any redness or irritation. Do not apply to broken skin, do not let the child ingest the product, and keep products away from eyes and mouth.
The ingredient safety information provided notes low concerns for allergic reactions and also notes use restrictions by some product verification programs. These are low-level flags but parents should still watch for signs of allergy (rash, redness, itching, swelling, or breathing trouble). If any of those occur, stop use and seek medical attention. Avoid concentrated lavender essential oil on young children and keep all products out of reach.
