2-5 year old preschoolers • Skin contact product
For children ages 2-5 (toddlers and preschoolers), lavender flower extract is generally considered safe when used in normal, child-formulated skin products. Most concerns listed for this ingredient are low, but some kids can have mild skin sensitivity.
Before using a new product with lavender extract, put a small amount on the inside of your child’s forearm and wait 24 hours to check for redness or swelling. Use products made for children, avoid applying to broken skin, and keep creams away from the eyes and mouth. If your child has a history of sensitive skin or eczema, choose fragrance-free options or talk to your pediatrician.
Watch for redness, itching, swelling, or a rash — if any of these appear, stop use and rinse the area. The ingredient listing used here also notes that some product verification programs restrict this ingredient without extra safety documentation; this does not mean common products are unsafe, but it is a regulatory caution from the ingredient listing. Keep concentrated essential oils or undiluted extracts out of reach and do not use them directly on a child’s skin.
