Safe for preschoolers to use Lavandula Angustifolia Lavender Flower Oil?
ℹ️General Overview
For toddlers and preschoolers (2–5 years), lavender flower oil is usually low risk but deserves caution. It can sometimes irritate sensitive skin and there are a few reports that link lavender to hormone-related changes in young children.
✅What to Do
If you use products with lavender oil on a 2–5 year old: choose products made for children, avoid pure undiluted essential oil on their skin, do a small patch test first, use sparingly (not every day for long periods), keep it away from the face and eyes, and stop use if you see redness, rashes, or unusual breast or nipple swelling.
⚠️Warnings
Watch for skin redness, rashes, or any unusual breast tissue changes. The hormone-related concern comes from case reports and studies (see: "Lavender Products Associated With Premature Thelarche and Prepubertal Gynecomastia: Case Reports and Endocrine-Disrupting Chemical Activities (2019-11-01)"). Also note some product certification programs restrict this ingredient unless a manufacturer provides safety data — look for clear labeling and safety information from the brand.
