2-5 year old preschoolers • Skin contact product
For children aged 2-5 (toddlers and preschoolers), lavender flower extract in small amounts in skin products is usually safe. It has a low safety concern overall, but a few children may get mild skin reactions.
Use products that list low amounts of lavender extract and never apply undiluted lavender oil to a child’s skin. Do a small patch test on the inside of the forearm before using a new product over larger areas. Avoid putting it on broken or sore skin. Choose well-formulated children's products and follow the product’s instructions.
Watch for redness, itching, swelling, or a rash after applying a product that contains lavender flower extract — stop use if these happen and speak with your child’s doctor. Also be aware that some product verification programs restrict this ingredient unless manufacturers provide safety documentation; this review used the ingredient safety data provided for guidance.
