Safe for preschoolers to use Rosemary?
ℹ️General Overview
For toddlers and young children (2–5 years: toddlers, young children, little kids), rosemary in the small amounts normally used in creams, shampoos, or soaps is usually safe. It shows low concern for long-term health problems and is approved in limited amounts for food use by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration.
✅What to Do
Use products made for children or standard rinse-off products that list rosemary. Do not put undiluted rosemary essential oil on a child’s skin. If you try a new product, do a patch test: put a small amount on the inside of the child’s forearm, leave it uncovered, and check after 24 hours for any redness or swelling. Avoid putting products near the child’s eyes, mouth, or on broken skin.
⚠️Warnings
Watch for redness, rash, swelling, or any breathing difficulty — stop use and rinse with water and get medical help if breathing problems occur. Avoid undiluted rosemary essential oil and strong extracts on young children and do not apply to broken or irritated skin. The statement that rosemary is allowed in small amounts in food comes from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, which supports that low exposures are unlikely to cause systemic harm.
