YES - Generally Safe
Danger Score: 1 (Lower is safer)
Quick Answer: Amyris Balsamifera Bark Oil is generally considered safe for 5+ year old children when used in topical products. Kids may have different tolerance levels.

ℹ️General Overview

For children 5 years and older (kids, school-age children, young children), this plant-derived scent oil is generally low risk when it’s part of regular skin products like lotions or shampoos. Most safety checks find only low concerns.

✅What to Do

Use products that already include this oil at normal dilution (leave the formulation to the product maker). Do a small patch test on the child’s inner arm and wait 24 hours before wider use. Don’t put the oil undiluted on skin, and avoid the face, broken skin, mouth and eyes.

⚠️Warnings

Watch for any redness, rash, itching or swelling. If you see a reaction, stop use and wash the area, and consider seeing a doctor. Note: government safety lists (Environment Canada and the U.S. Food and Drug Administration) mention limited toxicity data and gave low-to-moderate flags for non-reproductive organ effects and for use in food, so avoid concentrated or frequent exposure and keep products out of reach of younger children.

Safety Risk Labels

This ingredient has the following documented risks:

Organ Risk: A Canadian health agency listed this oil as a medium human-health priority for non-reproductive organ effects. That means there is some official concern it could affect organs (like liver or kidneys) with repeated exposure. Another review from the same agency said it was not expected to be toxic, so the findings are mixed but there is enough concern to flag organ risk.
Long-Term Risk: A U.S. food authority notes this oil is used in food or as a food additive and is allowed for limited uses. Because people can meet it from more than one source (for example, food plus skin products), small exposures can add up over time. This raises a low-to-moderate concern for long-term, repeated exposure.
