5+ year old children ⢠Skin contact product
For school-age children (5 years and up), this plant oil is usually safe to use on the skin. Serious health risks are not expected. A small number of kids may get a rash or allergic reaction, especially those who are sensitive to ragweed or similar plants.
Before using on a child, test a small amount on the inside of the arm and wait 24 hours to check for redness or itching. Use only small amounts on healthy skin, avoid the eyes and mouth, and stop use right away if the child develops redness, swelling, itching, or blisters. If a strong reaction occurs, wash the area and contact a doctor. Prefer products where the manufacturer provides safety information and avoid using concentrated essential oils on children.
Avoid this ingredient if your child has known hay-fever or ragweed/plant-pollen allergies ā they are more likely to react. Watch for signs of allergic contact dermatitis (redness, itching, blistering). Also note that some product verification programs restrict use of this ingredient unless safety is documented (source: regulatory reviews including Environment Canada and product guidance).
