ℹ️General Overview
For school-age children (5 years and older) this oil is not usually dangerous, but it can cause skin allergies or irritation. Most problems are allergic reactions, not poisoning.
✅What to Do
If you plan to use a product with this oil on a child aged 5+, do a small patch test on the inner forearm and wait 24 hours. If there’s no redness, swelling, itching or rash, use a well-diluted product (very small amount mixed into a carrier like lotion). Avoid applying near the eyes, mouth, or broken skin. Prefer products labeled fragrance-free for everyday use. Stop use and wash the area if any irritation appears.
⚠️Warnings
Watch for allergic reactions (redness, itching, hives, swelling) — a number of safety bodies list this oil as a known allergen (sources: EU Cosmetics Directive and International Fragrance Association). Limited evidence of skin irritation is noted by the European Chemicals Agency. Some certification programs restrict its use in verified products. If a child has eczema, known fragrance sensitivities, or reacts after a patch test, avoid this ingredient and consider seeing a doctor for severe reactions (difficulty breathing or swelling).
