5+ year old children β’ Skin contact product
For children 5 years and older (school-age kids, tweens, teens), eucalyptus leaf extract is usually safe to use on the skin. Most safety reviews find only a small chance of mild irritation or allergy when used at normal concentrations.
Do a small patch test first: put a tiny amount on the inside of the forearm and wait 24 hours. Use products made for kids or follow the product directions and avoid high-strength formulations. Donβt put it on broken or sore skin, and keep it away from the eyes, nose and mouth. If your child gets redness, itching, or any breathing change, stop use and contact your pediatrician.
Watch for skin redness, itching, stinging, or swelling β safety panels (Cosmetic Ingredient Review) and the European Chemicals Agency report limited evidence of irritation. Avoid strong eucalyptus oils or inhalation of large amounts around children, and do not use products intended for adults at full strength on kids. If you see any breathing trouble, seek medical help right away.
