Is this kid-friendly to use Eucalyptus Globulus Leaf Oil?
ℹ️General Overview
For children 5 years and older, eucalyptus leaf oil can cause skin allergies and irritation in some kids. It’s less risky than for babies and toddlers, but still not completely risk-free.
✅What to Do
Use products that are already formulated for children rather than pure eucalyptus oil. If a product lists eucalyptus oil, choose one made for kids, use only a small amount, and avoid applying it near the nose, mouth or eyes. Do a small patch test on the inner arm and wait 24 hours before wider use. If your child has asthma or a history of strong allergies, check with your pediatrician before use.
⚠️Warnings
Avoid pure or highly concentrated eucalyptus oil on a child’s skin or for steam/inhalation. Some government bodies and expert reviewers note this ingredient can be an allergen and restrict or limit its use in cosmetics (sources include the EU Cosmetics Directive and Health Canada). Other agencies have reported cases of skin irritation and allergic reactions (references: ECHA, Cosmetic Ingredient Review). Stop use and seek medical advice if you see rash, swelling, breathing changes, or eye irritation.
