5+ year old children • Skin contact product
For children 5 years and older this oil is usually low risk when used in small amounts or in products made for kids, but it can irritate skin, eyes or breathing in some people.
Use products that already contain this oil at low concentrations (especially rinse-off products). Never put the pure oil directly on a child’s skin. Do a small patch test on the inside of the forearm and wait 24 hours; stop use if you see redness, itching or swelling. Keep products away from the eyes, mouth and broken skin. If your child has asthma or breathing problems, avoid using the oil in strong vapors or concentrated sprays.
There is limited evidence of skin, eye and respiratory irritation (reported by the European Chemicals Agency) and one agency (Environment Canada) has noted possible non-reproductive organ-system harm and environmental toxicity. Do not use undiluted essential oil on children, avoid inhaling concentrated vapors, and stop use and seek medical care if your child has breathing difficulty, severe swelling, hives, or other signs of a serious reaction.
