✅What to Do
If you choose to use it on a child 5+ years: always dilute the oil well in a carrier (do not apply undiluted), do a small patch test on the inside of the forearm and wait 24–48 hours, use only a small amount and avoid the face/eyes and broken skin, stop use immediately if you see redness, rash, swelling or if the child has trouble breathing, and talk to your pediatrician before use if your child has eczema or asthma.
