ℹ️General Overview
For children aged 5 and up (school-age kids), lavender extract on the skin is usually okay but it can cause allergic skin reactions in some children.
✅What to Do
Before using a new product with lavender: do a small patch test on the child’s inner forearm and wait 24–48 hours for any reaction. Use the product only on unbroken skin and avoid the face and eye area at first. Start with a small amount. Stop use right away if you see redness, itching, bumps, or swelling.
⚠️Warnings
Watch for signs of a skin allergy (redness, itching, hives, swelling). The warning about allergic reactions comes from regulatory sources that list lavender as a possible human allergen (see EU Cosmetics Directive and the European Chemicals Agency). Also note some product-certification programs restrict this ingredient unless makers provide safety data — that means some safer-certified products avoid it unless documented safe.
