Is this kid-friendly to use Lavandula Hybrida Oil?
ℹ️General Overview
For children aged 5 and older (school-age children), lavandin (Lavandula Hybrida) oil used in small amounts in finished products is usually low risk. However, there are limited reports suggesting lavender-type oils may sometimes act like hormones in young children, so use them with caution.
✅What to Do
Use products that list this oil only as directed. Never apply undiluted essential oil to a child’s skin — always use finished products formulated for children or dilute well. Do a patch test on a small area (inner forearm) and wait 24 hours before wider use. Avoid using on broken or irritated skin, keep products away from the eyes and mouth, and do not give products to a child to eat. Limit how many different products with lavender/lavandin you use so total exposure stays low.
⚠️Warnings
Stop use and see a pediatrician if your child develops skin redness or a rash after use. Be alert for unusual breast swelling or early breast development in girls or breast tissue in boys — a 2019 case-report study linked lavender-type products to these rare effects. Also note national food safety sources indicate this ingredient can appear in food or additives, so avoid ingestion and check labels to prevent multiple sources of exposure.
