5+ year old children • Skin contact product
For school-age children (5 years and up), lavender flower extract is generally low risk when used on the skin in normal consumer products. Serious problems are uncommon.
Use products made for kids when possible, apply only a small amount, and do a patch test on a small area (inside forearm) and wait 24 hours before wider use. Avoid applying to broken skin or near the eyes and mouth. If your child has very sensitive skin, eczema, or a history of allergies, pick fragrance-free or child-formulated products and check with your pediatrician if unsure.
Watch for redness, swelling, itching, or a rash after first use — those signs mean stop use and rinse the area. The ingredient safety database notes that some product verification programs restrict this ingredient unless manufacturers provide safety documentation; prefer reputable brands that disclose ingredient safety. If you see severe swelling, trouble breathing, or signs of a serious allergic reaction, seek emergency care right away.
