Is this kid-friendly to use Marula Oil?
ℹ️General Overview
For children 5 years and older, marula oil is generally safe to use on the skin. It is a natural plant oil used to moisturize and most kids tolerate it well.
✅What to Do
Do a small patch test first: put one drop on the inside of your child's forearm and wait 24 hours. If there is no redness, itching, or swelling, you can use a small amount as a moisturizer or massage oil. Apply sparingly, avoid the eyes and mouth, and do not use on broken or sore skin. If your child has known plant or nut allergies, check with your pediatrician before use.
⚠️Warnings
The ingredient safety database notes low concerns for cancer, allergies, and developmental/reproductive effects, so those are not major risks. However, contact allergies or irritation can still occur in rare cases. Stop use and wash the area if you see redness, rash, swelling, blisters, or if your child has trouble breathing. Seek medical care for severe reactions. Do not apply to open wounds or irritated skin.
