ℹ️General Overview
For children 5 years and older (school-age kids), black cumin seed oil used on the skin is generally safe. Reviews of the ingredient show low concerns for cancer, allergies, or effects on growth and reproduction.
✅What to Do
Use products that already contain the oil at low concentrations rather than applying pure oil directly. Do a small patch test on the child’s inner forearm and wait 24–48 hours before wider use. Avoid getting the oil near the eyes or on sore or broken skin. If the child has very sensitive skin or a history of allergies, check with your pediatrician first.
⚠️Warnings
Stop use and rinse with water if you see redness, swelling, itching, blistering, or any new rash. Keep products containing this oil out of reach of younger children to avoid accidental swallowing.
