Can older babies use Eucalyptus Globulus Leaf Oil?
ℹ️General Overview
Eucalyptus oil can cause skin and breathing problems in babies 6–12 months. It’s linked to allergic reactions and is restricted by some health authorities, so it’s not a safe everyday ingredient for babies.
✅What to Do
Do not use products that contain eucalyptus leaf/twig oil on babies 6–12 months. Avoid rubs, chest ointments, or strong-smelling lotions with eucalyptus near your baby’s face or bedding. If you need a soothing product, choose items specifically labeled safe for infants and fragrance-free. If you do encounter a product with eucalyptus, keep it away from baby’s skin and nose and do not use it on or near the face.
⚠️Warnings
Watch for redness, rash, coughing, wheeze, difficulty breathing, or any unusual fussiness after exposure. Stop use immediately and seek medical help if breathing changes occur. These warnings come from safety and regulatory reviews (Health Canada has use restrictions; the European Chemicals Agency and other cosmetic safety reviews report possible skin irritation and allergic effects).
