Can older babies use Lavandula Angustifolia Lavender Flower Extract?
ℹ️General Overview
For babies 6–12 months (older infants): lavender flower extract is usually low risk but can sometimes irritate the skin or cause allergic reactions. Many babies tolerate it, but it isn’t necessary for everyday baby skincare.
✅What to Do
If you choose a product with lavender flower extract: 1) do a small patch test on the baby’s inner forearm or behind the ear and wait 24–48 hours before wider use; 2) use only small amounts and avoid the face, eyes, mouth and broken skin; 3) prefer products made for babies or that are fragrance-free; 4) stop use and wash the area if you see redness, rash, swelling, or if your baby becomes unusually fussy; 5) check with your pediatrician before using if your baby has eczema or very sensitive skin.
⚠️Warnings
The ingredient database entry notes a 'Restricted' flag for some product-verification programs (they require documentation to include this ingredient). This is a regulatory/verification detail, not proof of harm, but it means some makers may avoid it. The real day-to-day risks to watch for are skin redness, rash, hives, swelling, increased fussiness, or breathing changes — if any of these occur, stop use and seek medical care. Do not apply to broken skin or open sores, and be extra cautious with infants younger than 6 months.
