6-12 month old babies • Skin contact product
For babies 6–12 months (infants), lavandin oil should be treated with caution. It can cause skin irritation and, in some reports, lavender-type products showed hormone-like activity in children. Because babies are more sensitive, it's safer to avoid regular use.
If you want to use it: avoid routine or daily use on infants. Do not put undiluted oil on a baby’s skin. Prefer unscented products for everyday use. If used at all, apply a very small, well-diluted amount to a small patch of skin away from the face (for example, the forearm), wait 24 hours to watch for any reaction, and avoid the diaper area and broken skin. Stop immediately if you see redness, a rash, fussiness, or breathing changes. Talk to your pediatrician before using any essential oils on babies.
Study reports and laboratory work have linked lavender-type products to hormone-like activity in children (see: "Lavender Products Associated With Premature Thelarche and Prepubertal Gynecomastia: Case Reports and Endocrine-Disrupting Chemical Activities" 2019). Also, regulatory notes indicate this oil can appear in food or additives, which raises the chance of multiple exposures (US FDA reference). Because of these findings and the chance of skin allergy, avoid regular topical use on infants and contact a pediatrician if you have concerns.
