Can older babies use Lavandula Stoechas Oil?
ℹ️General Overview
For babies 6–12 months: French lavender oil can irritate sensitive skin and there are a few reports linking lavender products to hormone changes in young children. Because of this, it’s safer to be cautious with any lavender on babies.
✅What to Do
Prefer products made for babies that list safe, low concentrations. Do not put pure (undiluted) lavender oil on your baby. Avoid leave-on lavender products; if you use a lavender-scented baby shampoo or wash, rinse it off thoroughly. Keep products away from the baby’s face, hands, chest and diaper area. If you try a new product, do a small patch test on a tiny area of skin and wait 24 hours to watch for redness or rash.
⚠️Warnings
Watch for skin redness, rash, swelling, or any unusual changes in breast tissue or body that concern you. A published case report titled "Lavender Products Associated With Premature Thelarche and Prepubertal Gynecomastia: Case Reports and Endocrine-Disrupting Chemical Activities (2019)" linked repeated topical lavender use with hormone-related changes in children — this is the reason for extra caution. Also note that some product standards restrict this ingredient unless justified. If you see any reaction or unusual changes, stop use and contact your pediatrician.
