6-12 month old babies • Skin contact product
For a 6-12 month old baby (infant), lavender flower extract is usually low risk in small amounts in baby skincare, but some babies can get skin redness or an allergic reaction.
Choose products made for babies, do a small patch test on the inside of your baby's forearm and wait 24 hours before wider use, use only a small amount on intact skin, keep products away from your baby's eyes, nose and mouth, and never use concentrated lavender oil. If your baby shows any redness, rash, swelling, or breathing changes, stop use and contact your pediatrician.
