For adults: Lavender extract is usually safe when used on the skin, but some adults can have allergic reactions like redness, itching, or a rash. Most people have no problems, but it is a known skin allergen for some.
If you are an adult using a product with lavender extract: do a small patch test on the inside of your wrist or forearm and wait 24–48 hours before using widely; avoid using it on broken or irritated skin; if you have sensitive skin, eczema, or known fragrance allergies, choose products labeled for sensitive skin or fragrance-free; stop use and wash the area if you notice redness, itching, or swelling. If you are pregnant, breastfeeding, or have severe allergies or asthma, check with your healthcare provider.
