For adults and grown-ups, lavender oil used on the skin is generally safe when properly diluted. Most people tolerate it well, but it can cause skin irritation or allergic reactions in some.
Do a small skin patch test first. Use the oil diluted in a carrier oil or in a finished product rather than applying it neat (pure). Avoid using it on broken or irritated skin. If you are pregnant, breastfeeding, or have a hormone-related health condition, talk with your healthcare provider before regular use.
Watch for redness, itching, or a rash after use — stop use if these happen. There are published case reports and small studies (2007 and 2019) linking lavender oil to hormone-related effects in some children, so avoid giving undiluted lavender oil to babies and young children and keep it out of reach. Some product-safety programs limit its use unless manufacturers provide safety data, so check product labels and manufacturer information if this matters to you.
