For adults (including teens), lavandin oil is usually low risk when used on the skin in small amounts. Most people won’t have serious effects, though some people can get skin irritation or an allergic reaction. There is limited evidence from a 2019 study and related reports that the oil may have some hormone-like activity, so it’s wise to be cautious.
If you want to use products that contain this oil: do a small patch test on inner forearm first and wait 24–48 hours for any reaction. Use only as directed on the product label and avoid applying to broken or irritated skin. Do not ingest the oil. If you use multiple scented products (lotions, perfumes, sprays) try to limit total use so you’re not getting repeated exposure from many products at once. If you are pregnant, breastfeeding, or have hormone-sensitive health concerns, consider avoiding products with this oil or ask your healthcare provider.
Watch for signs of skin allergy: redness, itching, rash, swelling, or trouble breathing — stop use and seek medical help if these happen. A 2019 clinical study and case reports flagged possible hormone (estrogen-like) activity — this is the main reason to be cautious, especially for pregnant or breastfeeding people. Government reviews (for example Environment Canada) list it as low priority for general toxicity but note the hormone-related findings; the U.S. food authority has noted the oil is used in food or as an additive in some cases, which raises questions about multiple sources of exposure. Some product verification programs restrict its use unless manufacturers provide extra safety data. Avoid internal use and heavy repeated application.
