Can babies use products with essential oils?

Newborn and infant skin is more delicate and absorbent, so it can react more easily to concentrated ingredients.

Even in small amounts, they can be: Irritating to sensitive skin Too strong for newborns Potential triggers for redness or reactions This is especially true if they’re used in high concentrations or not properly diluted. When They May Be Okay Products... Read more...
