I have been using this one my childs skin since she was 2 years old, and she is now almost 5. I started putting it on under her eye where she got a scar from preschool and another girl scratched her under her eye and in a few weeks of applying this at night and in the morning it was gone. No more scar. I even apply this to her arms and legs where she has tiny bumps, and they too are going away. we use it for ring worm as well. Love this stuff

I wouldn't use it for a kid but some people might. It's good for acne prone skin and the sunblock in it burns my eyes if I'm not careful.

yes it is very good for a baby's skin. Almond Oil has in it vitimin A, B1,B2,and E as well. Pure enough for even the most sensitive skin. Also a tradition to use on baby's in India and many other places. Good for craddles cap. Just don't massage on baby's hands and feet as they can end up in thier mouth.I even use it on my face and dose not clog my pores. I'm the oldest of three girls and my sisters can't believe I look the yougest as I've yet to have wrinkles around my eyes and I'm 52 years old. I hope this helps.

The paperwork provided with this product states, concentrated active ingredients with organic oils. It doesn't state anything about "nontoxic". All I can say is that I have very sensitive skin and it has taken years off of my face. I've been using it for several months.

There shouldn't be any problem using this product with children as it has never caused me eye irritation or scalp irritation of any kind. I would ask the manufacturer if you can just to be safe though.

Biocide lab has a customer service number you can call. I can tell you that our public schools in my community use the product. Never heard of any parents complaining.

Thanks Lori, I have taken 3 youngster from Church, ages ranging 13-19, on first hunting trips in woods, used it with great results, I would prefer over a deet based product and this has a UV protectant and not to unpleasant of a fragrance. Maybe if you have a small child consult Pediatrician first?

Question was asked over a year and a half ago, so I'm sure an answer is no longer needed. Just for info though, 3M Ultrathon contains DEET and it's a strong chemical and I would be wary using it on young children and definitely wouldn't use it on kids a few years or less old. The instructions say don't apply to children's hands and when applying to children use your own hands to apply on them. Obviously, you want to keep your children from ingesting this insecticide. If it was my kids I would definitely try a natural, non-chemical product like lemon eucalyptus oil, cinnamon oil, rosemary oil, lemongrass oil, or peppermint oil. You will have to apply it more often, but I would feel much better using them on my kids. There are also a number of natural insect repellents made especially for kids on the market.

I personally always mix Essential oils with carrier oils when using them on babies and young children. I have tried mixing this Essential oil with Almond oil, coconut oil and Shea Butter and they all work well.

Hi - I have done just that on myself and kids. It's a very nice lotion, but you'll go through a bottle quickly if using for full body frequently!

Hi there! This product has been pediatrician-tested and was determined safe for delicate skin, but you are always welcome to check with your pediatrician just to be sure. Thanks! ~Juliana

Hi SAG, I bought this for my niece who is 2 and has eczema. Because of her skin condition, any other skin irritation that would not affect other kids very much, actually causes her skin to flair up. I picked this for her because its ingredients and so far, we have been happy with the results. Decyl Glucoside is a natural, non-ionic surfactant- the stuff that causes the shampoo to foam up. It is pretty mild and a plus- it is biodegradable. I hope this helped!

You can use on children's skin but do not apply directly to children's hands and would not allow them to handle the product. Once applied, it dries quickly with not odor. And really works. I use all the time.

I also have two young kids and have used this product inside my house around baseboards and pretty much throughout. I've used it for months and have not experienced any health concerns. By the way, this product really works!

It would be all right to use on a baby as it has no scent, is pure almond oil and will simply moisturize a baby's skin. I fmy child was still a baby I would use it on her. She is grown now.
