Lavender is among the gentlest essential oils and is generally well tolerated, when properly diluted, by sensitive skin and is often the first oil people use, but it should still be diluted, patch tested, and used in moderation, especially for children, where only age-appropriate amounts and guidance are appropriate. Pregnant women should seek advice. Never apply it neat or swallow it. Used sensibly and diluted, lavender is a lovely, calming, family-friendly aromatic; treat it with the same basic care as any essential oil.
