Is the Organic Hand & Body Lotion kid safe?Updated 10 months ago

Our Organic Hand & Body Lotions are nice and light, so they can be absorbed quickly into the skin. Our lotions do contain a small amount of organic alcohol, which acts as a toner, a preservative, as well as emulsifying the ingredients. Alcohol has a lower toxicity limit, especially for small children; therefore, our lotion is recommended for children older than three.

Our products have been tested and deemed safe in toxicological assessments when used as directed, below the safety limits suggested by the governing authorities. With that said, all fragrance oils are composed of constituents that may cause skin irritation for some. Even though our products are organic, people can still be allergic to peppermint, tea tree, lemon, etc. For this reason, we recommend our Baby-Unscented products which are free from any fragrances that may contain skin allergens.

As we do not currently offer an unscented version of our Organic Lotions, we recommend trying our Unscented Organic Magic Balm. Our Unscented Organic Magic Balm, with its simple food grade ingredients, is safe for use on children and babies*. 

*Should you have any health concerns, Dr. Bronner's always recommends that you consult with a primary care doctor as they can help determine the products that may be more suitable for you or your child's body.
