Ask Dr. Streicher: Adding to Baby Lotion
Apr 21st 2021

Courtney L. Asks:
I am interested in adding Essential Oils to my baby's lotion. Is that safe? Are there certain oils you would recommend?
Dr. Streicher Answers:
Dear Courtney,
For babies, use only 1% (10 drops per fl. oz.). Roman chamomile, French Lavender, and Rose are wonderful oils for babies.
Best Wishes,
Christoph Streicher, Ph.D.
