is this edible? Thinking of using this to apply to my 4 year old son's thumb to prevent him from sucking it.

They sell Neem supplements as well, so it's probably technically edible. However, it smells (and I imagine tastes) AWFUL, like rancid chicken and burning rubber.

I don't know if it's edible, but there's nothing wrong with a four year old sucking his thumb. He won't be doing it when he's 18.

Everything I have read says that this isn't really for human consumption. It is also a powerful anti-microbial, and insecticide and fungicide. I suspect you shouldn't allow your child to consume it. I'm sure there are other remedies that are less dangerous.

This oil is not an edible product and could potentially make one sick if ingested in oil form (it's very pure). For thumb sucking try castor oil or cod liver oil, both taste horrible and may deter thumb-sucking but are edible.

It is NOT edible. Neem oil is used as an insecticide. Don't let children consume insecticide. Even if it didn't harm him directly, it would significantly harm his gut bacteria, which is bad, especially for children--MUCH worse than thumb-sucking.

Apply as the others answered, but don't place where young children or pets will come in contact. It's toxic if ingested.

No for my baby because when he can not suck the left thumb, he starts to suck the right thumb!!! :( and his hand start with some rash... its too expensive for the results

This "paint" is for coloring FOOD only. That's what make it edible. You can use whatever utensils you choose to apply it to whatever you want to apply it too. On the package the ingredients are water, sugar and coloring. Does that answer help? I hope this make sense for you.

A LONG time! It's a small bottle, but it really doesn't take a lot. We used it once at night and reapplied every night. My son only sucked his thumbs, so that's only 2 nails. It last for months, easily. (The lid gets stuck closed, but running the bottle under hot water takes care of that).

You can do anything you want. But it is not listed as edible by Now Foods. The only list I could find on their website concerned different uses for aroma therapy. They do smell good enough to eat. That doesn't mean they are.

It would work, but the package says it is not for consumption, even though it is sold as edible. I take that to mean it is useful in subtle amounts on baked goods. I think on the rims of glasses it would leave a lot of residue on folks's lips. Which could be great, if that is what you are going for. . .

Depending upon the age of your son I wouldn't as a safety (smothering/choking...) concern. I would recommend asking your pediatrician.

No no and no. They are really gross my son wouldn't even try to bite into it putting it in his mouth was bad enough . The coating on the outside is a sugary concoction that is trying to disguise the horrible smell, texture and taste and after taste. Hope this helps

I would not use it on any edibles. I mainly use it for mosquito problems down in the gulf coast.

It's a capsule. So you can take it apart and put it on a spoon for the child. I suggest mixing it in with a bit of fruit flavored yogurt. I can't swallow pills either, so I understand.

It says on the label " The vegetable glycerine contained in this product is considered food grade." To me that means it is edible. It also says it is derived from Non-GMO palm oil or vegetable oil. It sounds to me that it is. I have never used it for that purpose, but it sounds like it could be.

Lavender oil is edible but for liability and insurance purposes the label must state "not for internal use." However, it should be diluted.

Don't think you'd want to do that. Doesn't smell to good and it might burn a little though as an oil, I don, think it would cause you harm. But do not swallow any.

The label says "Not for internal use" so unfortunately it cannot be ingested. Hope this helps :)

I have never done this. My kids chew it but I would assume that you could because you are supposed to let it dissolve in your mouth before swallowing. It is definitely not a pill you have to swallow whole. My kids like the taste.

Yes it is completely edible but it will be on the strong side. I cook with it.
