I found several websites that say lemon eucalyptus is NOT safe for kids under 3. But this has it and is specifically for kids?

Great! I didn't realize that. I will have to look into that further too. It does help keep the bugs away.

I don't see any ingredients that would be bad for a 5 year old unless he is allergic to lavender or ethanol. It's basically oils and ethanol nothing else. The smell is a little strong so unless your 5 year old is sensitive to smells should be alright. I suggest reading the ingredient list to make sure.

Hi Crystal, I can't see why it would not be good for kids. But, I think supervision would be wise.

This is NOT recommended for children at all! The pieces came broken apart while in the packaging, which means, it's BAD quality, AND if it's broken while packaged-it's not constructed well enough to handle child hands, thus, creating CHOKING hazards after the child broke the pieces off.

Lice don't like the smell of rosemary and that's the natural ingredient that repels them. As a grandmother and have tried everything out there this was the only thing that worked for kids under 2 yrs of age and it doesn't hurt them and leaves a great smelling scent. If you are considering buying it Do! It is the best for kids starting preschool and the detangler I spay on her before she goes to school and on her back back and whatever else she maybe carrying or wearing! It's worked great for my family and I will be ordering more!

I'd say 4 and up is safe. These are very soft and the children will not get hurt by them, but they do run the risk of biting pieces of it off and swallowing it.

My jar of Manuka honey has a warning that says "Not suitable for children under 4 years of age". The brand I have is called Manuka Health.

The label indicates it should not be used on children under 6 months old. This product is made with oils of soybean, citronella, peppermint, cedar, lemongrass and geranium. We live in the Caribbean and use it regularly on our children...ages 5-12. I really love this product but be diligent to reapply it every 2-3 hrs for max effectiveness.

The bottle I purchased is not primarily for children but I did use it on my children ages six, five, and three years of age. Not to mention I used it on my own head," their mom."

I think it's a mistake on Amazon's part - if you go to Nuby's website it says the product is safe for 3+ months. http://www.nuby.com/en/nuby/teethers-toys/455

As far as I know it is only lemon oil and eucalyptus oil and nothing more. Here is what it says on the label: The active ingredient in Repel Plant-Based Lemon Eucalyptus insect repellent is derived from the leaves of the Lemon Eucalyptus tree. It is designed to repel mosquitoes for up to 6 hours. / I can tell you that it is the best repellent I have ever used. I even spray it around the kitchen to keep ants at bay because there is nothing toxic in it. I have no reason to believe that it is not biodegradable but it does not say so on the label.

My 3 year old takes it and has since she was able to chew a gummy. Just be cautious because they are chewy and could cause choking if not chewed well.

These are made with plant oils such as Citronella and Lemongrass and also Zinc Iron Oxides. A precautionary statement on the package which reads: Not intended for children under 3. In rare case of irritation , discontinue use and wash with soap and water. Our grandchildren ages 7 to 20 use them with no problem. They work great against biting bugs like mosquito and gnats. Hope this helps.

I hope not. I bought it because i read it did not. I think i saw it on the healthy child healthy world website. It gets overwhelming trying to figure what chemicals are in baby products. I suggest asking naturepedic.

Yes, ages 5-10 seems correct. Some reviewers mentioned letting three-year-old play. That's too young due to threat of choking if they put it in their mouth. Even kids who don't eat things anymore may still experiment with putting it in their mouth and accidentally swallow it. Why take a chance?
