Can Golden Star balm be used on children? — Golden Star Balm 4 g - CAO SAO VANG

The balm contains essential oils and aromatic ingredients with a strong scent; these are what create the characteristic warming sensation and the pronounced inhalation effect. Children, especially young ones, have thinner and more permeable skin, and their airways are more sensitive to volatile substances, so they may react more strongly to such products than adults.

The balm must not be used on children under 3, and the directions for use on the packaging must be followed. If the product is intended for a child, read the instructions carefully before use.

General recommendations for using balms like this on children:

• Do not apply to the face or around the eyes and nose: in these areas menthol and camphor are particularly likely to cause an unwanted reaction.
• Start with a small area of skin to check how well it is tolerated.
• Do not leave an open jar within a child's reach: a strong scent in a closed room can be uncomfortable.

If the child has an allergy to essential oils, bronchial asthma or other chronic conditions, consult a paediatrician before use.
