Can I use this balm on my 1-year-old child?

No, this balm is formulated for children from the age of 2 years. The product label specifies "2+" because the combination of warming ingredients like camphor and turpentine and the essential oils is intended for older children whose skin is less sensitive. For infants under 2, their skin barrier is still developing, and they are generally more reactive to topical products and strong aromas. Using a product not designed for their age could cause skin irritation or discomfort. If you are looking for a similar product for a baby, it's best to seek out a specifically formulated infant balm or consult with a pediatrician for suitable, age-appropriate options.

As with any new product for a child, especially one with sensitive skin, asthma, or known allergies, it's a good practice to do a patch test first. Apply a small amount to a limited area of skin (like the inner forearm) and wait 24 hours to check for any adverse reaction before wider use.
