Quick Facts

Who Chest Rub for Kids Is For

• Children 2 years and older with chest congestion from a cough or cold

Vitamart's Take

This is St. Francis Herb Farm's kid-friendly take on a classic chest rub: three essential oils in a soft, creamy base of olive oil and shea butter, delivered from a pump so there's no double-dipping. It's a nice part of a bedtime routine when little ones are stuffed up. Follow the label closely — rub it on the chest, not the face or near the nose and mouth, keep it away from eyes, and don't use it on broken or irritated skin.

How Chest Rub for Kids Compares

Kids vs. regular Chest Rub Balm

St. Francis Chest Rub Balm is the deep-penetrating original. The kids' version is a creamy balm in a pump, labelled for children from 2 years old.

Topical rub vs. kids' cold syrups

Syrups like St. Francis Echinacea Plus Kids with Elderberry are taken by mouth. The chest rub works through aromatherapy on the chest, so the two can be used side by side.

Herbal rub vs. menthol and camphor rubs

Many drugstore rubs use menthol and camphor. This one uses eucalyptus, peppermint and pine essential oils — and the label says not to combine it with other products containing camphor or menthol.

What Is Eucalyptus Oil?

• Eucalyptus oil is distilled from the leaves of Eucalyptus globulus
• It has a fresh, clean scent traditionally linked with clear breathing
• Peppermint oil (Mentha x piperita) adds a cooling note
• Scotch pine oil (Pinus sylvestris) is distilled from pine needles
• Together, these three oils form the aromatherapy blend in this balm

Recommended Purpose

• Aromatherapeutic relief from congestion and chest heaviness associated with coughs and colds

How To Use
