Is this safe for 0-6 month old newborns to use Fennel Seed Extract?
âšī¸General Overview
For newborns and babies 0â6 months: this extract is listed as low concern in safety reviews, but it hasn't been well studied in newborns. Because baby skin is very thin and reactive, it's safest to avoid products with fennel seed extract on infants under 6 months.
â What to Do
Do not use products that list fennel seed extract on babies younger than 6 months. For older infants, choose products made for babies, do a small skin patch test on the forearm and wait 24â48 hours, and stop use immediately if you see redness, bumps, swelling or irritation. Avoid applying near the eyes, nose, or mouth.
â ī¸Warnings
The ingredient is marked as restricted by some product-safety programs, meaning companies must provide extra proof before using it in verified baby products. Although broad concerns (cancer, allergy, developmental/reproductive) are listed as low for this extract, watch for skin reactions (redness, rash, swelling) or breathing changes. If any reaction occurs, stop use and contact your pediatrician. Look for synonyms on the label such as "Foeniculum Vulgare (Fennel) Seed Extract", "Extract of Foeniculum Vulgare Seed", "Foeniculum Vulgare Seed Extract" or "Fennel Seed Extract" and avoid those on infants under 6 months.
