1-2 year old toddlers • Skin contact product
For toddlers (1-2 years), fennel extract is generally low risk when used in small amounts in products made for children. It is a plant extract and is usually safe, but direct studies in young children are limited, so we stay cautious.
If you use a lotion or cream with fennel extract on a toddler: do a small patch test on the arm and wait 24 hours, use products made for children when possible, avoid applying to broken or very sensitive skin, and use sparingly rather than over large body areas.
Stop use and talk to your child’s doctor if you see redness, swelling, persistent itching, blisters, or any unusual behavior after applying a product. Some product safety review programs restrict fennel extract unless the maker provides safety data, so look for products intended for children and check ingredient lists carefully. Avoid concentrated fennel or essential oils on toddlers’ skin and avoid close contact with eyes and mouth. These cautions come from recognized ingredient safety listings and product verification guidelines.
