Danger Score: 2 (Lower is safer)
Quick Answer: Fennel Fruit Extract is generally considered safe for 1-2 year old toddlers when used in topical products. Watch for toddler-specific sensitivities.

ℹ️General Overview

For toddlers (1-2 years), fennel fruit extract is generally considered low risk when used in small amounts. It’s often safe in rinse-off products and low-concentration cosmetics, but young children’s skin can be more sensitive.

✅What to Do

Prefer products that rinse off (bath or shampoo) rather than leave-on creams with this extract. Do a small patch test on the inside of the arm and wait 24 hours before regular use. Use sparingly on children with known plant or pollen allergies and talk to your pediatrician if unsure. Store products out of reach.

⚠️Warnings

Stop use and see a doctor if you notice redness, swelling, hives, blisters, or any new skin irritation. The European Chemicals Agency (ECHA) notes limited evidence of skin allergy for this ingredient, and some product verification programs restrict its use unless manufacturers provide safety data. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) lists it as safe for limited use in food, but topical leave-on use on very young children should be approached with caution.
