1-2 year old toddlers β’ Skin contact product
For toddlers (1-2 years), fennel seed extract used on the skin is generally low risk. It is not linked to cancer or developmental problems in the safety listings, but like many plant extracts it can rarely cause skin sensitivity or an allergic reaction.
Before using a product with this ingredient on a toddler, do a small patch test on the inner forearm and wait 24 hours. Choose products made for young children or products that are clearly diluted. Do not apply to broken or irritated skin, and avoid the face and eyes. Stop use and wash the area if you see redness, bumps, swelling, or if the child seems uncomfortable. If youβre unsure, talk with your pediatrician before regular use.
The ingredient is marked as restricted in a major ingredient safety database (some certified products require extra safety proof before using it). That restriction is not a statement that the ingredient is dangerous, but it means manufacturers may need to show evidence before including it. Watch for skin rash, swelling, hives, or any breathing changes after use β if these occur, stop use and seek medical help. Avoid using concentrated or undiluted fennel extract or essential oil on toddlers.
