2-5 year old preschoolers • Skin contact product
Fennel extract is a plant-based ingredient that is generally low risk for young children (toddlers and preschoolers) when it’s used in small amounts in skin products. It’s often used for scent or to make skin feel soothing.
Choose products made for children, and use only small amounts. Prefer rinse-off products (like soaps) or child-formulated lotions. Do a small patch test on a bit of skin and wait 24 hours to check for redness or irritation before wider use. If your child has sensitive skin, eczema, or a history of reactions, avoid products with this ingredient unless recommended by your child’s care provider.
The ingredient listing flags this extract as 'Restricted' in some product-certification programs, meaning makers should provide extra safety information. Watch for any redness, itching, bumps, or swelling after use. Avoid applying near the eyes, mouth, or on broken or irritated skin. If your child swallows the product or has a strong reaction, stop use and contact your healthcare provider or poison control.
