✅What to Do
If you want to use a product with fennel extract on your child, choose products that list the ingredient at low concentration, do a small patch test on the inside of the forearm and wait 24 hours, avoid putting it on broken or red skin, and keep it away from the eyes and mouth. Stop use and contact your healthcare provider if you see a rash, swelling, or if your child has trouble breathing.
⚠️Warnings
A product-safety verification program marks this ingredient as "restricted" unless manufacturers provide safety evidence, so some brands avoid it. The ingredient database data show low concerns for cancer, allergies, and developmental effects, but parents should still watch for skin allergy or irritation (redness, itching, swelling), and avoid use in children with known allergies to fennel, anise, or related plants.
