YES - Generally Safe
Danger Score: 1 (Lower is safer)
Quick Answer: Fennel Fruit Extract is generally considered safe for 5+ year old children when used in topical products. Kids may have different tolerance levels.

ℹ️General Overview

For children 5 years and older (kids, school-age children, teens), fennel fruit extract is generally low risk when used in small amounts on intact skin. Most safety checks find little concern for cancer or long-term harm.

✅What to Do

If you try a product with fennel fruit extract, choose one where the ingredient is low on the list (means less of it). Do a small patch test on a child’s inner forearm or behind the ear and wait 24 hours. Start with rinse-off products (like shampoos or soaps) rather than leave-on creams. Stop use and wash the area if you see redness, swelling, or itching. If your child has known plant, herb, or pollen allergies, check with your pediatrician before use.

⚠️Warnings

Watch for skin redness, itching, bumps or swelling—there is limited evidence of skin allergy or irritation (source: European Chemicals Agency). The U.S. FDA notes fennel is allowed in limited food uses, which supports low overall concern for general use, but topical reactions can occur. Avoid using it on broken or inflamed skin and avoid on younger babies or infants unless a doctor says it’s okay.
