5+ year old children • Skin contact product
Fennel seed extract used on the skin is generally safe for children 5 years and older (kids, school-age children and preteens). Most safety checks show very low concerns, but a small number of children can be sensitive to plant extracts.
Before using a product with this ingredient, do a small patch test on the child’s inner forearm and wait 24 hours. Use only as directed, keep away from the child’s eyes and mouth, and do not put it on cuts, scrapes, or irritated skin. If any redness, itching, swelling, or breathing problems happen, stop use and seek medical help.
The ingredient record flags it as 'Restricted' in some product verification programs, meaning some certified products avoid it or require extra proof to include it. Also watch for allergic reactions or skin irritation—this warning comes from the ingredient safety record used for this evaluation. If your child has a known plant or herb allergy, avoid using products with this extract.
