For babies 6â12 months old (infants, babies), fennel seed extract is generally low concern when used on the skin in small amounts. Still, baby skin is sensitive and plant extracts can sometimes cause irritation or an allergic reaction.

If your baby has eczema or a history of allergies, check with your pediatrician before use.
