For adults, fennel (Foeniculum vulgare) fruit extract is generally low risk when used on the skin. Most people can use products containing it without problems, but a small number may have skin sensitivity.
If you’re trying a product with fennel extract, do a small patch test first on your inner forearm and wait 24–48 hours. Use products as directed and avoid applying to broken or irritated skin. If you notice redness, itching, or swelling, stop using the product.
There is limited evidence of skin allergy from a European chemical regulator (ECHA), and the U.S. food regulator (FDA) notes fennel is allowed for certain limited food uses. Some product verification programs may restrict this ingredient without extra testing. Watch for any signs of irritation or allergic reaction and stop use if they occur.
