Is this safe for 0-6 month old newborns to use Anisaldehyde?
ℹ️General Overview
Anisaldehyde is generally considered low risk by regulators, but newborns and infants (0–6 months) have very sensitive skin. It may cause irritation or allergic skin reactions in some babies, so it is best to be cautious.
✅What to Do
Avoid products with anisaldehyde on newborn and baby skin when possible. Choose products made for infants and labeled for sensitive skin. If you must use a product that contains it, do a small patch test on a tiny area of the baby’s inner thigh or forearm and wait 24 hours. Use a very small amount, avoid the face and diaper area, and stop use at the first sign of redness, rash, swelling, or increased fussiness. If you are unsure, check with your baby’s pediatrician before using a new product.
⚠️Warnings

The main thing to watch for is skin irritation or an allergic reaction (redness, rash, swelling, blistering, or increased crying after application).
