0-6 month old newborns • Skin contact product
For newborns and babies 0–6 months: this seed extract can cause skin allergy in some people and there is not enough safety data for very young babies. Because baby skin is extra sensitive, it’s best to avoid products that list this ingredient.
Do not use products that contain Pimpinella Anisum (anise) seed extract on infants under 6 months. Prefer unscented and simple formulations for baby skincare. If a caregiver has a product with this ingredient and wants to try it, do not apply it to the baby’s skin. If the baby is accidentally exposed, wash the area with plain water and stop use. If you see redness, rash, swelling, or any breathing trouble, seek medical care right away.
Known allergen listed by the EU Cosmetics Directive and noted by the European Chemicals Agency as having limited evidence of causing skin reactions — these are the main sources of concern. Avoid applying this ingredient to broken or irritated skin and avoid fragranced products that may contain it. Some product safety verification programs restrict use of this extract unless manufacturers provide strong safety data; that indicates extra caution is warranted. Watch for redness, hives, swelling, increased fussiness, or breathing changes after exposure and contact your pediatrician if you notice any of these.
