For toddlers (1–2 years) Anisaldehyde is likely low risk for skin use. Official assessments say it poses low concern for cancer, allergies, or long-term buildup, and it is allowed in limited food uses.
If you must use a product that lists Anisaldehyde, choose products made for children when possible, or those labeled mild/fragrance-free. Do a small patch test on the inner forearm and wait 24 hours before using more widely. Use a small amount, avoid broken or irritated skin, and keep the product away from eyes, mouth, and diaper area.
Watch for any redness, rash, swelling, blistering, or other signs of irritation — stop use immediately if these happen. Although agencies report low overall concern (Environment Canada; European Chemicals Agency; US FDA), fragrances and aldehydes can still cause contact irritation or allergy in sensitive children, so be cautious and consult your pediatrician if you see a reaction.
