Is this toddler-safe to use Anise Seed Extract?
ℹ️General Overview
For toddlers (1-2 years), this extract can be used carefully but it can cause allergic skin reactions in some children. The main worry is allergy, not long-term toxicity.
✅What to Do
If you plan to use a product that contains anise seed extract on a 1-2 year old: 1) Prefer products made for young children; 2) Do a small patch test on a small area of skin (inner forearm) and wait 24–48 hours to check for redness, itching, or bumps; 3) Avoid applying to broken or irritated skin and keep away from eyes and mouth; 4) Choose rinse-off products over leave-on if possible and use products with low fragrance and low concentrations of botanicals.
⚠️Warnings
Watch for signs of an allergic reaction such as redness, itching, swelling, hives, or breathing changes. Stop use immediately and see a doctor if breathing trouble or widespread hives occur. These allergy concerns are supported by regulatory listings (EU Cosmetics Directive lists it as a known human allergen; the European Chemicals Agency notes limited evidence of skin allergic reactions). Also note that some product certification programs restrict this ingredient in verified products, so check labels if that matters to you.
