1-2 year old toddlers • Skin contact product
For toddlers (1–2 years), anise seed extract can cause skin allergy or irritation. Most other long‑term health risks are considered low, but data are limited for young children.
If you plan to use a product that lists this ingredient on a 1–2 year old: do a small patch test on the inner forearm and wait 24–48 hours before wider use; avoid applying to broken, inflamed, or very sensitive skin; keep creams and oils away from the child’s hands and face so they don’t rub it into their mouth or eyes; choose products made for children when possible and with transparent ingredient info; stop use and wash the area if redness or itching appears and contact your pediatrician if it gets worse.
This ingredient is listed as a known human allergen by the EU Cosmetics Directive and has limited evidence of causing skin allergy in reviews by the European Chemicals Agency. Some product-verification programs restrict its use without extra safety data. Watch for redness, rash, swelling, hives, or breathing trouble. If your child has known allergies to anise or related plants (for example, fennel), avoid this ingredient and consult your pediatrician before use.
