Safe for preschoolers to use Anise Seed Extract?
ℹ️General Overview
For toddlers and preschoolers (2–5 years), anise seed extract is usually okay in small amounts on the skin, but some children can get a rash or other allergic reaction.
✅What to Do
Use only products made for children or labeled gentle. Do a small patch test first (apply a tiny amount to the inside of the forearm and wait 24–48 hours). Avoid products that list concentrated anise oil or undiluted extracts. Keep products away from your child’s mouth, eyes, and any broken or irritated skin. If your child has eczema, asthma, or many allergies, choose products that do not list anise or similar botanical extracts.
⚠️Warnings
Watch for redness, itching, bumps, swelling, or breathing problems after using a product with anise seed extract. The EU Cosmetics Directive lists it as a known allergen and the European Chemicals Agency notes limited evidence of skin allergy—these are the reasons to stop use and seek medical help for severe reactions. Also be aware some product verification programs restrict its use unless safety is proven.
