Safe for preschoolers to use P Anisic Acid?
ℹ️General Overview
For children 2–5 years old (toddlers and preschoolers), P-anisic acid is usually low risk when it appears in small amounts in skin products.
✅What to Do
Choose products with small amounts of this ingredient and prefer rinse-off items (like shampoos) when you can. Before regular use, do a small patch test on the child’s inner forearm and wait 24 hours to check for redness or itching. Do not apply to broken or irritated skin, and keep products away from the child’s eyes and nose. Use fewer products that contain the same ingredient to reduce total exposure.
⚠️Warnings
There is limited evidence of irritation (skin, eyes, or lungs) reported by the European Chemicals Agency (ECHA). One or more animal studies showed reproductive effects only at very high doses (peer-reviewed literature). Environment Canada classifies it as not expected to be toxic and not persistent, and the U.S. FDA notes it can be used in food (so multiple exposure sources are possible). Watch for redness, swelling, itching, watery eyes, or coughing — if any of these happen, stop use and contact your child’s doctor.
