ℹ️General Overview

For toddlers and preschoolers (ages 2-5) this anise seed extract is usually okay for short-term, occasional use on the skin for most children, but it can cause allergic reactions in some kids.

What to Do

Before using on a larger area, do a patch test: put a tiny amount on the inside of the child's forearm and wait 24–48 hours. If there is no redness, swelling, itching or blistering, it is likely safe to use in small amounts. Always avoid applying near the eyes, mouth, or on cuts and rashes. Use products with low concentrations and avoid frequent repeated use. If your child has known allergies to anise, fennel, or similar plants, skip products with this ingredient.

⚠️Warnings

Watch for signs of an allergic reaction: redness, raised bumps, itching, swelling, or breathing problems. These allergy concerns are documented by the EU Cosmetics Directive and by the European Chemicals Agency, which note it can be a human allergen and there is some evidence of skin allergy. Some product certification programs also limit its use unless safety is proven—avoid products that make strong safety claims without testing.
