Safe for preschoolers to use Sodium Anisate?
ℹ️General Overview
For toddlers and preschoolers (ages 2-5), Sodium Anisate is generally safe in small amounts on the skin. It’s used in products to help preserve or scent them and is not linked to serious health risks at the levels normally used.
✅What to Do
Before using a new product on your child, try a small patch test (behind the ear or on the inner forearm) and wait 24 hours. Use products made for children when possible, apply sparingly, avoid broken or irritated skin, and don’t let your child get the product in their eyes or mouth. If a rash or irritation appears, stop using the product and talk with your pediatrician.
⚠️Warnings
Rare skin reactions have been reported in human case studies (source: peer-reviewed studies) — watch for redness, swelling, itching, or blisters. A government review found no reason to expect genetic harm (source: government review). Animal studies showing developmental effects occurred only at moderate or high doses, not at the low amounts normally found in skin products. If you see any reaction or have concerns, stop use and consult your child’s doctor.
