ℹ️General Overview
For school-age children (5 years and older) anise seed extract is usually low risk when used on the skin, but some people can develop an allergic skin reaction. The biggest issue is skin sensitivity or contact allergy, not cancer or long-term toxicity.
✅What to Do
Before using a product with this ingredient on your child, do a small patch test on the inner forearm and wait 24–48 hours. Use only on unbroken skin and follow the product instructions. Stop use and wash the area if you see redness, swelling, itching, or blisters. If your child has known allergies to anise or similar spices, avoid products with this ingredient.
⚠️Warnings
This ingredient is listed as a known human allergen under EU cosmetics rules and the European Chemicals Agency reports limited evidence of skin allergies — those are the main sources of concern. Some product-certification programs restrict its use without supporting safety data. Watch for any rash, swelling, or breathing changes; if a serious reaction occurs, seek medical care right away. Avoid use on babies and toddlers (under 5 years) unless directed by a pediatrician.
