Can older babies use Anisaldehyde?
ℹ️General Overview
For babies 6–12 months (infants), anisaldehyde is considered low risk by regulatory agencies. It is not thought to cause cancer or long-term harm. However, because it is a fragrance ingredient, it can sometimes irritate or cause an allergic skin reaction in sensitive babies.
✅What to Do
If you use a product that lists anisaldehyde on the label for your 6–12 month old baby: choose products made for babies, do a small patch test on a tiny area of the baby’s thigh or inner arm and wait 24 hours, use the smallest amount needed, avoid applying near the eyes, mouth and diaper area, and stop use immediately if you see redness, swelling, blistering or a rash. If a reaction continues or is severe, contact your pediatrician.
⚠️Warnings
Avoid putting products containing anisaldehyde on broken or irritated skin, and do not use frequently over large areas on infants. While overall hazard is low, watch for signs of irritation or allergy (redness, itch, rash, swelling). These safety conclusions are based on public regulatory assessments from Environment Canada, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, and the European Chemicals Agency.
