Can older babies use Pimpinella Anisum Seed Extract?
ℹ️General Overview
For babies 6–12 months old, anise (Pimpinella anisum) seed extract can cause skin allergy or irritation in some people. It is not linked to cancer or other major long‑term harms, but because infants have very sensitive skin and immune systems, extra caution is advised.
✅What to Do
If you want to use a product that lists anise seed extract: choose products made and tested for babies, do a small patch test on a tiny area of your baby’s thigh or forearm and wait 24–48 hours, use it only sparingly at first, and stop if you see any redness, swelling, itching, blistering or fussiness after application. Prefer plain, fragrance‑free baby products when possible.
⚠️Warnings
Allergic reactions and skin irritation are the main concern — this ingredient is listed as a known human allergen in European cosmetics guidance and has limited evidence of causing skin allergy according to the European Chemicals Agency. Some product verification programs restrict its use unless the maker shows it is safe in that product formula. Avoid using on broken skin, near the eyes, or on large areas of a baby’s body. If your baby has a history of eczema, hives, or food allergies, avoid this ingredient and consult your pediatrician before use.
