For adults: anisaldehyde is generally safe on skin at the small amounts usually used in perfumes and scented products. Officials that review chemicals say it is not expected to be harmful and does not seem to build up in the body.
Use products that list anisaldehyde at normal fragrance levels. If you have sensitive skin, do a small patch test on the inside of your arm first and wait 24 hours. Avoid getting the product in your eyes or mouth. Stop use if you get redness, itching, swelling, or any unusual reaction.
Watch for skin irritation or allergic reactions — stop use if you notice a rash or swelling and see a doctor if breathing or severe swelling occurs. The safety notes come from government chemical reviews (for example, Environment Canada and the European chemical agency) and food safety authorities (for example, the U.S. food agency) that say overall risk is low but recommend usual precautions.
