adults • Skin contact product
For adults (grown-ups), Sodium Anisate is generally low risk when used on the skin in normal cosmetic products. Most people can use it without problems.
If you want to be safe: do a small patch test on your inner forearm before regular use, avoid applying to broken or irritated skin, stop use if you get redness, itching, or a rash, and check with your healthcare provider if you are pregnant, breastfeeding, or have a history of strong skin allergies.
A few human case reports suggest possible skin sensitivity or allergic reactions (peer-reviewed studies). Some animal studies showed developmental or reproductive effects but only at moderate or higher doses (peer-reviewed studies). A regulatory review indicates it is not likely to be mutagenic (EPA). Because of these findings, watch for signs of skin allergy and consult your doctor before use if you are pregnant or breastfeeding.
