Safety

Safety Profile

CIR Status
Not reviewed
Sensitization risk High

There is no specific Cosmetic Ingredient Review (CIR) for Pimpinella Anisum Fruit Water. While Anise is classified as Generally Recognized As Safe (GRAS) for food flavoring by the FDA (21 CFR 182.106), this status does not extend to cosmetic skin application. For Pimpinella Anisum Fruit Extract, EWG Skin Deep indicates a 'HIGH' concern for allergies and immunotoxicity, citing known human toxicant/allergen data. An EFSA opinion on anise tincture suggests it may be irritating to skin and eyes, a skin and respiratory sensitizer, and potentially phototoxic due to furocoumarins. These findings necessitate careful consideration and patch testing when formulating with Pimpinella Anisum Fruit Water in cosmetic products.

Verdict

Questionable

While offering potential antioxidant and skin-conditioning benefits, the lack of specific cosmetic safety data and notable concerns regarding irritation, sensitization, and phototoxicity (extrapolated from related preparations) classify Pimpinella Anisum Fruit Water as questionable for broad application within precision skincare.
