Appearance: Pale yellow to clear liquid with a distinct sweet anise-like aroma
GHS Classification: May cause skin irritation, eye irritation, potential respiratory discomfort if inhaled
Hazard Symbols: Exclamation mark for skin/eye irritation
Signal Word: Warning
Hazard Statements: Causes skin and serious eye irritation, may cause respiratory irritation, repeated exposure can lead to sensitization
Precautionary Statements: Avoid inhalation, skin contact, and eye contact; wear protective equipment during use
Potential Health Effects: Contact may cause allergic reactions, particularly in sensitive individuals; ingestion in large amounts can be toxic, do not expose to children or pregnant women in concentrated amounts
Environmental Hazards: Large volumes pose risk to aquatic life due to toxicity to aquatic organisms
Main Ingredient: Star Anise Oil
Common Components: Anethole (approx. 80–90%), methylchavicol, limonene, linalool, pinene, eugenol
Impurities: Minimal, may include minor oil residues from distillation
Concentration: Anethole typically 80% or higher, minor constituents below 5%
Inhalation: Move affected person to fresh air, ensure clear breathing passages; medical attention if symptoms persist
Skin Contact: Remove contaminated clothing, wash area with plenty of soap and water; use emollient if irritation develops.
Eye Contact: Rinse thoroughly with water for at least 15 minutes, lifting the eyelids; seek medical attention if discomfort continues
Ingestion: Rinse mouth, give water to dilute; do not induce vomiting unless advised by a medical professional, seek prompt medical attention for symptoms like nausea or cramps
Special Advice: Symptoms of overexposure may include headache, drowsiness, or mild gastrointestinal discomfort
Suitable Extinguishing Media: Foam, dry chemical, or CO2. Avoid use of direct water jet, which may spread the oil.
Specific Hazards: Vapors may form explosive mixtures with air; combustion produces irritating, toxic fumes including carbon oxides
Protective Equipment: Firefighters should wear self-contained breathing apparatus and protective clothing
Flash Point: Around 75°C
Special Precautions: Containers exposed to heat may rupture; cool containers with plenty of water spray from a safe distance
Personal Precautions: Wear chemical resistant gloves, goggles, and appropriate vapor masks; remove sources of ignition
Environmental Precautions: Do not allow oil to enter surface water, drains, or soil; contain spills with absorbent materials such as sand or earth
Clean-Up Methods: Absorb spilled oil, collect in containers for disposal; clean area with soap and water after removal
Additional Advice: Ventilate area well, prevent vapor buildup, dispose of contaminated materials safely
Handling: Use with adequate ventilation; avoid contact with eyes and skin; do not breathe vapor; keep away from heat, sparks, open flames
Storage: Store in tightly closed, amber-glass or stainless steel containers, away from ignition sources and in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area
Incompatible Materials: Strong oxidizers, acids, and bases can react with oil; do not store with food items
Special Precautions: Use personal protective equipment; label containers clearly and keep out of reach of children
Occupational Exposure Limits: No OSHA or established governmental limit for anise oil; minimize exposure through engineering controls
Engineering Controls: Local ventilation, extraction systems, or general room ventilation
Personal Protective Equipment: Chemical-resistant gloves (nitrile or neoprene), safety goggles, lab coat, respirator if vapor concentrations are high
Hygiene Measures: Avoid eating/drinking during handling, wash thoroughly after handling
Monitoring: Check ventilation and vapor levels regularly in industrial settings
