Essential oil - licorice

Fennel essential oil comes from the Foeniculum vulgare plant, which is traditionally grown in Greece, Japan, India and North Africa. The oil is obtained by steam distillation of the herb's seeds and is a natural extract rich in active compounds. Its main active components are anethole (up to 75%), limonene and alpha-pinene. It is a 100% natural product that has been used for centuries in traditional medicine and aromatherapy.

In cosmetics, fennel oil acts as a moisturising and soothing agent. It helps regulate skin hydration while soothing the skin thanks to its antiseptic and anti-infective properties. The oil also supports skin barrier repair and improves blood circulation. It contains natural compounds with strong antioxidant potential that protect the skin from free radicals. Its composition provides a mild toning and firming effect, making it effective in mature skin care too.

Fennel essential oil is particularly recommended for dry, sensitive and mature skin in need of soothing and hydration. It is also suitable for dehydrated skin and problem skin prone to inflammation. Thanks to its antiseptic properties, it is also suitable for acne-prone and oily skin, where it helps control infection and inflammation. The oil is used in anti-ageing formulas and is found in facial toners, creams and hair care products.

Scientific studies confirm fennel's therapeutic potential. Research has shown that fennel essential oil has antimicrobial, antibacterial and antifungal activity thanks to its high concentration of trans-anethole. The oil effectively reduces skin inflammation and supports wound healing. Studies also document fennel's antispasmodic effect and its ability to reduce swelling and water retention in the body, which is particularly beneficial when caring for mature skin and skin affected by puffiness.
