What is Organic Fennel Seed Extract?
Organic Fennel Seed Extract is a natural extract derived from the seeds of the fennel plant, Foeniculum vulgare. The seeds are often dried and crushed before undergoing extraction processes such as steam distillation to obtain the essential oils and active compounds.
This extract is commonly used for its aromatic properties and potential health benefits, including soothing effects and support for digestive health. In skincare, it is valued for its potential antioxidant and skin-soothing properties. However, more research is needed to substantiate these benefits in significant terms.
When you see Organic Fennel Seed Extract on a label, it indicates the inclusion of natural plant-derived substances that may offer mild benefits or pleasant fragrances without synthetic additives.
