Fennel Essential Oil
A Sweet, Herbaceous Aroma for Calm & Clarity
Fennel, Foeniculum vulgare, is an ancient herb long associated with strength, longevity, and courage. Native to southern Europe—especially Greece and Italy—the essential oil is steam distilled from the crushed seeds of the plant.
A gentle astringent, fennel essential oil helps soothe, cleanse, and tone the skin. It works with the skin’s natural oils to brighten dull complexions without stripping moisture. Known for its calming and skin-softening qualities, fennel helps restore hydration to dry or dehydrated skin, supports mature or oily skin, and helps reduce puffiness—especially around the eyes.
Its antiseptic nature and ability to encourage circulation make it a lovely addition to massage blends for easing tension in sore muscles and joints.
Aromatherapy Properties: Fennel’s aroma is fresh, clean, slightly spicy, and subtly sweet with soft anise-like notes. Its scent is both soothing and grounding, helping calm stress, ease mental fatigue, and support emotional balance. It may help lift the spirits during low-energy moments, encouraging motivation, focus, and clarity.
Traditionally, fennel has also been used in aromatherapy to help ease digestive discomfort, a practice rooted in its long history as a soothing herbal remedy.
