Anise Essential Oil

Rated 4.4 out of 5
Based on 41 reviews

Revitalize your senses with the rich, spicy, and licorice-like scent of Anise Oil. This essential oil is known for its potential comforting and soothing properties. 

Anise Oil is also great for aromatherapy. Diffuse it to create a relaxing and inviting atmosphere in your home, or add it to massage oil for a warm and luxurious experience.

This essential oil should not be confused with Star Anise, Illicium verum, though it offers a similar aromatic profile and has many shared therapeutic effects. For that reason, those used to Star Anise oil should be well-served by this Anise Essential Oil.

What is Anise Oil?

Anise Essential Oil originates from the anise plant, scientifically known as Pimpinella anisum. Native to Southwest Asia, the Middle East, and the Mediterranean region, the plant has a long history of use for both culinary and medicinal purposes. 

The seeds have been used for centuries as a food source and a flavoring agent. Their distinctive sweet and licorice-like flavor has made them a popular addition to a variety of dishes, candies, and beverages. In traditional medicine, anise was recognized for its potential health benefits due to its rich content of bioactive compounds, including phenols and tannins. 

Anise Essential Oil has found its way into modern cosmetic formulations. Its unique scent and potential therapeutic properties make it a valuable addition to cosmetic products such as perfumes, lotions, bath products, and creams.
