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.

Highlights
Certified 100% Pure Essential Oil
Why Purity Matters Essential Oils are sourced from all over the world, and not every source is created equal. Some producers add dilutants, fillers, other oils, or even chemicals to their oils before they ship them out. That is why 3rd-party testing is so important. If you don't see test results, it is possible the oil you are purchasing is not what you think it is.

Though all Wholesale Botanics oils are safe to use as directed, this 100% pure oil is the most natural version of Essential Oil possible, free of any additional substances.

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.
