Question 1

What does the high anethole content of fennel essential oil indicate?

Accepted Answer

The main aromatic compound of fennel (Foeniculum vulgare) oil is anethole, which gives it the characteristic sweet, anise-like character. Due to this composition, the oil blends well with spice notes and digestion-supporting compositions; it is potent at higher doses, so it must always be diluted in skin preparations.

Question 2

How should the 10 ml fennel essential oil be stored and how long does it keep?

Accepted Answer

Store in a cool, dark place below 25 °C, in a tightly closed bottle. Unopened, Foeniculum vulgare oil typically keeps for 2-3 years. Once opened, it is advisable to use the content within 12 months, as oxygen gradually alters the aromatic profile.

Question 3

Can fennel essential oil be applied directly to the skin, or does it need to be diluted?

Accepted Answer

In skin preparations, fennel oil is diluted in a carrier oil (e.g. sweet almond, jojoba), typically at 0.5-2% concentration. For sensitive skin, a patch test on the inner elbow is recommended. Particular caution is needed in pregnancy and for children, so please consult a qualified professional.
