About

Foeniculum vulgare (Fennel) seed water — a fragrant herbal water used for its soothing and antioxidant properties in skincare.

Foeniculum vulgare seed water is a steam-distillate aqueous extract of fennel seeds. Fennel seed contains anethole and fenchone as major constituents. While fennel essential oil has some EU considerations, the seed water (highly diluted hydrosol) is generally considered safe for cosmetic use. No specific EU cosmetic restrictions apply to fennel seed water at typical use dilutions.
