Anethole

Anethole is an aromatic fragrance ingredient naturally found in plants such as anise and fennel. It provides a sweet, warm, licorice-like scent that enhances the fragrance profile of hair care formulations. It contributes to a pleasant sensory experience, leaving hair delicately scented after use. Although Anethole has demonstrated antioxidant and antimicrobial properties in laboratory studies, its direct benefits for hair growth, strengthening, or scalp health have not been established in cosmetic formulations.
