The medicinal benefits of Fennel Extract are well recognized by practitioners of herbal medicine. Fennel is known for its ability to stimulate estrogen receptors. Estrogenic compounds have significant, well-known cosmetic benefits. These compounds help to maintain firm skin tone as well as reverse androgen-mediated conditions such as excess sebum production or premature hair loss.
Additionally, as with all metabolically active plant tissues, the seeds of Foeniculum vulgare Miller, contain significant levels of antioxidants. Most important are the oxido-reductases. The Herbarie's Fennel Extract has been standardized to contain a minimum of 200 uM/g of Peroxidase.
Herbarie Fennel Extract can help protect hair or skin from the detrimental effects of the environment. It can also be used to scavenge residual peroxide left on hair after color treatments.
Fennel Extract can be used in conjunction with Superoxide Dismutase as a catalyst. See Superoxide Dismutase for more information.
