FSS Fennel Extract AQ PET

FSS Fennel Extract AQ PET is a water-soluble botanical extract derived from the seeds of Foeniculum vulgare, a resilient and aromatic herb with a rich history in traditional medicine and culinary use. With its yellow flowers and feathery leaves, fennel has followed the path of civilization, particularly through Roman colonization, and is now found growing wild across the globe.

In skincare and haircare, fennel offers a multifaceted approach to nourishment and protection. Its seed extract is a natural source of kaempferol and quercetin, flavonoids with potent antioxidant properties. More importantly, it contains enzymatic antioxidants like superoxide dismutase, catalase, and peroxidase—which neutralize damaging reactive oxygen species (ROS) without being consumed in the process, unlike traditional antioxidants.

One of the key threats to healthy skin and hair is hydrogen peroxide, a particularly harmful form of ROS that can initiate lipid peroxidation, deactivate key enzymes, and create hydroxyl radicals. FSS Fennel Extract AQ PET is standardized to contain a minimum of 200μM/g of peroxidase, an enzyme that transforms hydrogen peroxide into harmless water—thereby protecting the skin barrier and scalp from oxidative stress and inflammation.

In addition, estrogenic compounds naturally found in fennel can stimulate estrogen receptors in the skin, helping to maintain firmness, regulate sebum, and support hair density, making this extract ideal for anti-aging and scalp treatments. These attributes also make it useful for reversing signs of hormonal imbalance, such as oily skin or premature hair loss.

Perfect for skin-softening formulations or as an antioxidant booster in hair masks and shampoos, FSS Fennel Extract AQ PET is a functional and protective botanical with deep roots in herbal tradition and modern skincare science.
