FunctionBotanical

What it is — Illicium Verum (Anise) Fruit Extract is a botanical extract from star-anise fruit, used as a plant-based conditioning and antioxidant ingredient.

What it does — It is commonly used to lend antioxidant support and a conditioned feel; it also contributes naturally aromatic anise-type constituents.

Typical use — Found in serums, creams, masks and scalp products at low levels.

Who it suits / good to know — Suits plant-forward routines, but because it is naturally aromatic it may not suit very fragrance-sensitive skin.

Safety — Graded mid risk, reflecting its aromatic constituents that can be sensitizing for some. This is general information, not medical advice. Patch-test if you are fragrance-sensitive.
