Information
Star anise is a plant from the celery family, whose fruits, called star anise, are used as a spice in cooking as well as an ingredient in the perfume and cosmetics industry. The scent of star anise is distinctive due to its clear, sweet and spicy aromas.
In perfumes, the scent of star anise is often used as a fragrance ingredient with a fresh and herbaceous character. It can be used in both women's and men's perfumes. When combined with citrus notes such as bergamot or grapefruit, the scent of star anise gives perfumes a light, refreshing aroma.
In cosmetics, the scent of star anise is particularly popular in skin care products such as balms, creams, and body oils. Added to cosmetics, the scent of star anise, in addition to its beautiful fragrance, can also act as an anti-inflammatory and antibacterial, which is particularly important in the care of problematic skin.
In the cosmetics industry, star anise is also used as an ingredient in hair care products such as shampoos and conditioners. Thanks to its antibacterial properties, star anise can help prevent scalp skin diseases and support healthy hair growth.
The scent of star anise is also often used in the production of scented candles and other interior aromatizing products. In such products, star anise gives rooms a refreshing and energizing scent, which can help create a pleasant atmosphere at home or in the office.
