Benefits of Fennel 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. Estrogenic materials help to maintain firm skin tone as well as reverse androgen-mediated conditions such as excess sebum production or premature hair loss. As with all metabolically active plant tissues, the seeds of Foeniculum vulgare Miller, contain significant levels of antioxidants. Most important are the oxido-reductases present such as Superoxide Dismutase, Catalase, and nonspecific Peroxidases. Unlike traditional antioxidants, enzymatic antioxidants are not consumed in the process of neutralizing reactive oxygen species (ROS). Almost all biological stress is translated into oxidative damage, with the skin this presents itself as erythema. Traditionally most cosmetics have focused on combatting the threat presented by the Superoxide anion. Most people fail to recognize that the Superoxide anion is transformed into hydrogen peroxide. Hydrogen peroxide is the most dangerous of the ROS, because it can affect cells in so many ways. Hydrogen peroxide can react with lipids to form self-propagating lipid peroxides. It can inactivate sulfhydryl-containing enzymes. Finally, Hydrogen peroxide can react with oxygen to form hydroxyl radicals. Out Fennel Extract has been standardized to contain a minimum of 200μM/g of Peroxidase. Peroxidases are enzymes that catalyze the reaction: 2 H2O2 2 H2O + O2 Effectively, Peroxidase transforms hydrogen peroxide to water, completely eliminating the threat of oxidative damage. Fennel Extract can help protect hair or skin from the detrimental effect of the enviroment. In hair care applications. Fennel Extract can also be used to scavenge residual peroxide left after bleaching or dyeing. Fennel contains anethole, which can explain some of its medical effects: it, or its polymers, act as phytoestrogens.
