Fennel is one of the essential oils that will crystallize (not freeze) due to the content of anethole, which makes up 75.8% of our Sweet Fennel. Anethole is also shown to be highly therapeutic for its antioxidant and anti fungal properties.
Crystallization should happen somewhere between 3-6C. This is one test that can be done to verify the authenticity of Fennel Essential Oil.
This does not affect the therapeutic value of the oil, and it will return to liquid form once it reaches room temperature, which could take up to a few hours.
