We happily take bulk orders for anise essential oil. Every size, from 0.5 oz to 400 lbs, comes from the same standard, and formulators, makers, and resellers are all welcome to order at the quantity that suits their work.
A very small amount lends a sweet licorice accent to natural perfume blends, rounding out vanilla-leaning or spiced compositions without taking over the whole formula.
Makers use anise to give handmade soaps and scented candles a sweet, spice-market character. Start low, test small batches, and note your usage rate for repeat results.
Anise essential oil is a concentrated botanical material. For skin use, dilute it to 0.5% to 2% in a carrier oil and patch test first. Keep it away from eyes, children, and pets. It is not for internal use. Store the bottle tightly capped in a cool, dark place.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is this anise essential oil pure? ▾
Every bottle is 100% pure and undiluted anise essential oil, steam-distilled from Illicium verum with nothing added to it. Our published Certificate of Analysis documents the oil, so you can review it before you buy.
Which plant does this anise oil come from? ▾
It comes from Illicium verum, the evergreen tree whose dried, star-shaped fruit pods are known as star anise. If you are comparing listings, check the Latin name, since several oils carry an anise or licorice-style scent but come from different plants.
What does anise oil smell like and what does it blend with? ▾
The aroma is sweet, warm, and licorice-like with a faint spiced edge. It sits comfortably beside sweet orange, clove bud, cinnamon leaf, cardamom, and ginger, which is why it turns up so often in seasonal and gourmand-leaning blends.
How do I dilute anise oil for skin use? ▾
Mix it into a carrier oil such as jojoba or fractionated coconut at 0.5% to 2%. That is roughly 3 to 12 drops per ounce of carrier. Patch test on a small area first, and keep the oil away from your eyes.
What sizes do you offer, and do you sell wholesale? ▾
There are ten sizes, from 0.5 oz to 400 lbs: 0.5 oz, 1 oz, 2 oz, 4 oz, 8 oz, 16 oz, 5 lbs, 25 lbs, 100 lbs, and 400 lbs. Wholesale buyers are welcome, and larger sizes suit makers, formulators, and resellers.
How does per-ounce pricing change across sizes? ▾
Per-ounce cost falls steadily as the size goes up. The largest size works out to less than half the per-ounce price of the smallest bottle, so stepping up to a bigger size is the way to save if you use the oil regularly.
Do bulk orders come with lab documentation? ▾
Yes. Every size is covered by the site's published Certificate of Analysis, from the smallest bottle to the largest container. If you need anything further for your own paperwork, please contact us before ordering and we will help.
Which size should I choose? ▾
Pick 0.5 oz or 1 oz to test a blend or try the scent. The 2 oz to 8 oz range suits regular home diffusing and occasional soap or candle batches. Makers who use it often should consider 16 oz or the larger sizes.
How fast do orders ship? ▾
Orders ship within 1 to 2 business days. Bulk sizes of 5 lbs and up may need extra handling, so allow a little more time for those. Checkout is handled through our Shopify store, where you can pick your size and complete the purchase.
Why is anise a favorite in gourmand perfumery? ▾
Its sweet, warm, licorice-like aroma with a faint spiced edge gives a blend an instant bakery-and-spice-market feel. A small amount adds a recognizable sweet accent to seasonal and natural perfume compositions, so it is usually used sparingly.
