Pure cypress essential oil (Cupressus sempervirens) — steam distilled from the needles and twigs of young branches of the Mediterranean cypress tree. Fresh, herbaceous and coniferous, its clean and uplifting aroma is simultaneously calming, grounding and balancing. Rich in monoterpenes including α-pinene, it is particularly valued in aromatherapy for its broad versatility across skincare, massage and wellbeing diffuser blends.
Cypress oil supports healthy circulation and fluid movement in the body, including the lymphatic and menstruation systems — it is especially effective when incorporated into massage oil blends. Its naturally astringent, balancing character makes it beneficial for oily and blemish-prone skin. It is a classic component of woodland and forest-inspired diffuser blends, and blends beautifully with bergamot, clary sage, juniper berry, lavender, lemon, sweet orange, pine, rosemary and sandalwood.
Available in 10ml / 50ml / 100ml
