Cypress
Pure Wildcrafted Essential Oil, 10 ml
Botanical Name: Cupressus sempervirens
Origin: France
Part of Plant: Twigs & Needles
Extraction: Steam Distillation
Description & Scent Profile:
Steam-distilled from the leafy twigs and needles of French Mediterranean cypress, Cupressus sempervirens essential oil features a crisp, clean, coniferous-woody aroma with subtle smoky and balsamic undertones. Exceptionally rich in naturally occurring alpha-Pinene and Delta-3-carene, Cypress is renowned in botanical body care and natural grooming for its astringent, clarifying, and deodorizing properties. Highly valued in skin-firming body oils, natural deodorants, and beard treatments, it refreshes tired limbs, refines skin texture, neutralizes persistent body and household odours, and brings a grounding, strengthening atmosphere to times of daily stress.
Key Botanical, Cosmetic & Mindful Benefits:
Clarifying & Firming Body Care: Helps tone and tighten the appearance of skin surface texture, making it an exceptional addition to firming body scrubs, dry-brush blends, and thigh-contouring treatments.
Natural Deodorizing & Refreshing Action: Neutralizes stubborn body odours and purifies stale indoor air, serving as a clean, woodsy botanical core for natural deodorants, foot powders, and carpet fresheners.
Revitalizing & Restorative Touch: Delivers a cool, refreshed feel when diluted into body massage oils or bath salts, comforting heavy, tired legs and fatigued muscles after long days.
Grounding & Balancing Aromatherapy: Eases daily nervous exhaustion and mental strain, surrounding the senses with a serene, strengthening forest ambiance.
Best Ways to Experience:
Firming Citrus-Wood Body Polish: Combine 4 drops of Cypress, 3 drops of Pink Grapefruit, and 2 drops of Juniper Berry with 1/2 cup of fine Dead Sea salt and 1/4 cup of Jojoba oil. Gently massage over damp skin in the shower for a smooth, toned surface finish.
Revitalizing Leg & Foot Rub: Dilute 3 drops of Cypress and 2 drops of Highland Lavender into 15 ml of Sweet Almond oil. Massage gently starting at the ankles and sweeping upwards toward the knees to comfort tired, heavy-feeling legs.
Clean Woodsy Beard & Grooming Oil: Pre-mix 2 drops of Cypress and 2 drops of Bergamot into 15 ml of Argan oil. Work through clean facial hair and skin to condition coarse hair and neutralize surface odours.
Balancing Living Space Diffusion: Add 4–6 drops to your ultrasonic diffuser alongside Lemon or Lavender to clear lingering indoor odours and establish a calm, grounded environment.
Aromatherapist's Tip: Cypress is a dry, tenacious middle-to-base note that fixes brighter citrus oils like Lemon and Grapefruit. Combine them in a Jojoba base for an invigorating morning body oil after dry brushing!
