Cypress Oil Cupressus sempervirens
Cypress essential oil is distilled from tall evergreen trees native to Southern Europe and Western Asia. The fresh, clean, energizing scent of Cypress essential oil is commonly diffused for an uplifting, aromatic boost. Alongside its invigorating aroma, Cypress essential oil offers a cooling topical sensation and has a unique chemical makeup that makes it an ideal addition to skincare routines.
Description
Why should I add Cypress oil to my collection? One of Cypress essential oil’s main monoterpenes (a chemical constituent) is α-pinene, a component shared by other powerhouse oils such as Frankincense oil, Douglas Fir oil, and Helichrysum oil. This monoterpene helps maintain a healthy-looking complexion while also giving an invigorating sensation to the skin. Cypress essential oil also has high contents of limonene—a key constituent in citrus essential oils—and carene, which combine in Cypress essential oil to give it both intensive cleansing properties as well as it's distinctively grounding yet stimulating aroma.
