Description
Why should I add Juniper Berry oil to my collection? One of the main chemical constituents found in Juniper Berry essential oil is alpha-pinene, a monoterpene that can help moisturize the skin, promote a more even-looking tone, and even support oral hygiene. The spicy, yet fresh aroma of Juniper Berry oil helps create an aromatically calming environment during a personal massage or when diffused before bed.
