Cypress
Cypress essential oil improves the appearance of oily skin. It can also improve the appearance of unsightly veins. Aromatically, cypress has a woody scent that can relax and calm the mind.
The Cupressus sempervirens tree can live to be over 1000 years old and produces soft green needles and twigs all year long. Our cypress essential oil is steam-distilled from needles and twigs grown in France and Spain.
