Cypress Essential Oil

Cupressus sempervirens | Purifying, Grounding & Revitalizing

Cypress Essential Oil is steam-distilled from the needles and twigs of the Cupressus sempervirens tree, known for its fresh, clean, and woody aroma. This oil is widely recognized for its ability to promote respiratory wellness, improve circulation, and calm nervous tension.

Its natural astringent and anti-inflammatory qualities make it a go-to for massage blends, especially for varicose veins, muscle cramps, and cellulite. Cypress oil also helps balance oily skin and reduces excessive perspiration, making it useful in skincare and deodorant formulations.

Sustainably steam distilled from the aromatic cones, leaves, and twigs of the Cupressus sempervirens trees, our organically crafted Cypress Essential Oil originates in the wild, mountainous landscapes of Spain. This clean, herbaceous oil carries a refreshing evergreen aroma—a beautiful balance of crisp green notes, subtle spice, and a smooth, woodsy drydown.

Revered since ancient times, the Cypress tree’s name sempervirens means “ever-living”—a testament to its enduring vitality. Historically carved into statues of gods by the Greeks, Cypress is still celebrated today for its powerful role in holistic wellness, aromatherapy, and natural skincare.
