Cypress Essential Oil (France)

Botanical Name: Cupressus sempervirens

Extraction Method: Steam Distilled

Description: Cypress Essential Oil is a timeless essence derived from the Cupressus sempervirens L. botanical. Originating in the Mediterranean region, Cyprus, Italy, and parts of Iran, this aromatic evergreen, it is also known by various monikers as Mediterranean Cypress, Italian Cypress, and Persian Cypress. 

Aromatic Scent: Cypress Essential Oil has been characterised as woody, balsamic and spicy. It has a very pleasant evergreen aroma that is a wonderful combination of smoky, woody and dry elements. It also has fruity and slightly nutty tones with comparisons to an exotic Cedar wood.

Common Uses: Cypress Essential Oil is well known for its moisturising and soothing skincare properties. Among aromatherapists and manufacturers, this oil is considered very similar to Blue Chamomile. It is also regarded as soothing and relaxing for the nerves without having sedative properties.

Usage Directions: In temperatures below 20 degree Celsius this oil could be in a solid state or could have a slightly thick consistency. We recommend placing the bottle in a very hot water bath, changing the water frequently and once it is back to the liquid state be sure to shake well before use.
