Cypress Oil is an essential oil obtained by steam distillation of the needles, twigs, and cones of the Cupressus sempervirens tree. Known for its clean, woody, slightly spicy, and balsamic aroma, this oil contains key constituents such as alpha-pinene, delta-3-carene, and cedrol. It has been traditionally used for its astringent, anti-inflammatory, antiseptic, and decongestant properties.

Cypress Oil is widely used in aromatherapy, skincare, respiratory blends, muscle-relief products, and emotional wellness formulas. It is also found in perfumes, deodorants, and spa treatments for its grounding, fresh, and uplifting scent.
