Cypress Essential Oil
What Cypress Essential Oil is & what it does
Cypress Essential Oil is a volatile aromatic oil steam-distilled from the Cupressus tree, with a fresh, woody-green scent. In cosmetics it is used mainly as a natural fragrance and for its aromatic character rather than as an active. As with essential oils generally, it contains fragrant terpene compounds, so sensitive users may prefer fragrance-free options. It is typically included at low levels in toners, body products, and natural formulations.
