Blue Cypress Essential Oil is a rare and radiant oil, steam distilled from the bark of the Australian Blue Cypress tree, cultivated by the Tiwi people. Known as Karnitirrikani, the Tiwi use this tree for ceremonial objects, musical instruments, and personal care applications. Its vibrant blue hue comes from guaiazulene, a cooling, skin-soothing compound that nourishes both body and spirit.
With its woody, fresh, and subtly sweet aroma, Blue Cypress resembles a distant cousin of Sandalwood, making it ideal for luxurious massage oils, perfumery, diffusers, deodorants, and skin serums.
