Schizandra Berry Essential Oil is distilled from the berries of the Chinese Schizandra shrub (Schisandra spenanthera), a cornerstone of Traditional Chinese Herbalism for thousands of years. Known as “wu wei zi” or “five-flavour fruit,” Schizandra offers a unique palette of bitter, salty, spicy, sweet, and sour notes.
Living Libations uses super-critical CO2 extraction to preserve the full spectrum of lipophilic components, resulting in a medium-thick oil with sweet, subtle fruity notes and enhanced aromatherapeutic properties.
This rare essential oil nourishes and moisturizes sensitive and red skin, balances the body and mind, and works beautifully in aromatherapy, massage oils, skincare formulations, and even culinary creations like teas or honey blends.
