Brilliant Blue Cypress Essential Oil is steam distilled from the bark of the Australian Blue Cypress tree, which is cultivated by the Tiwi people of Australia.

Blue Cypress essence is exceptionally unique as it glows with the beautiful blue, cooling-compound guaiazulene, which has been shown to be deeply nourishing for the skin. Wild-crafted in the Australian outback, our Blue Cypress Oil is more similar to sandalwood and cedar in fluidity, scent, and properties than it is to regular Cypress!
Guaiazulene (similar to chamazulene), is a rare, comforting compound that gives Blue Cypress its unique color and makes it a soother and smoother of skin and spirit. Blue Cypress inspires meditative mindfulness and in perfumes and scent blending, it complements Sandalwood, Neroli, Firs, Citruses, and herbaceous oils. With its inviting, Sandalwood-like aroma and its beaming blue color, Blue Cypress Essential Oil a rare gem.
"Used for thousands of years by the Australian aboriginal people for personal care and household applications, this rare aqua colored essential oil native to the Northern Territory of Australia was selected as the essence of the Sydney 2000 Summer Olympics. Blue Cypress Oil's sweet woody fragrance has smoothing and moisturizing skin benefits. The products range from sports to personal body care, cosmetics and perfumery."
