Gallant and grounding, Living Libations Greenland Moss Essential Oil is a rare forest-born essence that evokes moonlit wilderness, dew-drenched moss, and pristine northern air. Also known as Labrador Tea, this exceptional oil is steam distilled from the wild leaves of Ledum groenlandicum growing in the peat bogs and remote landscapes of Canada.
Fresh, verdant, and quietly powerful, Greenland Moss is prized for its ability to purify spaces, tone skin, and bring emotional clarity. Its aroma has been described as “the Garden of Eden after a sudden spring rain”—green, clean, and deeply restorative.

Fresh, forested, and quietly commanding, Greenland Moss Essential Oil brings the stillness of untouched wilderness into your daily rituals—purifying air, toning skin, and illuminating the inner landscape with calm clarity.
