NOW Foods Cypress Essential Oil is a 100% pure essential oil steam-distilled from the branches and needles of Cupressus sempervirens — a tall, elegant Mediterranean conifer with a fresh, clean, woody-resinous aroma that is both invigorating and grounding. Cypress oil is prized in aromatherapy for its astringent and toning properties — particularly in massage blends targeting circulatory support, varicose veins, water retention, and cellulite-prone areas. Its fresh forest aroma is clarifying and emotionally strengthening, helping to promote focus and emotional resilience during times of transition or stress. In skincare, cypress oil's astringent properties make it useful for oily skin and excess perspiration. GC/MS tested by NOW Foods. Dilute well in carrier oil before all topical applications. Not for internal use.
