Cypress Essential Oil

Cypress Essential Oil balances and soothes respiratory issues. Its astringent properties make it beneficial for oily skin and edema. Cypress smells light and spicy, while also being as refreshing as citrus oils. Cypress is a great option for DIY deodorants, and as a treatment for excessive perspiration. At Pink Apothecary, we also like to add Cypress Essential Oil mixed with Grapefruit Essential Oil to our All-Purpose Cleaner Recipe.
