The cypress trees for this essential oil are certified organically grown in France. The rich soil and the climatic conditions of the region, such as seasonal temperature fluctuations, ensure that the cypress trees are rich in the plant compounds that are responsible for aroma. In addition to coumarin, cypress contains alpha-pinene and delta-3-carene. To produce the essential oil, freshly harvested stems and leaves are gently steam distilled by experienced and passionate farmers at their on-site distillery.
This essential oil is sourced from a renowned and certified producer based in Valréas in northern Provence, France. The company was founded in 1980 and owns several essential oil plantations and farms all over the world. The origin and quality of the plants are well documented. The company ensures that the highest standards are maintained and works professionally and passionately to produce excellent essential oils.
The oils are produced from freshly harvested plant materials via steam distillation. The experienced producers use a very gentle distillation method with low water pressure, which leads to the extraction of almost all the valuable plant substances. Their products are certified organic according to French EcoCert standards.
True cypress belongs to the cypress family (Cupressaceae). These evergreen trees can grow up to 20-30m tall and will take on either a thin, pointed shape or an expansive and bushy form. The leaves are scale-like and the female cones are round or egg-shaped with spines. They are native to a broad region stretching from the Mediterranean to India but today also grow across southern France and southern Europe.
This resinous and refreshing fragrance energises body and mind, promoting feelings of stability and confidence.
