Cypress Essential Oil

Botanical Origin and Extraction Process

Cypress (Cupressus sempervirens) is a perennial coniferous tree, native to the eastern Mediterranean region, where it has been revered for centuries for its longevity and majestic presence. The branches and young leaves of this tree are the source of our valuable essential oil, obtained through a meticulous steam distillation process. This method ensures the preservation of the plant's volatile aromatic and beneficial components, resulting in a pure and potent oil.

Sustainable sourcing of raw materials is a priority for doTERRA, guaranteeing not only the quality of the final product but also respect for the ecosystems of origin and local communities. This commitment is reflected in every drop of Cypress essential oil, bringing the pure essence of the Mediterranean to your home.
