Introducing Blue Cypress + DIY Aftershave Balm

Bella Martinez
Introducing Blue Cypress Diy

Woody, with a subtle mintiness and likeness to Sandalwood, Blue Cypress is a man’s best friend. This musky oil is only a fraction of the price of Sandalwood, yet has that same rich, bold aroma we EO users all know and love. It is commonly used in men’s body products for its aroma and benefits.

Aromatherapist, Jeanne Rose remarks that Blue Cypress is utilized for its astringent, analgesic and anti-inflammatory properties, as well as to reduce dandruff and soothe sore muscles. Women will also appreciate this oil for its refined aroma, ability to firm skin, reduce redness and more. EG hopes this beautiful blue oil will find its way into your EO collection and be enjoyed forevermore (or until you run out).
