What is Blue Cypress and how does it benefit skin?
Steam-distilled from the heartwood of Callitris intratropica — one of Australia's most ancient and distinctive conifers. Its characteristic deep blue colour comes from the guaiazulene content, a powerful anti-inflammatory compound. Deeply grounding and calming, with a warm, woody-sweet aroma. Featured in our Harmony collection for its profound effect on emotional balance.
Callitris intratropica has been used in traditional smoking ceremonies by Indigenous communities of northern Australia for thousands of years. The guaiazulene content — which also gives German Chamomile and Yarrow their blue colour — is a potent natural anti-inflammatory that significantly reduces inflammatory skin responses. The resulting oil has a distinctive deep indigo-blue tint, visible even in the diluted form used in our formulas.
