Organic Ingredients

100% cypress wood (Callitris glaucophylla) essential oil.

“Give your hearts, but not into each other’s keeping. For only the hand of Life can contain your hearts. And stand together yet not too near together:
For the pillars of the temple stand apart,
And the oak tree and the cypress grow not in each other’s shadow.”
~ Khalil Gibran

“White cypress is an evergreen tree native to Australia; it is often found in dry inland areas, as well as near the coasts. The tree grows to a height of about 85 – 100 feet (26 – 30.5 meters) and has grey-green needlelike leaves with silver-grey cones containing small seeds inside.
The tree is also known as white cypress pine.”
