Juniper Berry

Juniperus Communis

Juniper Berry is a clarifying essential oil with a rich, woody scent. It has clean, fresh turpentine top notes and smoky, balsamic, peppery undertones and blends well with woods and citruses, as well as lavender and clary sage. It is extremely high in antioxidants and is an effective natural detoxifier that helps to rid the skin of impurities and the effects of pollution. It has antibacterial, anti-inflammatory and astringent properties and can be used to tone and balance the skin and reduce excess oiliness, as well as to treat specific skin conditions such as psoriasis, eczema and acne. In massage it helps to calm nerves and ease nervous tension.
