Juniper Berry Essential Oil

Juniperus communis

Plant and Oil Description

SenseLAB’s juniper oil emanates not only a sweet and spicy, herbaceous aroma, but also provides phenomenal attributes for skin care. The essential oil comes from the deep blue, aromatic berries of the Juniper coniferous evergreen trees. Juniper is an incredibly hardy tree species that can be found from tropical Africa to the highest tree-lines on Earth in the Himalayan mountains. 

What’s it Good For?

1. Youthful skin – Juniper is high in vitamin C, flavonoids, and monoterpenes, which are beneficial for fighting free radicals, reducing cellular damage, and promoting collagen synthesis. Add a few drops of SenseLAB’s juniper oil to your everyday lotions and creams to keep your skin looking young and beautiful. For an extra nourishing treatment, dilute in a nourishing carrier oil and apply directly to skin.
2. Dry skin and rashes – The thujone found in juniper oil is beneficial for itchy skin, and is perfect for alleviating the irritation associated with dry skin, poison oak, and poison ivy rashes. Juniper berries also contain several types of monoterpenes that have anti-inflammatory properties to further soothe tender skin. Mix SenseLAB’s juniper oil with a mild carrier oil and apply to the affected area as needed.
3. First aid – Juniper may have antimicrobial benefits from the compound thujone, making it a potential catalyst for healing wounds, preventing infections, and decreasing inflammation. In addition, the monoterpenes found in juniper berries are known for their anti-inflammatory and antibacterial properties. 

How to Use It?

Dilute in a carrier oil and gently massage into skin to relieve itchy skin. Add a few drops to an everyday lotion or cream to protect and nourish skin. To enjoy the spicy earthy aroma, add to a diffuser or vaporizer. Pairs well with myrrh, cinnamon, clove, cedar, sandalwood, eucalyptus, and vanilla oil.
