Juniper Berry oil is a member of the Lamiaceae family. This oil has a fresh, rich-balsamic, woody-sweet and pine needle-like odour, reminiscent of evergreen oils. It is classed as a middle note and blends well with camphoraceous, citrus, earthy, floral, herby, minty, spicy and woodsy oils.
Juniper Berry is known to inhibit the growth of germs, cleanse and detoxify. It is a refreshing tonic and when used in skincare may help with acne due to its anti-bacterial properties.
Essential oils can be applied topically once diluted with a carrier oil. They are widely used in cosmetic goods and handmade crafts.
