A powerful wood oil, Black Spruce is steam-distilled from the needles and branches of the Picea mariana tree. With a history of use by Native Americans to promote skin health, it’s the perfect addition to a cleansing skincare routine.
Black Spruce contains high amounts of the chemical constituent bornyl acetate, which provides a calming aroma. Diffuse it or apply it to the back of the neck throughout the day to enjoy a relaxing sensation and promote feelings of clear airways and easy breathing. Black Spruce also features a cooling, soothing sensation when applied topically. Dilute it with a carrier and massage it into the skin or tired muscles for a comforting massage.
