Contraindications & cautions

  • moderateSupplier safety guidance (Tisserand Aromatherapy) advises consulting a healthcare professional before using Cypress essential oil during pregnancy and nursing.
  • moderateDo not use on children under 3 years old.
  • minorFor external use only; do not apply undiluted to the skin, and avoid contact with sensitive areas such as the eyes.
  • minorCypress oil is prone to oxidation; oxidized oil carries a higher risk of skin sensitization, so oil should be stored cool and used within 12 months of opening.

THE SCIENCE BEHIND THE SCENT

Inside the oil

28 constituents

An oil's character comes from its natural chemical composition. Explore each constituent to understand the connections.

About this composition

This record is anchored to a directly read 2025 GC/MS report (REVIVE Cypress EO Lot 7Q, Cupressus sempervirens, Greece, steam-distilled needle/twig) which lists roughly 100 total peaks. The profile is strongly alpha-pinene and delta-3-carene dominant, with meaningful amounts of limonene, beta-pinene, myrcene, terpinen-4-ol, alpha-terpinyl acetate, terpinolene, cedrol, sabinene, alpha-thujene, germacrene D, delta-cadinene, alpha-cedrene, alpha-fenchene, alpha-terpinene, alpha-terpineol, para-cymene, camphene, gamma-muurolene, beta-caryophyllene, beta-phellandrene, bornyl acetate, alpha-humulene, tricyclene, alpha-muurolene, gamma-cadinene, and beta-cedrene. 27 of the highest-percentage named peaks from the same GC/MS table are transcribed here (identified total ~95.6%); the remainder of the table consists of dozens of trace/unidentified peaks each under 0.1%.

A TRADITION OF BOTANICAL CURIOSITY

Traditional & reported uses

These uses reflect the profile's reported traditions and literature. They are not established treatment recommendations.

  • traditionally used in aromatherapy for a grounding, composing effect during stress or grief
  • reported to support easy, clear breathing when diffused or inhaled
  • used in massage blends for a cooling, refreshing sensation and muscle comfort
  • traditionally associated with easing occasional tension and restlessness
  • used in perfumery for its fresh, green, coniferous-woody note
  • reported to help with a sense of emotional steadiness during transitions

What we're still learning · 3 data gaps

Good decisions start with knowing what is — and isn't — in the evidence.

  • The public exact dermal ceiling comes from a viewable review/search snippet rather than a fully open primary safety monograph page; the 1.1% figure should still be upgraded if a directly readable primary locator becomes available.
  • Odor intensity 50 is a normalization of public 'medium' aroma-strength language rather than a native published 0-100 measurement.
  • Composition closure is ~95.6% against 27 named constituents transcribed from the REVIVE GC/MS Lot 7Q report; the remaining ~4-5% is distributed across dozens of additional trace/unidentified peaks each below 0.1% in that same report and was not itemized here.
