Freshen the Air
Diffuse Cypress on its own or with Lemon or Eucalyptus to refresh and deodorize indoor spaces — great for musty rooms or post-cleaning.

Grounding Aromatherapy
Feeling scattered or tense? Blend Cypress with Frankincense or Cedarwood in a diffuser to promote a calm, centered mood during times of stress or overactivity.

Uplifting Bath Soak
Mix a few drops with Epsom salts and carrier oil before adding to a warm bath for a revitalizing yet grounding soak — especially after a long day.

Shower Steamer Boost
Add a drop or two to a damp washcloth and place in the corner of your shower for an invigorating steam experience that feels like a walk through a forest.

Natural Deodorizing Spray
Combine Cypress with Witch Hazel, water, and other fresh oils like Tea Tree or Lemon for a DIY room or body spray that smells clean and woodsy.

Seasonal Transition Support
Use Cypress in blends during seasonal changes to create stability and clarity — try pairing with Lavender, Grapefruit, or Geranium.

Always dilute Cypress oil before applying to the skin. A 2% dilution (about 6 drops per ounce of carrier oil) is a safe starting point for body oils or lotions.

• Avoid contact with eyes, mucous membranes, and sensitive areas.
• Keep out of reach of children and pets.
• If pregnant, nursing, or under a doctor’s care, consult a qualified healthcare professional before use.
• Do not ingest essential oils unless directed by a certified aromatherapist or healthcare provider.

Essential oils can enhance your well-being when used properly - please use them responsibly and enjoy their benefits as part of a balanced, natural lifestyle.

Shelf Life Guidelines:
At Saffron Herb Co., our essential oils are 100% pure and undiluted, which means their longevity depends on storage and oil type.

• Citrus oils (e.g., Lemon, Orange, Grapefruit): 1–2 years
• Most essential oils (e.g., Lavender, Peppermint, Eucalyptus): 3–4 years
• Resinous or woody oils (e.g., Frankincense, Patchouli, Sandalwood): 6+ years

To preserve the quality and extend the life of your oils:
• Store tightly sealed in a cool, dark place
• Keep away from direct sunlight and heat
• Avoid contamination by not touching the dropper to skin or surfaces

Essential oils don’t "expire" in the traditional sense, but over time, they can oxidize and lose their aroma or effectiveness. Always use your senses - if the scent has changed noticeably, it may be time to refresh your supply.
