White Cypress Wood Oil - Australia
Callitris glaucophylla
White Cypress essential oil is a new player in the Australian native arena. There are approximately 16 species of Cypress Pines in Australia, 14 of which are native.
The White Cypress pine has a strong place in Indigenous Australian culture (oars, resin and medicine) and now essential oil production.
The oil, distilled from the wood, not the leaf, on Wiradjuri land, has a mild yellow colour with a woody, forest-like grounding aroma. Think perfume with this one. You only need a touch to make a difference.
TRY: Try blending with Eucalyptus Blue Mallee, Lavender or Neroli oil for a masculine natural perfume.
The White Cypress harvest is part of a regeneration project that is improving the population of the endangered Pink Wormtail Lizard.
By stripping out selected trees the forest floor has access again to sunlight critical to developing vegetation and insect species that the lizard thrives upon.
Further, the spent biomass of the White Cypress Wood after steam distillation is currently being tested as a potential product to develop commercial building panels in city high rises.
