Description
Engelmann Spruce Essential Oil is obtained by steam distillation of the needles and young branches of Picea engelmannii, a conifer native to North America. It has a fresh, crisp, woody, balsamic, and evergreen aroma that is widely used in natural cosmetics, personal care products, and aromatherapy. In cosmetic formulations, it is valued for its skin-conditioning, purifying, deodorizing, and scalp-refreshing properties while imparting a clean forest-like fragrance.
