Cistus Organic Essential Oil, 5ml
Cistus essential oil, also known as Rock Rose, is a precious treasure from the arid lands of the Mediterranean. Steam-distilled from the branches of Cistus ladaniferus, this rich, resinous oil carries a warm, grounding aroma with soft woody and balsamic notes. Revered since ancient times, Cistus has been used in natural perfumery and rituals for its deep, sacred scent - comparable to myrrh, benzoin, or frankincense.
Our Certified Organic Cistus essential oil is 100% pure and natural, containing no additives or fillers. It’s sourced from wild plants growing in the sun-drenched soils of Morocco, carefully distilled to preserve its full aromatic complexity.
How to Use Cistus Essential Oil
For skin regeneration:
Dilute to 2% in a carrier oil (e.g. 30 ml carrier oil + 12 drops of essential oil) and apply to mature, dry, or damaged skin to support repair and renewal. Especially helpful for scar tissue.
Emotional balance:
Diffuse 5–8 drops in an aroma diffuser during meditation or when you need grounding and emotional support. Its warm, resinous scent promotes calm and reflection.
For minor wounds or bleeding:
Cistus essential oil is traditionally used to support hemostatic and skin healing properties. Apply at 1–2% dilution on minor cuts or scrapes (always on clean skin).
Why We Love It
Cistus essential oil is a deeply supportive plant ally - soothing, centering, and skin-loving. Whether you’re looking to nourish your skin, create a sacred aromatherapy moment, or enhance your natural perfumery rituals, this oil is a powerful choice.
If this oil or blend is safe to Diffuse, it will be checked for Dog, Cat, or both underneath:
General Guidelines for Diffusing Around Pets:
- Diffusion Time: Limit diffusing sessions to 15-20 minutes.
- When trying a new essential oil, use 1-2 drops (in the diffuser) and observe how your dog or cat reacts.
- Ventilation: Keep the area well-ventilated.
- Observation: Always monitor pets for any signs of distress when diffusing essential oils.
