DESCRIPTION
Juniper berry is where gin gets its character, and the oil smells like it: crisp, piney, faintly peppery, with a clean bitterness at the finish.
Dolphin Clinic steam distil theirs from the berries of Juniperus communis in France. It is a middle note, drier than pine and sharper than cypress, and it does the heavy lifting in both Toxin Cleanser and Calming and Revitalising.
A few drops in a diffuser after a heavy weekend is the traditional use. Dilute it properly for massage, and avoid it in pregnancy.
Berries rather than needles, which is a meaningful distinction and one worth checking on any juniper oil you buy.
