Essential Oils from Iceland
These essential oils are distilled by Hraundis Gudmundsdottir of Raudsgil, Iceland. There are many related species of plants between Arizona and Iceland (who would have thought!). Even though the environments are completely different, the plants share a strong capacity for adaptation to extreme conditions, and this is reflected in the complexity of their essential oils. These oils contain the strength, clarity and beauty of Iceland. We hope you enjoy them.
Supply is very limited!
Lodgepole Pine (Pinus contorta)
Stimulating, refreshing and cooling, this essential oil is clearing to the sinuses, respiratory system and mind. This distinctive pine has a citrus peel top note.
Sitka Spruce (Picea sitchensis)
Energizing, tonifying, cooling and strong, this essential oil has top notes of menthol, eucalyptus and licorice- mint. Superb!
Sub Alpine Fir (Abies lasiocarpa var. lasiocarpa)
The aroma of this oil is completely different from ours! This is a great analgesic. It has a bright, almost spicy, coniferous aroma that finishes with a hint of citrus.
