JUNIPER BERRY OIL
Steam-distilled from the berries of Juniperus communis, this oil contains alpha-pinene, sabinene, and myrcene that detoxify, balance oil production, and refine congested skin. It supports clarity while strengthening the skin’s resilience. Energetically, juniper berry is protective and clearing, like mountain air that sweeps away stagnation and restores freshness to both skin and spirit.
How it works on the skin
Detoxification and purification: Juniper’s monoterpenes support lymphatic flow and cellular turnover, encouraging the removal of metabolic waste and helping the skin look clearer and more refined.
Sebum regulation: Its balancing action helps normalize oil production, making it beneficial for congested, blemish-prone, or combination skin types.
Astringent refinement: Juniper subtly tightens pores and tones the skin surface, improving texture and reducing the appearance of excess shine.
Antioxidant defense: Alpha-pinene and myrcene neutralize free radicals and oxidative stress, preserving skin vitality and protecting against environmental aggressors.
Strengthening resilience: Through mild antimicrobial activity and tissue support, juniper berry reinforces the skin’s natural defenses while supporting recovery from irritation or breakouts.
The sensory effect
With a crisp, resinous, slightly fruity aroma, juniper berry evokes mountain air—fresh, clean, and expansive. Its volatile compounds stimulate the senses, clearing mental fog and instilling alertness. On the skin, this invigorating effect translates to visible clarity and brightness.
Energetic signature
Within Forrestine’s botanical perspective, juniper berry embodies protection and renewal. It is clearing yet grounding, like a deep breath taken on a cold alpine morning. Energetically, it sweeps away stagnation and heaviness, replacing it with freshness, vitality, and light.
