Red Spruce Essential Oil (Picea pungens) is a pure distillate from the needles and young twigs of the majestic spruce trees that thrive in the crisp air of high-altitude forests.
Its aroma evokes fresh pine forests, clean mountain air, and morning sunlight over evergreen hills.

The Red Spruce is known for its vital energy, resilience, and aromatic purity.
Through careful steam distillation, its essential oil preserves these natural qualities — combining the bright, camphoraceous tones of conifers with a smooth resinous sweetness that makes it both refreshing and soothing.

This essential oil is a symbol of grounding and renewal — perfect for restoring balance, clearing the breath, and anchoring the spirit.

Red Spruce (Picea pungens) is sustainably harvested from forests in North America and Northern Europe, where careful ecological management ensures minimal environmental impact.
Branches and needles used for distillation are often collected from renewable pruning processes, not from tree felling.

The oil’s production supports forest preservation and responsible resource cycles, aligning it with eco-luxury and sustainable aromatherapy standards.

Each batch is carefully distilled to maintain full traceability and purity, ensuring a therapeutic-grade oil free from synthetic additives or solvents.


Aroma and Olfactory Profile: 

The fragrance of Red Spruce Essential Oil is vibrant, clean, and harmoniously balanced.

Base Notes: Earthy, warm, slightly smoky resin

The overall scent is fresh yet comforting, invigorating yet serene.
It captures the duality of nature — the purity of mountain air with the grounding depth of forest soil.

Unlike some sharper conifer oils, Red Spruce has a gentler, rounder aroma that feels calming, energizing, and emotionally stabilizing.

Chemical Composition: 

The chemical profile of Picea pungens essential oil reveals its balancing synergy between monoterpenes and esters — compounds known for their anti-inflammatory, decongestant, and mood-enhancing properties.

Key components include:

-Bornyl acetate (20–35%) – Calming, grounding, and anti-inflammatory

-α-Pinene (15–25%) – Respiratory stimulant, clearing, refreshing

-Camphene and Limonene – Antimicrobial and uplifting

-β-Pinene, δ-3-Carene, and Terpinolene – Decongestant and energizing

-Bornyl formate and Myrcene – Contribute to smooth, resinous sweetness

This composition gives the oil its soft balsamic warmth and therapeutic versatility — equally effective in emotional and physical wellness.
