INCI: Eriocephalus africanus Oil

Pure Indigenous Cape Snowbush Essential Oil is a steam-distilled essential oil from Eriocephalus africanus, an indigenous South African fynbos shrub also known as Kapokbos or Wild Rosemary. It is valued for its fresh, herbaceous aroma with a soft camphor-like nuance that suits calm, clean-smelling blends. This oil is often used in diffuser blends, room mists, and carefully diluted topical preparations where a crisp, grounding note is wanted. It is a concentrated essential oil and should always be diluted before skin use.

♡ Why we love it: Cape Snowbush feels bright and quietly settling at the same time. It adds a clean herbal lift to blends and works especially well when you want a room to feel fresher, clearer, and less heavy.
