Balsam Fir Oil Product Description

The majestic balsam fir, known as one of the most aromatic holiday tree species, comes from the rolling pine forests of Canada. These magnificent firs produce Balsam Fir oil, an essential oil with a memorable, wintry scent. As the main component, β-Pinene gives Balsam Fir essential oil skin-cleansing and skin-soothing benefits when applied topically, making it a great essential oil to use in an aromatic massage. When diffused, the fresh, woody aroma of this beautiful essential oil enlivens and vitalizes any environment, and inhaling the scent of Balsam Fir oil is sure to evoke memories of the holiday season.

How Do I Use Balsam Fir Oil?

  • Skincare: Add a drop of Balsam Fir oil to your facial cleanser, soap, or body wash to add an extra cleansing effect and an invigorating aroma to your regular personal care routines.
  • Massage: Combine one to two drops of Balsam Fir oil with fractionated coconut oil for a cooling sensation on the skin and a refreshing aroma during a relaxing massage.
  • Bath: Add two to three drops of Balsam Fir oil to a warm Epsom salt bath for a refreshing aroma to enhance a relaxing end to the day.
  • Scented ornaments: Give your plastic tree an enchanting, authentic aroma during the holidays by decorating it with aromatic clay ornaments, each containing a drop of Balsam Fir essential oil.
  • In the diffuser: Diffuse three to five drops of Balsam Fir oil in your home for a refreshing, grounding, and woodsy atmosphere, especially fitting for the winter months or around your favorite holidays.

Fun Fact

How Does Balsam Fir Oil Get Its Origin?

Balsam Fir essential oil is sourced in Canada through Co-Impact Sourcing®. Balsam Fir oil is produced using the same unique, sustainable extraction process as Black Spruce essential oil. This process involves a circular distillation process that reduces waste, generates electricity, and produces 60% fewer greenhouse gas emissions than conventional processes.

What Is Balsam Fir Oil?

Balsam fir evergreen trees, native to North America, tower more than 24 meters tall and produce thick clusters of needle-like leaves. The balsam fir is primarily used for pulp and construction, does not respond well to pollution, and is not common in urban areas – preferring the lush forests of Canada where the air is fresh and clean. Balsam Fir essential oil is steam-distilled from the bark of the tree.

Which Essential Oils Blend Well with Balsam Fir Oil?

The aroma of Balsam Fir essential oil pairs well with other wintry aromas: Clove oil, Douglas Fir oil, Siberian Fir oil, and Frankincense oil.
