Frequently asked questions about Black Spruce

What is Black Spruce?
Picea mariana, steam-distilled from the needles of the black spruce native to North American boreal forests. The oil is rich in bornyl acetate, giving it a sweet, resinous, almost balsamic character.
What is it used for?
Traditionally used to support clear breathing, ground the senses, and lift fatigue. Common in winter respiratory blends.
How is it different from pine?
Sweeter, softer, more rounded — much less sharp than the medicinal edge of pine oils. Often described as more 'forest floor' than 'cleaning product'.
