FAQ

What is the mastic tree?
Pistacia lentiscus is a shrub of the Mediterranean maquis, from the same family as the edible pistachio tree. It produces mastic resin (Chios mastic), used since Antiquity. The essential oil is distilled from its twigs and leaves and is different from mastic resin.

Why the 2ml format?
Mastic is a fairly rare essential oil, produced in small quantities in limited harvesting areas. The 2ml format is adapted to its production cost and its use in small quantities in cosmetic massage preparations.

Can you combine mastic and cypress?
Yes, it is a classic cosmetic synergy for vascular drainage preparations. Both are Mediterranean plants with compatible monoterpene profiles, and their dry, woody notes harmonize perfectly.
