Description
Pure Indigenous Cape May Essential Oil is a steam-distilled essential oil from Coleonema album, a South African
botanical known for its bright, green-citrus aromatic profile. It is used in aromatherapy and home fragrance blends
where a fresh, clean, herbaceous character is wanted. The scent feels crisp and lively, yet still gentle enough for
calmer evening or everyday use. This is a concentrated essential oil and must be diluted before skin application.
♡ Why we love it: Cape May has that fresh, outdoorsy feel that makes a room smell instantly cleaner and brighter. It
works beautifully in home blends, especially when you want something green and uplifting without becoming too sharp.
