Juniper Berry
B2B ingredient for professional formulation evaluation.
Juniper berry oil is steam-distilled from the ripe, dark purple-blue berry cones of Juniperus communis, an evergreen conifer with the widest natural distribution of any woody plant, spanning the northern hemisphere from the Arctic to the Mediterranean. The 'berries' (technically fleshy cones) take 2-3 years to mature on the tree, developing their full aromatic complexity during this slow ripening process. The resulting essential oil has a distinctive fresh, green-woody, slightly peppery aroma with balsamic-sweet undertones, immediately recognizable as the characteristic note in gin. Our juniper berry oil is produced from sustainably wild-harvested berries collected in the Inner Mongolia grasslands, where the high altitude and long summer days produce berries with an exceptionally rich, complex monoterpene profile.

Custom packaging and private labeling available upon request.
Store in tightly sealed, full containers in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Monoterpene-rich oils oxidize readily; minimize headspace in partially filled containers. Shelf life: 2-3 years under recommended conditions.
Under recommended storage conditions — tightly sealed in a cool, dry environment away from direct sunlight — Juniper Berry Oil remains stable for 2 to 3 years. Monitor for any changes in aroma, color, or viscosity before use in production batches.
Juniper Berry Oil is steam distillation from the ripe berries of a plant in the Cupressaceae family.
Every shipment includes a Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing the batch-specific chemical profile (GC/MS or GC-FID), physical parameters (specific gravity, refractive index, optical rotation), and organoleptic assessment. Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS/SDS) is also provided. Additional documentation — including GC/MS chromatograms, pesticide residue analysis, heavy metal testing, and allergen statements — is available upon request.
