What is Juniper Tar?

Juniper Tar is a traditional cosmetic ingredient obtained through the dry distillation of the wood and branches of the juniper tree (Juniperus oxycedrus), characterized by its dark color, dense consistency, and distinct smoky scent. Used for centuries in skin and hair care, this potent extract is blended with modern cosmetic science in Lacinia laboratories and transformed into safe and effective formulations. Thanks to the resinous compounds and rich organic molecules it contains, it acts as an excellent balancing agent, especially for skin and scalp prone to roughness and excessive dryness. Known for its natural purifying properties, Juniper Tar offers a deep cleansing and soothing sensation in cosmetic care routines.

Benefits in Skin Care

Juniper Tar is formulated to cosmetically support the barrier of skin or scalp that appears imbalanced or tight. While balancing excess sebum accumulated on the skin surface, it refreshes and soothes sensitized texture. Products containing Juniper Tar, offered with the assurance of Lacinia, nourish the skin without weighing it down, provide vitality, and promote a smoother, healthier-looking skin texture.

How to Use?

Due to its potent effects, Juniper Tar is generally offered formulated within shampoos, soaps, or special topical care creams. When using Lacinia Juniper Tar shampoo for the scalp, apply the product to wet hair by massaging, leave it on the scalp for a few minutes to allow the active ingredients to penetrate, and then rinse with plenty of water. For soaps or gels used in skin cleansing, you can apply by lathering with circular motions and then gently rinse your skin.

Who Can Use It?

It is an ideal cosmetic solution for individuals experiencing the appearance of sensitivity or dandruff on the scalp, or excessive dryness and a feeling of tightness on the skin. It is also frequently preferred to maintain the sebum balance of combination and oily skin. Due to its characteristic scent and intense purifying properties, it is recommended to use it with caution on very sensitive skin.

Things to Consider

Juniper Tar has a unique woody and smoky scent. It should be kept away from very sensitive areas such as the eye contour, and contact with eyes should be avoided. To prevent any risk of irritation, performing a tolerance test on a small area of the skin before starting routine use is a safe cosmetic approach.
