We only use the tips of the branches and the berries for our juniper soap.

Juniper has a cleansing effect and helps renew skin cells and alleviate scalp and skin problems.

Juniper is a shrub that grows wild in Europe, Northern Asia and North America. It is an evergreen and thus related to spruce and fir, with their needle-like leaves.
The berries are purplish black with a blue waxy coating. They have a characteristic taste and smell. Juniper berries can take two to three years to ripen, which explains why both blue and green berries grow on the same shrub at the same time.
