Amyris Essential Oil

Botanical Name: Amyris balsamifera
Extraction Method: Steam Distillation (from the wood)
Appearance: Pale yellow to clear liquid
Aroma: Woody, sweet, balsamic, and slightly spicy with warm, resinous undertones, often compared to sandalwood but lighter

Amyris Essential Oil is derived from the wood of the Amyris balsamifera tree, a plant native to the Caribbean and parts of Central America. Known for its sweet, woody, and balsamic fragrance, Amyris is often referred to as the "West Indian Sandalwood" because its scent bears a resemblance to the precious sandalwood, though it is softer and less intense.

Amyris oil is treasured for its calming, grounding, and relaxing effects in aromatherapy. It is widely used in both perfume-making and natural wellness products for its centering qualities, making it a perfect addition to meditation and relaxation rituals. In skincare, Amyris offers gentle nourishment and is often used for dry or mature skin, helping to soothe, moisturize, and rejuvenate the complexion.
