Description
Amyris balsamifera | 100% Pure Essential Oil
Description
Often referred to as West Indian Sandalwood, Amyris Essential Oil is steam-distilled from the bark of the Amyris balsamifera tree, native to the Caribbean. While not a true sandalwood, it shares a similarly soft, woody aroma with subtle balsamic and vanilla-like undertones. Valued for its calming, grounding, and skin-supportive properties, amyris is a beautiful and sustainable alternative to Indian sandalwood.
