Amyris Certified Essential Oil

Amyris Essential Oil (Amyris balsamifera)

Amyris essential oil, often referred to as “West Indian Sandalwood,” is valued for its grounding, calming, and skin-supportive properties. Rich in sesquiterpene alcohols such as valerianol and β-eudesmol, it promotes deep relaxation, helping to ease stress, nervous tension, and restlessness—making it beneficial in evening or meditation blends.

Therapeutically, it supports emotional balance and may assist with mild anxiety and sleep disturbances due to its sedative-like effects. For the skin, Amyris offers gentle moisturizing and soothing properties, helping to calm dryness, irritation, and the appearance of aging skin.

Its warm, woody aroma also acts as a natural fixative in blends, enhancing longevity while contributing subtle antimicrobial and purifying benefits.
