{"product_id":"sandalwood-amayris-50ml297","title":"Sandalwood Amyris Essential Oil 50ml – Amyris Balsamifera | Steam Distilled Jamaica","description":"\u003cp\u003eDiscover the warm, creamy softness of pure Amyris Essential Oil, steam distilled from the wood and branches of Amyris Balsamifera sourced from Jamaica. Soft, warm and gently balsamic — with a smooth, woody creaminess, a subtle, slightly sweet resinousness and a clean, quietly grounding depth — Amyris is one of the most accessible, versatile and aromatically pleasing essential oils in aromatherapy and natural perfumery.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAmyris Essential Oil is also known as West Indian Sandalwood — a name that reflects its warm, woody and gently creamy aromatic character, which is pleasingly reminiscent of true Sandalwood, though botanically quite distinct. Amyris Balsamifera is a small, flowering tree native to Haiti and the wider Caribbean, where it grows wild in the dry, coastal scrublands. Its wood is extraordinarily rich in essential oil — so rich, in fact, that it burns by itself like a candle, earning it the local name ‘Candle Wood’ among the Jamaican and Haitian populations who have used it for centuries as a natural torch and source of light.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe botanical identity of Amyris Balsamifera remained a subject of considerable scientific uncertainty until 1886, when microscopic examination of its leaves finally established the clear differences between this plant and true Sandalwood — a fascinating chapter in the history of botanical science. Amyris offers a beautifully warm, woody and gently grounding aromatic character at a more accessible price point than true Sandalwood, making it a popular and valued ingredient in natural perfumery, aromatherapy blending and premium home fragrance formulations. Its calming, grounding aromatic character makes it a particularly popular choice for meditation and mindfulness practices.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis 50ml size is ideal for professional formulators, therapists and those who incorporate Amyris regularly into their practice or product making.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProduct Details:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLatin Name:\u003c\/strong\u003e Amyris Balsamifera\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePart of Plant:\u003c\/strong\u003e Wood \u0026amp; Branches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOrigin:\u003c\/strong\u003e Jamaica\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eExtraction Method:\u003c\/strong\u003e Steam Distillation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSize:\u003c\/strong\u003e 50ml\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow to Use:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDiffusion\/Oil Burner:\u003c\/strong\u003e Add 3–5 drops to your diffuser or oil burner for a warm, softly woody and gently grounding aromatic atmosphere — particularly beautiful for meditation and mindfulness practices\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMassage:\u003c\/strong\u003e Blend with a carrier oil such as Sweet Almond or Jojoba for a warm, softly balsamic and grounding massage experience\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNatural Perfumery:\u003c\/strong\u003e An excellent and accessible woody base note — blends beautifully with Sandalwood, Cedarwood, Frankincense, Rose, Jasmine, Ylang Ylang and other resinous, floral or citrus essential oils\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSkincare:\u003c\/strong\u003e A popular emollient addition to natural skincare formulations — always dilute well in a carrier oil before topical use\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTopical:\u003c\/strong\u003e Always dilute thoroughly with a carrier oil before any topical application\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCautions:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePossible skin sensitivity.
