Guarantee 100% natural products.

Amyris wood oil, also known as West Indian sandalwood oil, is an essential oil derived from the wood of the Amyris balsamifera tree, a species of flowering plant in the citrus family Rutaceae. Despite its common name, Amyris wood oil is not related to true sandalwood (Santalum spp.), but it is sometimes used as an affordable alternative or substitute due to its similar aroma.

The oil is obtained through steam distillation of the wood of the Amyris tree, resulting in a highly aromatic and concentrated liquid with a warm, woody, and slightly sweet aroma. It is often described as having similarities to sandalwood oil, with a rich and creamy scent.
