Amyris Balsamifera Bark Oil

Amyris Balsamifera Bark Oil is a steam-distilled essential oil extracted from the bark and wood of the Amyris balsamifera tree, a small tropical shrub native to Haiti and the Caribbean. It is often called 'West Indian Sandalwood' due to its rich, creamy, woody-balsamic scent profile, making it a popular and more sustainable alternative to true sandalwood (Santalum album) in perfumery and cosmetic formulations. Formulators value it for its skin-conditioning properties, its fixative qualities that help anchor and extend fragrance longevity, and its relatively accessible supply chain compared to endangered sandalwood species.
