Amyris Oil is the naturally occurring essential oil from the wood of the Amyris tree. This

tree is a member of the citrus family but bears no fruit. In the Dominican

Republic, locals use this wood for firewood. Only the dead and dried up wood is

collected from the forest floors, which happens to be the best type of wood for

distillation and helps to maintain the natural forest. No additives, solvents

or chemicals are used at any point of the recovery process. The oil is

recovered through the physical separation process of partial steam

distillation.

It is important to note that Essential oils are extracted from living plants that do

not follow an exact chemical formula or an exact growing pattern; therefore,

each batch of the same oil can vary. Amyris has an aroma that is woody with a

light pepper/ginger high note as well as a light vanilla-like sweetness. Its

aroma is similar to that of the Sandalwood tree and Amyris Oil is often used as

a fixative in fine fragrance formulations.

Amyris Essential Oil is used in a variety of ways. It is most commonly used in soaps, lotions, and perfumery.
