Vetiver Organic Essential Oil

Our organic Vetiver Essential Oil is steam distilled from the thin, long, dense roots of the highly aromatic Vetiveria izanoides (syn Chrysopogon zizanioides) grass growing wild in the rain forests of India. Vetiver Essential Oil is an amber colored, thick essential oil possessing a subtle but sweet, smoky, resin-like aroma; the intensity and complexity of aroma makes this an outstanding base note. This antioxidant essential oil is jam-packed with properties that have been valued for thousands of years both medically and in fine perfumery.

Each and every batch of Amala essential oils is tested by an independent international laboratory before being sent to us. A Certificate of Analysis is issued, stating the purity of the oil.

SAFETY

Keep out of reach of children. If pregnant or under a doctor’s care, consult a physician. Avoid contact with eyes.

Do not use internally unless instructed by a licensed aromatherapist or physician. Essential oils are highly concentrated and powerful oils and can cause serious harm if ingested without the necessary expertise required - for this reason, ingestion of essential oils is NOT recommended.

We do not recommend using essential oils on pets, unless under the care of a veterinarian or aromatherapist.
