Palo Santo Essential Oil

Palo Santo essential oil is a natural resinous oil with warm, mellow aroma and ancient cultural heritage. Sourced from the trunks and branches of Peru’s sacred guaiac tree, its scent fuses woody steadiness, resinous warmth and subtle citrus sweetness. Boasting rustic elegance and forest tranquility upfront, plus lingering soft base notes with a delicate sweet aftertaste, it offers rich layers and potent therapeutic benefits. Packed with guaiacol, pinene, limonene and other active ingredients, this precious oil excels in aromatherapy, air purification and mind-body healing, while bearing local traditional meanings of blessing and evil ward-off.
