Ravintsara Essential Oil

Ravintsara Essential Oil

Botanical name: Cinnamomum camphora

Ravintsara Essential Oil is steam distilled from the leaves of Cinnamomum camphora, a large evergreen tree in the Lauraceae family. Although the tree is related to camphor-producing varieties, Ravintsara from Madagascar is valued for its fresh, clean, cineole-rich aromatic profile rather than a heavy camphor aroma.

This particular Ravintsara Essential Oil is sourced from Madagascar and steam distilled from the leaves. Its crisp, eucalyptus-like fragrance makes it a popular oil in diffuser blends, inhalation blends, massage oils, and seasonal aromatic preparations.
