Rosewood Essential Oil
Rosewood Essential Oil (Aniba rosaeodora)
Rosewood Essential Oil (Aniba rosaeodora) is a beautifully balanced oil with a soft woody aroma layered with delicate rosy-floral and lightly spicy notes. Steam distilled from the wood of the tree, it's long been treasured in aromatherapy, skincare and natural perfumery for its warm, comforting character.
In aromatherapy, Rosewood is valued for its grounding yet gently uplifting aroma, often used to help ease everyday stress and support a calm, settled mood. Its soft, woody-floral scent is a popular addition to diffuser blends, massage oils, bath products and natural perfumes.
In skincare, Rosewood is valued for its skin-supportive qualities, commonly included in creams, lotions and facial oils formulated for mature or tired-looking skin.
Aniba rosaeodora is listed on CITES Appendix II due to historical over-harvesting of wild trees in the Amazon. Our supplier sources this oil from sustainably managed, intentionally planted groves in Brazil rather than wild-harvested old-growth trees, consistent with the industry's shift toward leaf and branch distillation over the past two decades.
A little care goes a long way: Rosewood Essential Oil is a mild skin and eye irritant and may cause an allergic skin reaction, so always dilute well before topical use and patch test first.
