Palo Santo Essential Oil Steam Distilled Peru 50ml

• The first impression is warm and woody, with a light sweetness that comes through gently.
• Its scent is milder than white sage, so it suits spaces where you want atmosphere without heaviness.
• A natural choice for a quiet diffuser blend, especially when the room needs a more contemplative mood.
• The resinous character gives it depth, while the sweet edge keeps it smooth rather than smoky.
• It sits well in a mindful home ritual, from a cleared desk to a calm corner before meditation.

This oil comes from Bursera graveolens wood, a South American tree from the same botanical family as frankincense. The oil is extracted by steam distillation, a method that carries the aromatic compounds from the wood into a concentrated essential oil with a warm, resin-wood character.

Palo santo means ‘holy wood’ in Spanish, a name that reflects its place in South American ritual practice. It is associated with Indigenous and Inca traditions, where the fragrant wood has been used ceremonially for purification, clearing and setting sacred space. In modern aromatherapy and home ritual, palo santo is often chosen for intention-setting, meditation and moments of transition, as a scent that marks a shift in the day.

Add a small amount to a diffuser, following your diffuser’s own instructions. For topical use, dilute well in a carrier oil and patch test first.

Do not use internally. Keep essential oils away from children and pets, and seek qualified guidance before use during pregnancy or with sensitive skin.
