- Native to the Amazon basin, Acmella oleracea has been part of indigenous Brazilian food and plant traditions for centuries, known locally as jambú.

- Its yellow-and-red buds contain spilanthol, the molecule responsible for the famous tingling sensation that fascinated modern cosmetic chemists.

- Steam distilled from leaves and buds, the oil captures a unique green-peppery character rarely found in any other botanical.

I originally bought the oil for the effects, but "thankfully" I haven't had to use it yet, but it's a nice scent.
