Holy Wood of the Ancient Forests

A revered aroma carried through generations of South American tradition.

Palo Santo grows in the dry forests of South America, where it has been honoured for centuries as a sacred wood.

Traditionally only naturally fallen branches are gathered and aged, which deepens the aroma before distillation.

Responsible harvesting matters; choosing ethically sourced Palo Santo helps protect these slow-growing trees.

SAFETY

Dillution guideline

  • For skin use, dilute to 2-3% in a carrier oil such as jojoba or argan.

  • Patch test

Apply a small diluted amount to the inner forearm and wait 24 hours before wider use.

  • Children

Keep out of reach of children; for children over 3, use only at very low dilution and consult a qualified aromatherapist.

  • Pregnancy

If pregnant or nursing, consult a healthcare professional before use.

  • Pets

Keep away from pets; high-limonene oils can be especially problematic for cats. Diffuse only in ventilated spaces and never apply to animals.

  • Photosensitivity

Not typically classified as phototoxic; however, its high limonene content oxidises over time, and oxidised oil may cause skin sensitisation.

  • Ingestion

Do not ingest unless under qualified professional guidance.

  • Storage

Store tightly closed in a cool, dark place away from heat and light; because it is limonene-rich, minimise air exposure and use within its shelf life.
