Ravensara Essential Oil 50ml

Latin Name: Ravensara Aromatica  |  Plant Part: Leaves  |  Source: Madagascar  |  Extraction: Steam Distillation

Please note: Ravensara (Ravensara aromatica) is frequently confused with Ravintsara (Cinnamomum camphora ct. cineole) — they are entirely different plants with very different aromatic profiles and safety considerations. This is true Ravensara aromatica leaf oil from Madagascar. If you are looking for the high-cineole, eucalyptus-like oil commonly used in respiratory blends, you may be looking for Ravintsara instead.

Warm, spicy, and richly aromatic, Ravensara Essential Oil is a distinctive and characterful oil endemic to Madagascar. Steam-distilled from the leaves of Ravensara aromatica — a tree native to the rainforests of Madagascar and known locally as havozo — this oil delivers a warm, anisic, slightly spicy aroma with herbal and woody undertones. Exotic, complex, and deeply rooted in Malagasy aromatic tradition.

Ravensara aromatica is a member of the laurel family (Lauraceae) and has been used in traditional Malagasy medicine and ceremony for generations. The tree is endemic to Madagascar — found nowhere else on earth — making this a genuinely rare and geographically unique essential oil.
