Vetiver Essential Oil

The earth's most ancient and grounding scent — Vetiver Essential Oil is the root of stillness itself.

Steam-distilled from the deeply buried roots of Chrysopogon zizanioides, our Vetiver Essential Oil carries one of the most complex and profound aromas in aromatherapy — earthy, smoky, woody, and deeply rooted, like rain-soaked forest floor. Called the 'oil of tranquillity' in Sri Lanka and the 'oil of stillness' in India, vetiver is the deepest grounding oil that exists.

Key Specifications

What Makes It Special

Vetiver's deep earthiness comes from over 150 compounds found in the roots. Its viscous nature — one of the heaviest essential oils — means its therapeutic action is slow, deep, and long-lasting. For anxiety, hyperactivity, and grounding, there is no equal.

Benefits

• Exceptional base note that anchors and extends any fragrance blend

How to Use

Safety Notes

Highly viscous — warm gently in warm water if difficult to pour. Dilute before topical use. Generally considered safe — minimal contraindications. Not for internal use.

Come back to earth. Come back to yourself. Vetiver Essential Oil — the deepest root, the stillest calm.
