Sustainability & Sourcing Notes

True Rosewood (Aniba rosaeodora) is a protected species. Our oil comes from sustainable agroforestry — not wild wood harvest.
Leaves, not heartwood: Only distills from pruned leafy twigs to avoid tree loss; comparable in linalool content and aroma to wood-based oil.
Do not confuse with Dalbergia sissoo: Dalbergia-based "Rosewood" is cheaper, more common, and not true Aniba rosaeodora.

Safety & Precautions

Caution	Details
Pregnancy/Breastfeeding	Avoid use during first 3 months unless advised
Undiluted Use	Never apply neat; always dilute
Patch Test	Test before use
Children & Pets	Keep out of reach
Storage	Cool, dry, away from sunlight

Rosewood Leaf Essential Oil (Aniba rosaeodora) is a sustainable perfumery and skincare treasure with a sweet, rosy-floral aroma and gentle potency. Always dilute for safe use, patch test before applying, and consult health specialists if in doubt.
