Not to be confused with Palo Santo (Bursera graveolens) from Ecuador

Guaiacwood Organic Essential Oil (Bulnesia sarmientoi), steam distilled from the heartwood of the South American “tree of life,” is valued for its deep, grounding, woody scent and versatile therapeutic benefits.

With a smoky, sweet, and peppery aroma, this oil is prized in aromatherapy, skincare, and natural perfumery for its soothing, restorative, and emotionally balancing properties.

Key Benefits & High-Intent Features

• Grounding & Calming: Provides a tranquil, mood-lifting effect—ideal for stress reduction, meditation, and emotional balance. Used to support mental clarity and a peaceful state of mind.

• Skin Healing & Anti-Aging: Antioxidant-rich and gently astringent, Guaiacwood oil helps tighten and tone, slow visible signs of aging, detoxify, and soothe inflamed, irritated, or acne-prone skin. Often included in anti-aging creams, scrubs, and healing balms.

• Anti-Inflammatory & Pain Relief: Reduces swelling, relieves muscle aches, joint pain (including arthritis and rheumatism), and calms sore, tense areas. Excellent in massage oils for relaxation and post-exertion recovery.

• Anti-Fungal & Antiseptic: Useful for skin infections and fungal conditions; supports clear, healthy skin and scalp.

• Lymph & Fluid Balance: Acts as a diuretic, helps with fluid retention, and supports lymphatic health—great for detoxifying massage blends.

• Respiratory Support: Eases congestion and opens airways—add to bath or steam blends for support with cough, cold, or congestion.

• Perfumery Fixative: A long-lasting woody base note that adds complexity and longevity to natural perfumes; blends beautifully with rose, sandalwood, frankincense, citrus, cedarwood, and spice oils.

• Sustainable Sourcing: Sourced from the slow-growing Bulnesia sarmientoi tree—sustainability and ethical harvesting are vital1.

How to Use Guaiacwood Organic Essential Oil

Aromatherapy:

• Diffuse 4–8 drops for grounding, emotional centering, stress relief, and a rich, woody fragrance—ideal for meditation and restful sleep.

• Blend with floral or citrus oils for calming or uplifting diffuser recipes.

Topical (Always Dilute!):

• Skin & Facial Care: Add 2–4 drops per 10ml carrier oil, cream, or lotion for anti-aging, astringent, and anti-inflammatory benefits. Use in acne or healing blends (always patch test).

• Massage: Incorporate into massage oil for relaxation, joint and muscle pain, lymphatic drainage, and PMS relief.

• Bath: Add to bath water (with Epsom salts) for a detoxifying, calming soak.

• Haircare: Combine a few drops with shampoo or scalp oil to support scalp health and control excess oil.

Perfumery:

• Use as a base note and fixative in custom perfumes, colognes, and solid scent blends for depth and longevity.

Safety & Precautions:

• For external use only. Avoid eyes, mucous membranes, and open wounds.

• Keep away from children. Store in a cool, dark place.

• Patch test before use to check for skin sensitivities. Discontinue if irritation occurs.
