VETIVERIA ZIZANOIDES

Known for its skin calming, cooling and nourishing properties, Vetiver is also used to reduce inflammations. Our Vetiver essential oil is an amber, sticky but deliciously and highly aromatic oil. Its scent is an extraordinarily complex deep sweet, earthy, smoky and yet resinous.

Being very viscous (sticky) this vetiver essential oil might prove difficult to pour with the bottle dropper. That is why we will include a pipette with your order. When ready to use, cautiously remove the dropper from the vial, make use of the pipette to count your drops and place the dropper back on the vial before closing. 

Note that a very little goes a long way with Vetiver essential oil.  Enjoy!
