Product Details
FEATURES AND BENEFITS
Rooted in Tradition: Steam distilled from the roots of Vetiveria zizanoides in Madagascar, Vetiver Organic Essential Oil is QAI and USDA certified — sourced from plants grown using natural, organic farming methods.
A Balancing Base: With a strong, earthy aroma and smoky, woody undertones, Vetiver provides a grounding foundation that adds depth and structure to natural blends. It also acts as a fixative, slowing the evaporation of lighter top notes and helping scents linger. Its rich profile pairs well with citrus, floral, and spicy oils.
Fragrance of the Soil: Often called the Oil of Tranquility — or more poetically, the fragrance of the soil — Vetiver Organic Essential Oil carries a root-derived scent long used in calming rituals, from temple ceremonies to traditional aromatherapy. This oil is also known for its role in purification practices, lending grounding energy to blends crafted for calm, clarity, and intentional living.
Moisturizing and Conditioning: Vetiver helps hydrate dry skin, support elasticity, and soothe the scalp. Makers use it in creams, balms, aftershaves, and beard oils for its skin-conditioning benefits and warm, grounding aroma.
DESCRIPTION
Distilled from the roots of Vetiveria zizanoides, Vetiver Organic Essential Oil captures the earthy soul of the plant. Its name comes from a Tamil phrase meaning “hatcheted up,” a nod to the traditional method of harvesting.
Vetiver has long been used in perfumery, purification rituals, and aromatherapy. Its smoky-woody scent became a staple in men’s fragrances during the Middle Ages and remains a classic base note today. Makers value its grounding and fixative qualities, which help anchor scent blends and lend a calm, lingering presence to skin care, massage oils, and diffuser creations.
