Rosewood Essential Oil Wild Crafted

Sweet, floral, and deeply woody. Rosewood is the oil that does everything quietly, without asking for attention.

Valley of the Moon's Rosewood is a wildcrafted essential oil steam distilled from the wood of Aniba rosaeodora, sourced from Peru. Also known as Bois de Rose, Rosewood contains approximately 70% linalool, the compound responsible for its gentle sedative and balancing effect on the central nervous system. Mild, safe, and extraordinarily versatile, it is one of the few oils that blends beautifully with almost anything and suits almost everyone.

Why It Works

• Immune Stimulating Without Energizing: When you want immune support without the stimulating intensity of Tea Tree, Rosewood is the answer. It supports immunity gently, making it ideal for those with lowered immunity, chronic fatigue, colds, coughs, fever, or infection.
• Central Nervous System Balance: Relaxing and balancing, Rosewood soothes the nervous system without sedating heavily. May also be helpful for jet lag.
• Skin Care: A cellular stimulant and tissue regenerator, excellent for sensitive, aged, and wrinkled skin. Often used in place of more expensive Rose in skin care blends.
• Gentle and Safe: One of the mildest essential oils available, suitable for sensitive individuals and a wide range of applications.
• Blends Well With: Lavender, Marjoram, and Bergamot. Try it in a bath or massage oil.

How to Experience It

• Diffusion: Add a few drops to a diffuser for gentle immune support, nervous system balance, or a soft, floral-woody atmosphere.
• Topical Application: Dilute 1-2 drops per 1 oz of carrier oil before applying to skin. Use in facial blends for sensitive or mature skin, or in massage oils for relaxation and immune support.
• Bath: Add a few drops to a warm bath with a dispersant for a deeply relaxing, skin-nourishing soak.
• Blending: A sweet, floral-woody middle note that harmonizes with almost any oil in the collection.

What You'll Feel

• Balanced: The central nervous system gently steadied, jet lag eased, and a quiet sense of equilibrium restored.
• Supported: Immune function gently encouraged without overstimulation.
• Soft: Skin nourished, senses soothed, and a warm, floral calm that settles without sedating.

Gentle immune support during illness or recovery, jet lag relief, sensitive skin care, relaxing bath and massage blends, or any time you want a mild, safe, and beautifully versatile oil that works quietly and effectively in the background.

A Note on Sustainability

Rosewood has historically been difficult to source sustainably, as harvesting the wood can impact rainforest ecosystems. The Brazilian government now requires that one new Rosewood tree be planted for every mature tree harvested. This oil is distilled from a plantation that follows these guidelines, so you can enjoy it with confidence.
