The enchanted wood of Palo Santo is known as "holy wood," and has been revered for centuries for its profound spiritual properties. The scent is a woody, resinous mint with distant citrus notes. Celebrated for its ability to cleanse negative energy and promote emotional well-being, Palo Santo oil is a master nervous system regulator and general tonic to combat fatigue and stimulate recovery.
 
Physically, Palo Santo works as a lymphatic & venous decongestant. This oil is anti-inflammatory & anti-bacterial, addressing neuralgic skin ailments, calming irritated or damaged skin and decongesting the respiratory system.  This body oil may be embraced as a liniment for rheumatism & joint discomforts, and further may be used for body aches after physical training and sports.
 
This oil boosts hair shine, cleansing the scalp and stimulating hair growth through the encouragement of blood circulation. 
 
The fresh, sweet-grassy oil of Palmerosa is deeply valued for its skin-regenerating and hydrating properties, an excellent healer of scars. Toning cellulite-prone skins and purifying imperfections. Its balancing properties promote emotional well-being and ease stress while stimulating the immune system.
 
Palmerosa oil promotes healthy hair by strengthening hair follicles and eliminating dead skin cells when applied to the scalp.
 
Rose Geranium balances oil production, soothes irritation, and promotes a clear complexion. This beautiful plant is well respected for its antibacterial and anti-inflammatory properties,  aiding in acne treatment and wound healing. 
 
Rose Geranium possesses soothing and purifying properties for the scalp, and wonderfully improves hydration of the hair fibre.
 
Rosemary contains rosmarinic acid, which helps to boost collagen production, contributing to improved skin elasticity and firmness.  Rich in antioxidants, rosemary protects skin cells from damage caused by free radicals and environmental pollutants.
 
Rosemary improves the texture of hair and encourages growth while addressing hair loss conditions. 
 
Cinnamon Leaf has a toning effect on the body, stimulating the glandular system and relaxing tight muscles.. This oil stimulates circulation and improves the health of both scalp & hair.

Sandalwood reduces the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, evens skin tone and potentially aids in wound healing and reduces hyperpigmentation.  Sandalwood oil strengthens hair follicles and encourages hair growth.
 
Kalahari Melon Seed Oil is packed full of antioxidants, it has a hydrating and tightening effect. This oil is rich with Omega-6 and omega-9 fatty acids, which aren’t created naturally within the body, so they must be found elsewhere for their benefit to be realised. These stimulate skin cell growth, prompting regeneration and giving skin a plumper, fresher appearance.
 
Kalahari Melon Seed Oil penetrates deeply into the hair shaft, providing intense hydration and nourishment. 
 
Abyssinian Crambe oil can provide effective moisture without feeling heavy or greasy on dehydrated skin. It fights dryness and flakiness while leaving the skin soft and supple. It balances sebum production and helps form a protective barrier on the skin's surface, effectively preventing moisture loss. This oil coats the hair shaft, adding moisture and shine, decreasing frizz. Abyssinian Oil contains very high levels of unsaturated fatty acids, which creates a richer feel and is ideal for thicker, coarser hair. Even with its rich nature, it is easily absorbed, never feeling sticky or greasy
 
Grapeseed oil is a good source of linoleic acid, a fatty acid known for its moisturizing properties, and it can help strengthen the skin barrier. It is also considered non-comedogenic, meaning it is unlikely to clog pores. The fatty acids in grapeseed oil can contribute to improved skin elasticity and a more youthful appearance.
 
Grapeseed Oil is wonderfully lightweight! A great sealant, locking in moisture & is a natural hair conditioner, greatly improving hair strength.
 
NOTE ON PALO SANTO (from Ecuador, responsibly sourced) used in this formulation: Palo Santo, just like its cousins Frankincense and Myrrh exudes a highly aromatic resin (graveolens in Latin means “Strong smelling”). The tree has been revered since Inca times, and all its part used in different applications for traditional herbal medicine as well as for emotional, spiritual purification in rituals.
 
In Ecuador, the harvesting of Palo Santo is now monitored by forestry programs to ensure sustainability. Only the dead branches and fallen old trunks are gathered from the forest floor. They are left to age while their aromatic compounds mature and concentrate in the wood. 
 
When matured, some of the wood is reserved to be used for fumigations, dried powders for incense, decoctions, tisanes and other herbal applications for fevers, infections, and skin afflictions.
The rest is shredded, and steam distilled to produce an essential oil of the best quality.
