What is Amyris Oil?
Amyris Essential Oil is derived from the wood of the Amyris balsamifera tree, an evergreen bush native to Haiti but now cultivated in various tropical regions worldwide.

Amyris wood was historically valued for its high oil content, making it an excellent firewood choice. Beyond its use as a fuel source, the wood's pleasant aroma and potential therapeutic properties were recognized, leading to its cultivation and essential oil production.

What Our Customers Think
Exellent company. Their customer service is amazing. I highly recommend them.

Excellent
Needed for skin care products. Good quality
Immediate stress relief
The relaxing effect of this oil is so quick and strong, I immediately get a sense of calm as soon as the diffuser starts going.
Sweet fragrance
I find that usually oils that help with congestion are very minty and strong - like peppermint, spearmint, and so on. Amyris oil however, is really good for congestion but has a sweet scent, almost like vanilla, which is heaps better than the minty alternatives.
Strong aphrodisiac
I'm in a mismatched libido marriage. Sometimes it's hard, but we both make an effort and try to find products that help. Amyris oil is amongst the most effective aphrodisiacs we have tried so far, and it is completely natural which is a very big bonus.
