Bursera graveolens

Palo Santo essential oil is steam-distilled from the wood of Bursera graveolens, a tree native to South America and revered for centuries in spiritual and ceremonial traditions. With its soft, resinous, and gently citrusy aroma, Palo Santo is a staple in our apothecary—valued for its unique scent and ritual significance.

Rich in naturally occurring limonene, Palo Santo’s aroma is often used in diffuser blends or palm inhalation to promote a sense of clarity and calm. Its scent is grounding yet subtly elevating, making it a favorite for meditative practices, reflective moments, and creative rituals.*

With a smooth sweetness reminiscent of Frankincense, Palo Santo oil also adds warmth and depth to body oils and massage blends. Use it to enrich your personal care routines or to create a sacred aromatic atmosphere for ritual or rest.*
