History:
Amyris essential oil serves
as an inexpensive alternative to Sandalwood oil. Originally cultivated primarily
in Haiti where it was known as 'candle wood' and used as a torch by locals
due to the tree's high oil content. The botanical origin of the tree
yielding this oil remained obscure until 1886 when striking differences
between this and true Sandalwood Mysore were revealed by microscopic
examination of the leaves. |

General Safety Information: Do not take any oils
internally without consultation from a qualified aromatherapy practitioner.
Do not apply undiluted essential oils, absolutes, CO2s or other concentrated
essences onto the skin. If you are pregnant, epileptic, have liver damage,
have cancer, or have any other medical problem, use oils only under the
proper guidance of a qualified aromatherapy practitioner. Use extreme
caution when using oils with children and give children only the gentlest
oils at extremely low doses. It is safest to consult a qualified
aromatherapy practitioner before using oils with children. A skin patch test
should be conducted prior to using an oil that you've never used before.
