Indian Rosewood essential oil (also known as bois de rose) is steam distilled from the wood chippings of the Dalbergia sissoo tree. The medium to large sized tree is native to the foothills of the Himalayas and the Indian subcontinent. It’s a fast-growing, deciduous tree with a crooked trunk, leathery leaves and white-pink flowers.

Dalbergia sissoo, also known as the Himalayan Raintree, is not an endangered species and does not feature on any CITES (Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora) list.

Indian Rosewood oil is not to be confused with Brazilian Rosewood which comes from the endangered Aniba rosaeodora tree. The Indian tree is grown and produced sustainably through coppicing, and has no links with deforestation.

The essential oil has a fresh, light, sweet, woody aroma with green, spicy, floral hints. Its scent is very similar to Brazilian Rosewood, but is slightly more subdued with its own individual characteristics.

It is a spiritual essential oil with a balancing and harmonising effect. It helps to lift the spirits and can be useful in treating nervous tension and depression. It is a powerful immuno-stimulant and its healing and rejuvenating properties also make is useful in skin care, particularly for sensitive, mature and damaged skin.
