Ravensara Essential Oil

Ravensara aromatica | Steam Distilled | Madagascar

Wild-harvested from the lush, humid forests of Madagascar, our organically crafted Ravensara Essential Oil is steam distilled from the vibrant green leaves of the Ravensara aromatica tree. This treasured oil boasts a clean, fresh, slightly citrusy aroma with soft herbaceous and mildly medicinal undertones—making it both grounding and clarifying.

In Malagasy tradition, Ravensara is known as “the good leaf”, revered for generations for its powerful yet gentle healing properties. Long used in African ethnobotanical practices, this oil continues to be celebrated for its ability to support wellness on every level—physical, emotional, and energetic.

✨ Note: Ravensara is often confused with Ravintsara, but these are distinct oils from different species. Ravensara aromatica and Ravintsara (Cinnamomum camphora) have very different therapeutic profiles and should not be used interchangeably.
