Chrysopogon zizanioides
Our organically crafted Vetiver Essential Oil is steam distilled from the dense, aromatic roots of wild-grown Vetiveria zizanoides (syn. Chrysopogon zizanioides) grass, thriving in the lush rainforests of India. Commonly known as Ruh Khus, Khus Khus, or Bunchgrass Essential Oil, Vetiver is cherished for its rich, amber-hued body and deep, smoky-sweet, resinous aroma that lingers with a luxurious drydown.
More than just a perfume fixative, Vetiver is a deeply healing oil—an anchor for both the body and mind. Its complex, long-lasting scent makes it a prized base note in perfumery, while its therapeutic properties make it a true staple in holistic wellness.
Vetiver is not only a treasured aromatic but also a natural earth healer. Its fast-growing roots are used worldwide to revitalize soil, prevent erosion, and absorb agricultural toxins, making it a vital component of phytoremediation efforts in over 100 countries.
This essential oil owes its rich chemistry to the very soil it’s grown in—each batch holds a slightly unique aromatic signature, shaped by nature. Vetiver’s distinctive scent and healing benefits come from over 150 sesquiterpene compounds, especially khusimol, alpha-vetivone, and beta-vetivone, the molecular “fingerprint” of this grounding oil.
Vetiver is known for its cooling, nourishing properties, making it a powerful ally for skincare. It helps calm eczema, rosacea, and inflamed or irritated skin, while promoting a healthy, radiant complexion.
With anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and antifungal qualities, Vetiver Essential Oil can assist in relieving joint discomfort, and may be used in liniments and massage blends to support comfort and movement.
Used extensively in natural perfumery, Vetiver brings depth, complexity, and balance to blends. Its rich base note enhances longevity and grounds brighter top notes for a more rounded aromatic experience.
Vetiver is one of the most centering and calming oils in aromatherapy. It offers powerful support for:
