Extraction
Rosewood essential oil is obtained by steam distillation of the wood chips and appears as a light yellow liquid with a distinctive and strong woody-spicy odor, very sweet, warm, almost floral.
Property
Rosewood essential oil, composed mostly of linalool, was the only source of this important aromatic compound until organic chemistry was able to synthesize it. It is now almost impossible to find due to the absolute ban on felling the plants in their countries of origin. Non-toxic and non-irritating, it has stimulant, tonic, bactericidal, antiseptic, and aphrodisiac properties; it is also mildly analgesic. Thanks to its tissue -regenerating properties, it is effective in treating acne and dermatitis, as well as scarring. It blends well with virtually all essential oils, but particularly with citrus, floral, and woody oils.
Uses
Rosewood essential oil was widely used in the production of soaps, cosmetics, and spicy perfumes, as well as in foods and beverages. The relevant technical and safety documentation for the product is available upon request.
Botany
Native to the Amazon, rosewood is found in Brazil and Peru, where it grows wild in the forests. It is a tropical evergreen tree with reddish bark and wood and yellow flowers. It is highly sought after for cabinetmaking, so much so that it has suffered massive felling, which has claimed considerable swathes of virgin forest. Today, it is a protected species.
