Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between Amyris and Sandalwood?

Amyris is often called “West Indian Sandalwood” but is botanically different. While both have woody, balsamic aromas, true Sandalwood (Santalum album) is rarer, more expensive, and has a richer, sweeter scent profile. Amyris is a more sustainable and cost‑effective option with a slightly drier, vanilla‑like undertone.

Is Amyris Essential Oil safe for skin?

Yes—when properly diluted. Never apply undiluted essential oils directly to the skin. We recommend a dilution of 1–2 % in a carrier oil such as jojoba, coconut or almond oil. Always perform a patch test first. Check out our Blog for more information.

Is Amyris oil safe for pets?

Essential oils can be potent for animals. It is generally recommended to avoid applying essential oils topically on cats and dogs. Diffusing in a well‑ventilated area away from pets may be safe, but always consult with a veterinarian before introducing essential oils into your pet’s environment. Check out our Blog to discover pet-friendly Essential Oils.

What is the shelf life of Amyris Essential Oil?

With proper storage in a cool, dark place, Amyris Essential Oil has a very long shelf life—typically around 6–8 years. Its aroma can even deepen and improve with age. Here you can discover how to store your Essential Oils to maximize oil life.
