Vétiver – Essential oil 

Format: 5 ml

Origin: Haïti 

A real star, this famous Vetiver with its sensual, warm and enveloping fragrance! Very appreciated in perfumery, also in aromatherapy, among others, for its well-being, calming and tranquilizing effect. This oil is obtained by steam distillation of the roots.¹  

A study conducted in 2005 at the Department of Food Science and Human Nutrition at Clemson University in South Carolina aimed to evaluate the antioxidant activity of vetiver oil in 2005.² The results showed that vetiver oil had strong free radical scavenging activity compared to standard antioxidants such as BHA and alpha tocopherol.  

What a joy to be anchored by its precious and coveted roots, not to mention that its richness in antioxidants makes it a great ally in achieving healthy and glowing skin.
