Detailed description
Ravintsara essential oil comes from Cinnamomum camphora trees grown primarily in Madagascar. Due to the island’s unique climate and soil, this species develops a distinct chemotype dominated by 1,8 cineole—making it different from ravensara (Ravensara aromatica) and from Asian camphor trees of other chemotypes.
Ravintsara’s aroma is bright, clean, and mild, making it widely loved for respiratory blends, wellness support, and emotional renewal. It is considered gentle enough for broader use compared to stronger respiratory oils like eucalyptus or rosemary, while still offering effective clearing and energizing benefits.
Extraction Method
Ravintsara essential oil is obtained through steam distillation of the fresh leaves of the Cinnamomum camphora CT cineole tree.
Viscosity
The oil has a thin, watery viscosity, ideal for diffusion, inhalers, and blending with carrier oils.
Color
Ravintsara essential oil is typically clear to very pale yellow.
Odor Profile
Its scent is fresh, clean, mildly camphoraceous, slightly sweet, herbaceous, and uplifting, with similarities to eucalyptus but softer, rounder, and more balanced.
