Vivacious Vetiver Essential Oil is distilled from the pungent roots of a very aromatic tropical grass. The goodness of this oil is grounding and calming for the skin and spirit, anointing the roots of the skin as the rain anoints the grass. Vetiver is a marvelous moisturizer that helps skin maintain its youthful plumpness while soothing tired tissues, softening the appearance of scars and stretch marks, and balancing sebum production. Adaptagenic in nature, vetiver oil strengthens, stimulates, and tends to balance the skin's garden.

Steam distilled from the robust root of the Vetiver plant, our Vetiver Essential Oil is organically harvested in Madagascar as part of a special project that grows Vetiver to prevent topsoil erosion. Skin thrives with Vetiver's replenishing verdancy and senses revive upon inhaling this earthy-exudate.
Vetiver's full-bodied fragrance earthbounds energy and ensconces the body with earthly ardor.
"Very few remedies, aromatic or otherwise, exert the same depth of restorative action as vetiver."
~ Peter Homes, Aromatica
"The moment one gives close attention to anything, even a blade of grass, it becomes a mysterious, awesome, indescribably magnificent world in itself."
~ Henry Miller
"Vetiver nourishes people who have cold feet or have their heads in the clouds. When we lose contact with the ground beneath us, with reality, we pay the price of a weakened immune system. When in touch with the earth, we breathe fresh air, enjoy the magic of an open fire, and feel the wind blow through our hair."
~ Susanne Fischer-Rizzi, The Complete Aromatherapy Handbook
