This rare 100% pure oil (Bursera Graveolens) now in a 4 oz size bottle, is distilled in small quantities from ecologically and sustainably harvested wood gathered in the Machalilla Park on Ecuador's Pacific coast. Palo Santo Essential Oil has a fine citrus aroma with underlying notes reminiscent of frankincense, its close relative. The wood and oil have distinct therapeutic benefits that are utilized in traditional ethno-botanical medicine of the Andes.
Product Origin
Ecuador
For every liter of Palo Santo oil that we purchase, we donate $30 to help replant these endangered trees. For each donation, one hundred and eighty trees are planted.
In 2017 the Ministry of Environment of the Ecuadorian Government announced the sustainable use of Palo Santo trees in the El Cerrito sector of Jipijapa in the province of Manabi. This adds additional hectares of tree forest to the protection of the government. The trees will be protected and eco-harvested by the local people. The coordinated work allows the traceability of Palo Santo products from planting, picking, transformation and commercialization.
Botanical Name: Bursera graveolens
Of Interest: The tree of Palo Santo is originally from the dry tropical forests on the coast of the South Pacific, Ecuador being the main country where this tree is found. It can takes up to 10 years to produce the oil and to get concentrated in the interior of the tree trunk. Only tree branches that fall naturally from the ground are used to make this oil. The average life of the tree of Palo Santo is between 80 and 90 years.History: The natives in Ecuador have used it mainly to protect themselves from insects (mosquito) and also in ancestral rituals where shamans use this oil to clear bad energy from the bodies. They also used it as essential oil and to perfume their homes.

Pacific Coast, Ecuador
Palo Santo, Bursera Graveolens, is an aromatic tree native to the Galapagos Islands and the dry forests of South America. In traveling along the coastline of South America’s Pacific coast from Northern Peru to Ecuador one is captured by the perfume of Palo Santo. If you follow the perfume trail you’ll reach the Machalilla National Park, located in the Province of Manabi, on the coastline of Ecuador, where you will find the biggest concentration of Palo Santo trees in all of South America. As in Peru, the Palo Santo tree in Ecuador is protected by the national government and can only be harvested under strict conditions. Shamans Market supports these sustainable practices through its association with Deltatau Palo Santo Foundation of Manabi. When walking the trails of the Machalilla National Park with the sun at its peak, the brackish air from the ocean fills up with the aroma of the Palo Santo resin and you are filled with a sense of peace and tranquility.
