From our long-time Peruvian partners, Moena alcanforada Essential Oil is only now being shared with the international marketplace. Exclusively crafted by its maker in the Amazonian region of Peru, this oil is steam distilled from sustainably grown and harvested tree branches, leaves, and limbs, from trees that were planted especially for the purpose of developing a tree crop too valuable to cut down and thereby changing the course of rampant deforestation which is occurring in some parts of the rainforest.

A cousin of Brazilian Rosewood, Moena alcanforada essential oil is known for its soothing properties. This oil helps to support inflammation of the body, such as muscles and joints; and of the mind, such as anger and irritation. A camphor-like fragrance; use in a diffuser to create a relaxing atmosphere. Some of the proceeds go to preserving the grower's mission.

How To Use

Dilute by the drop: Essential oils are very strong and must be diluted (usually in a carrier oil) or incorporated into something like a massage oil, lotion, or aroma spray. The essential content should only account for 0.5-2% of the total blend.
Care Tips For Your Essential Oils: Store with cap closed tightly in a cool dark space and away from light. Keep away from direct heat or open flame. If stored correctly, essential oils will last 1-4 years.
Safety Tips For Your Essential Oils: Always use essential oils with caution. Inhalation or prolonged exposure may cause dizziness, nausea, and headaches. Only use essential oils by the drop and always dilute. Before topical use, always perform a skin patch test. Keep essentials out of reach of children and pets. Not recommended for internal use. Do not apply to eyes or mouth.

Botanical Name: Endlicheria metallica

Family Name: Lauraceae

Of Interest: Each year's Camino Verde planting campaign includes the preparation of plants from seed for the coming year. In 2009, Camino Verde secured over a thousand seeds of the often-felled, rarely-planted timber tree known as Moena Alcanforada. Over the course of a year, these young seedlings were nurtured and cared for until they reached planting size at a nursery run by the Peruvian government's Institute for Research in the Peruvian Amazon (IIAP). In the next rainy (planting) season, Camino Verde prepared the ground for and planted the untranslatable Moena Alcanforada, a tree in the same family as bay laurel and avocado noted for its fine timber and its rich camphor-like essential oils.
