Sayu-Glossary-Non-Toxic-Essential-Oils-2
Pure Organic Wildcrafted

Every oil in our collection has a history that writes it into a larger story, enhancing its sacred connection to you. The botanical ingredients we use have been either sustainably wildcrafted or organically farmed without the use of any harmful chemicals. Our whole supply chain is transparently traced, ensuring ethical and regenerative harvest practices are emphasized throughout the creation of our entire collection.

“Holy wood” in Spanish, Palo Santo is a revered tree in South America, and wood from the Palo Santo tree has an important purpose for ceremonial cleansing in South American Shamanism. Something unique about Palo Santo is that the tree must die naturally and age to emit the most potent and aromatic essential oil; Mother Nature inviting ethical harvesting as a prerequisite to produce the most beautiful Palo Santo essential oil.

Our supplier is local to South Oregon and has partnered with a family-owned business in Ecuador for close to a decade.  They work on reforestation and are committed to only harvesting from naturally fallen trees.  To date, our supplier has replanted over 11,000 Palo Santo trees and provides local initiatives for the community to care for their environment - all while producing beautiful, ethical and fully aromatic Palo Santo extracts.

"What was said to the rose that made it open was said to me here in my chest." -- Rumi

Our organic Rose Otto nectar comes from a genius inventor and alchemist who has developed a unique method for refining a beautifully pure distillation of organic Rose flowers known for their beautiful red color and their depth of rich aromatic quality. 

Typically when one finds an authentic Rose distillation (known as Rose Otto), a sign of purity is the crystalization, which is solid-phase at lower room temperatures. Our Iranian distiller, working with the highest quality organic petals, has been able to purify out some of the denser constituents found in Rose Otto which crystalize at lower temperatures using a toolkit of natural alchemical processes.  The result is a potent and 100% pure organic Rose oil, which is aromatically more fragrant compared to traditional Rose distillation, and is naturally found liquid at room temperature. 

Included in:

Our Royal Hawaiian Sandalwood comes from a regenerative organization protecting the native sandalwood tree on Big Island, Hawaii.  Started by the Lee brothers almost a decade ago, this organization has stewarded extensive private land in Hawaii as a sanctuary for thriving Hawaiian sandalwood trees - growing, distilling and continuously replanting native Hawaiian sandalwood.

Royal Sandalwood is a species unique to the Hawaiian islands called Santalum paniculatum. It is sweeter and softer than most traditional sandalwood species and confers a beautiful, sensual aromatic base in natural perfumery.  Looking at the chemistry of Hawaiian Sandalwood, the oil is rich in therapeutic santalols, typically found at around 90% and above.  When we purchase this precious extract, we support regrowth of the Santalum paniculatum tree in the wild regions of these protected lands.

Included in:

Our White Sage essential oil is produced in small batches every 1-3 years by a local who wild harvests the plant from the mountains in Central Coast, California, and distills the white sage in small quantities. The last white sage harvest and distillation was undertaken in 2020, as the white sage plants are still optimizing their growth for another foraging.

Our wildcrafter, distiller, and friend tends to the wild plants in the environment, supporting the earth with his harvesting by collecting when the plants are abundant (and can benefit from thinning) to help clear space for new vegetation and allow for a continued thriving ecosystem.

Included in:

Our organic Ylang Ylang extract comes from flowers handpicked from a small regenerative oasis tended to by a local Kaua'i family who one of our co-founders has been lucky enough to know and love personally. With reverence and gratitude imbued in every step of the planting and harvesting process, it brings us so much joy to have watched this partnership unfold.

Our Ylang Ylang essential oil is also processed a bit differently than most distillations on the market. Ylang Ylang Extra is the finest grade of the ylang ylang flowers, yielded in the first hour of a 24 hour distillation process.  Ylang Ylang Extra is the most fruity, creamy, floral and aromatically rich of the Ylang Ylang distillates - and it is naturally our chosen grade to provide you with the finest possible formulation.

Included in:

Our Helichrysum comes from the heart of Bulgaria, where we’ve found the kindest family committed to quality essential oils and botanical extraction. You can feel the love and heart that goes into the cultivation of the unsprayed and organic plants distilled by our Bulgarian suppliers in our pristine Helichrysum oil.

Helichrysum is one of Mother Nature’s most anti-inflammatory plant allies on the essential oil market. We source premium grade Helichrysum italicum, which is well-documented as conferring powerful anti-inflammatory qualities.  The aroma, vitality and therapeutic application of this Helichrysum extract speaks to the integrity of the family enterprise tending to the land where this precious botanical has been grown.

Included in:

Katrafay is a beautiful indigenous plant from the Madagascar region, known for its strength and toughness and traditionally used to make the royal Sakalava tombs.  Our supplier for Katrafay is a small local producer of regeneratively harvested indigenous plants; the potent pure Katrafay oil used in our blends is made from this wild Katrafay plant material that has been lovingly steam distilled.

Included in:

Sometimes we discover an ingredient so fine that it deserves some extra time...

Certain essential oils tend to become more fine as they age, due to oxidation and a slow alchemical process of the large aromatic molecules from the essential oil, and our Dark Patchouli was distilled from organic plant material and lovingly alchemized for 11 years before becoming available to us.

Patchouli can have a wide array of aromatic traits: sensual, earthy, light, bright, deeply green, and grassy are all various Patchouli expressions.  Between the quality of the oil and the art of blending, this particular variety and extraction of Patchouli yields a depth of experience that reflects its maturation for over a decade.

Included in:

From the 10th century on, Angelica was cultivated as a medicinal plant in Nordic folk medicine, achieving popularity as "The Root of the Holy Ghost" in Scandinavia in the 12th century, especially in Sámi culture. Our organic Angelica Root is grown and distilled in Germany. We work with an extractor that uses the most premium methods of CO2 distillation; yielding a thicker and much more potent Angelica Root extract compared to traditionally steam-distilled Angelica Root essential oil.  This extract was recently approved for organic certification and is the most superior quality, highly aromatic Angelica extract on the planet.

Included in:

Bitter Orange is a less commonly available cold-pressed oil on the essential oil market, coming from the spiny evergreen tree gratefully responsible for producing Neroli essential oil (the flowers of the tree), Petitgrain essential oil (the leaves and twigs), and Bergamot essential oil (the unripe peel). Distilled in Egypt, our organic Bitter Orange nectar confers a unique aromatic quality - astringent, bitter and refreshing.

Included in:

Finding an organic Blood Orange oil that has delectable aromatic qualities can be more challenging to source - sometimes the aroma is exquisite but the product is not organic, and other times the aroma lacks luster and vitality, though the product is organic certified. We finally found the mecca in this delightful citrus nectar, sourced from USDA certified organic Blood Oranges and steam-distilled into a delightful scent reminiscent of pure sunshine.

Included in:

Used in Mediterranean cultures as a natural remedy and potent perfume, our Blue Tansy essential oil is produced using organic plant material cultivated in Morocco.  Blue Tansy essential oil presents an eye-catching dark blue hue when fresh, as a result from the blue pigmented chamazulene.

Interestingly, chamazulene is not naturally found in the plant material.  During the distillation process, cooperative components come together to alchemize the blue-hued molecule into existence.

Included in:

The Cacao tree was cultivated more than 3,000 years ago by the Mayans, Toltecs, and Aztecs, who used Cacao as a ceremonial drink and also used the beans as currency. The Mayans considered chocolate to be the food of the gods and held the Cacao tree to be sacred. Our Cacao beans are distilled in France, alchemizing wildcrafted plant material into an ultra-rich Cacao extract with a deep and delectable roasted chocolate aroma.

Included in:

Our organic Calamus Root, sometimes known as "sweet flag", is extracted using CO2 extraction on the root of the Calamus plant.  The CO2 extraction method of the Calamus Root yields a sweeter, more aromatic and less pungent extract, compared to the standard steam-distilled Calamus Root found more commonly.

Included in:

Our organic whole Cardamom seeds are extracted using CO2 extraction methods to produce a very concentrated organic Cardamom extract.  Our supplier of Cardamom sources organically grown plant material from a fair-wage farm in Tanzania and specializes in CO2 extraction methods to yield one of the most highly fragrant Cardamom extracts on the market.

Included in:

Cinnamon has been highly prized since the dawn of time; known to ward off both microorganisms and to purify the energy of a space, and often offered as a gift to deities and monarchs. Authentic and organically grown Ceylon Cinnamon is rarely used in the spice and fragrance market; our organic Ceylon Cinnamon leaves come from a beautiful family-owned botanical distiller. Cinnamomum zeylanicum is the species we use for our essential oil blends, never to be substituted for other varieties of lesser quality cinnamon.

Known to be deeply connected to the root chakra, our quality organic cinnamon leaves add the perfect grounding touch to the erotic sensuality of our Eros blend.

Included in:

Our wildharvested, certified organic Cypress Leaf is grown at a family-run distillery in France and yields a potent essential oil. Cypress trees are evergreens and are commonly depicted as a variation of the tree of life motif, representing everlasting life and interconnectedness. Originally used in medicine by the Mediterranean Etruscan tribes, cypress is believed to have deep connections to death and immortality, assisting in spiritual understanding of the laws of existence and the cycles of time.

Treasured throughout history, Frankincense has long created a line of communication between East and West.

Our American distiller specializes in a high-grade selection of Frankincense resins; Boswellia Sacra from Oman is often referred to as the finest quality Frankincense on the planet.  The wildcrafted Frankincense is selected and personally imported from a sustainable collective in Oman to produce this pure and potent oil.

This Frankincense oil is produced in small batches and typically takes several months to produce enough precious Frankincense Sacra oil to craft and create with. What we've learned is that the Oman Frankincense Sacra oil typically benefits from a short maturation process of about 30-90 days for its high-note character. This Frankincense Sacra oil is uplifting, vitalizing, cleansing and mood enhancing, with several aromatic layers to inspire the senses. 

Included in:

Galbanum is a sacred tree resin, and we make sure to source ours from unsprayed and regeneratively grown family-run operation in Iran.

Myrrh has been used since ancient times in incense, perfumes, and holy ointments.
