Ravintsara is harvested from an evergreen tree in Madagascar. The broad leaves are distilled quickly. Even though the botanical name leads you to believe this oil contains camphor, it contains very little.
We love it for use in products for oily, congested and acne-prone skin. It is also known for its respiratory benefits, aiding sleep, and calming the feel of tense nerves.
