Raw Material Introduction｜Ravintsara

▎Essential Oil Introduction

Preferred from the eastern rainforest of Madagascar, it is a "bright pearl" in the earth's ecosystem. It has a unique geographical location. The climate varies greatly across the island. The tropical rainforest climate in the eastern part of the island is low latitude, hot and rainy all year round. Provides a high-quality growing environment for Ravintsara.

Due to the abundant sunlight, Ravensara leaves also contain a wealth of valuable essences. Because of its remarkable performance in promoting human health, it is hailed as the national tree of Madagascar, and there are many Ravensara trees over 200 years old planted both inside and outside the presidential palace.

Ravintsara essential oil can improve concentration, open up good communication skills, help adapt to the environment, and relieve fatigue caused by work.
