Frequently Asked Questions
Is your amyris essential oil pure? ▾
Yes. Our amyris essential oil is bottled 100% pure and undiluted, with nothing added. Every batch is backed by a published Certificate of Analysis so you can see exactly what you are buying before you blend, diffuse, or gift it.
Is amyris the same as sandalwood? ▾
No, though it is sometimes nicknamed West Indian sandalwood for its soft, creamy woodiness. Amyris comes from Amyris balsamifera, a Caribbean tree unrelated botanically to true sandalwood species. It offers a similar smooth base note at a friendlier price, making it a popular substitute in blending.
What does amyris smell like and what does it blend with? ▾
Amyris carries a creamy, woody, and balsamic scent with a faint vanilla warmth. As a base note, it pairs beautifully with lavender, bergamot, and geranium, helping lighter florals and citrus oils hold their scent longer in diffuser blends and homemade perfumes.
How do I dilute amyris for skin use? ▾
Amyris is concentrated, so mix it into a carrier oil before applying to skin. A typical dilution is 0.5% to 2%, roughly 3 to 12 drops per ounce of carrier oil. Always patch test a small area first and discontinue use if irritation occurs.
What sizes does amyris essential oil come in? ▾
We offer nine sizes of amyris essential oil, starting at 0.5 oz for sampling and scaling all the way up to 400 lbs for wholesale and manufacturing needs. Every size is bottled to the same pure, undiluted standard, whether you need a single ounce or a full drum.
Does the price per ounce drop at larger sizes? ▾
Pricing varies by size and does not always fall in a straight line per ounce. What we can say is that amyris is available in true bulk sizes, up to 400 lbs, so formulators and resellers can order the quantity that fits their production without guessing at availability.
Which size of amyris should I choose? ▾
The 0.5 oz or 1 oz bottles are ideal for testing the scent in a diffuser or a first perfume experiment. The 2 oz to 8 oz range suits regular home use, while 16 oz and up fits soap makers, candle makers, and formulators working in larger batches.
How fast does amyris essential oil ship? ▾
Orders typically ship within 1 to 2 business days. Bulk sizes of 5 lbs and up may need a little extra handling time before they leave our facility. Checkout for every size runs through our Shopify store, so you will receive standard order and tracking confirmations by email.
Does amyris essential oil change color or thickness over time? ▾
Amyris essential oil is naturally a pale yellow to amber liquid with a light to medium viscosity, and slight darkening is normal as it ages. Stored in a cool, dark place away from sunlight, it keeps its creamy woody character well for several years.
