Organic Saro Essential Oil

Looking for a gentle and well-tolerated alternative to ravintsara and tea tree, with a balanced 1,8-cineole and linalool profile, sourced from an endemic Madagascar shrub for family winter diffusions and gentle topical cosmetic care? Herbes et Traditions Organic Saro EO (Cinnamosma fragrans) is distilled from the leaves of this shrub endemic to the forests of western Madagascar. With 50-65% 1,8-cineole and 8-15% linalool, its cineole-linalool profile makes it a gentler EO than ravintsara and very accessible for family use. 10ml. Ecocert organic certified.

Aromatic and cosmetic profile

• Balanced cineole-linalool profile (50-65% cineole + 8-15% linalool): a combination that softens the pure oxide profile of cineole. Gentler than ravintsara, with a slightly floral note thanks to the linalool.
• Fresh-cineole scent with a floral touch: similar to ravintsara but softer and slightly floral. Very pleasant in diffusion, especially appreciated for its distinctive Madagascar note.
• Still-exclusive Madagascar EO: less well-known than ravintsara but highly valued by aromatherapists for its gentleness and versatility.
• 10ml: Ecocert Organic. Herbes et Traditions.

FAQ

What is the difference between saro and ravintsara?
Both are Madagascar EOs rich in cineole. Ravintsara (Cinnamomum camphora) is the best known and most widely used. Saro (Cinnamosma fragrans) is a different species, gentler thanks to its linalool content, and with a slightly different fragrance. For delicate cineole profiles, saro is sometimes preferred.

Is saro endemic to Madagascar?
Yes, Cinnamosma fragrans only grows in the dry forests of western Madagascar. Its harvesting is regulated to preserve wild species. The certified organic version guarantees responsible production.

Can saro and tea tree be substituted?
Partially. Saro is rich in cineole; tea tree in terpinen-4-ol. Profiles are different but both are used in family winter aromatherapy. For very general use, they can complement each other in a synergy, but they are not strictly interchangeable.
