Trees grow to around 8 meters tall and produce clusters of small white flowers. Amyris balsamifera is in a group known as ‘Torchwoods’, named for their fragrant flammable resin and used historically as torch material.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eAmyris lumber is often used for furniture making or firewood, while the twigs and bark are preserved for oil production. The harvested bark is dried and then undergoes a process of steam distillation to extract the oil. Amyris oil is used in fragrances, varnishes, cosmetics, soaps and incenses for its smoky-woody aroma. Though it is known to have a similar fragrance to sandalwood (Santalum album), the two species are unrelated and their oils have different compositions.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eBotanical name: Amyris balsamifera\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eOther names: Amyris Balsamifera Bark Oil, West Indian Sandalwood Oil, West Indian Rosewood Oil\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eMain constituents: beta-Sesquiphellandrene, Elemol, 10-Epi-gamma-Eudesmol, gamma-Eudesmol, Valerianol, alpha-Eudesmol, 7-Epi-alpha-Eudesmol, beta-Eudesmol\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Ecostore Dev","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44780179226761,"sku":"Amyris Balsamifera (Balsam Torchwood) Bark Oil","price":0.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/ecostore.com\/en-au\/products\/ingredient-amyris-balsamifera-balsam-torchwood-bark-oil","provider":"Ecostore","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
