RAVINTSARA

Ravintsara essential oil is steam distilled from the leaves of the Cinnamomum camphora plant.

Aromatically, Ravintsara has a fresh, earthy, woody, pepper scent.

Ravintsara, not to be confused with Ravensara, is derived from the leaves of Cinnamomum camphora and the uses and benefits of this oil are many. Although Ravintsara and Ravensara are in the Lauraceae family, Ravintsara is milder and more similar to Eucalyptus and Camphor. Ravintsara is an effective air freshener. Combine with essential oils like Roman Chamomile, Copaiba, Eucalyptus, or Rosemary to encourage a refreshed atmosphere. Incorporate into your favorite dōTERRA skin cleanser for added cleansing benefits.

Sourcing Information​

One of the main reasons I chose dōTERRA is because of where and how they source their essential oils. dōTERRA believes that plants produce the best chemical properties when they are grown and harvested in their native habitat. ​
dōTERRA sources Ravintsara from Madagascar. Each batch of essential oils goes through over 60 tests to ensure that they are pure, potent, effective oils worthy of the dōTERRA name. Some of those tests are:
  • Organoleptic testing
  • Microbial testing
  • Gas chromatography
  • Mass spectrometry
  • Fourier Transform Infrared spectroscopy (FTIR)
  • Chirality testing
  • Isotopic analysis
  • Heavy metal testing
You can access the GC/MS reports of each batch of dōTERRA essential oils. These tests are done by an independent third party lab. Your unique Quality ID is located on the bottom of your bottle. Enter that ID at sourcetoyou.com to access the reports
