Question 1

What is the difference between Ravensara aromatica and ravintsara?

Accepted Answer

This oil is Ravensara aromatica, a species endemic to Madagascar. Ravintsara, by contrast, is Cinnamomum camphora ct. cineole — a different species, high in 1,8-cineole with a sharp, fresh aroma. Ravensara aromatica gives a softer, more balsamic oil with a broader terpene spectrum. The botanical name is worth checking when purchasing.

Question 2

How should the 10 ml Ravensara essential oil be stored and how long does it keep?

Accepted Answer

Store in a cool, dark place below 25 °C, in a tightly closed bottle. Unopened, Ravensara aromatica oil typically keeps for 2-3 years. Once opened, it is advisable to use the content within 12 months, as oxygen gradually alters the aromatic profile.

Question 3

Can Ravensara essential oil be applied directly to the skin, or does it need to be diluted?

Accepted Answer

Ravensara essential oil should be diluted in a carrier oil (e.g. sweet almond, jojoba), typically at 1-3% concentration for skin preparations. A patch test on the inner elbow is recommended on sensitive skin. For use on children or during pregnancy, please consult a qualified professional.
