Ingredient Highlight
Palo Santo
Palo Santo is one of the most important trees used in traditional ethno-botanical medicine of South America. Widely used as an incense for repelling mosquitoes, the wood is also cooked into decoction and taken for fevers, infections, and skin diseases. It’s still widely used by shamans of the Andes in curing ceremonies. Although the oil is present in young trees and saplings, the highest quality is distilled from the aged heartwood. Palo Santo oil is golden yellow, with a fresh and intense citrus aroma. Under the lemon top notes are subtle resinous wood notes and a slight medicinal pungency, which give the oil an intriguing complexity.
Sourcing
Eco-Project in Ecuador
The largest remaining population of Palo Santo trees in South America grows in the Parque Nacional Machalilla in Ecuador. Our distiller has been involved in the careful ecological harvesting of deadwood in this park for many years. Only the branches and trunks that have fallen naturally are gathered — there’s no cutting of any live trees. The harvesters are careful to not damage the areas surrounding the trees, and do not create any new footpaths or roads. There is no waste of the harvested wood, with every piece being either distilled or used as medicine or incense. Over the past several years, our distiller has done extensive research into the propagation and cultivation of Palo Santo trees and is now able to propagate saplings and save young trees from areas that are being deforested for development.
