A LITTLE CARE GOES A LONG WAY
Using it thoughtfully
Read the full safety context before bringing this oil into your routine.
- Cited dermal maximum · leave-on
- 15%
- Phototoxicity
- Not flagged in this profile
- Oxidation risk
- low
A cited maximum is a limit, not a suggested dilution. Missing restrictions do not establish safety.
No furocoumarin-driven phototoxic restriction was identified in the reviewed public sources for vetiver essential oil.
Contraindications & cautions
- moderateDo not use undiluted on the skin; vetiver can cause skin irritation and is not recommended for those with sensitive, damaged, or allergy-prone skin.
- minorNot recommended for children under 3 years old; consult a healthcare professional before use during pregnancy and nursing.

THE SCIENCE BEHIND THE SCENT
Inside the oil
An oil's character comes from its natural chemical composition. Explore each constituent to understand the connections.
About this composition
This profile is anchored to a directly readable 2025 GC/MS report for an Indian steam-distilled vetiver lot and cross-checked against ISO 4716:2002 for the assigned generic oil identity. The public batch is sesquiterpene-rich and khusimol-forward, with beta-vetivenene, khusimone, alpha-cadinol, cyclocopacamphan-12-ol epimers, vetiselinenol, trans-isovalencenol, beta-vetivone, and alpha-vetivone all quantified as discrete peaks.

A TRADITION OF BOTANICAL CURIOSITY
Traditional & reported uses
These uses reflect the profile's reported traditions and literature. They are not established treatment recommendations.
- traditionally used in aromatherapy for deeply grounding, calming effect
- reported to support restful sleep and easing of racing thoughts
- used in perfumery as a rich, earthy-woody base note and fixative
- traditionally associated with easing occasional stress and nervous tension
- reported to support focus and a sense of stability in blends
For aromatherapy and wellness use only — not medical advice. Effect statements are traditional/reported associations, not treatment claims. The Synergy Rating scores blend craft, harmony and safety, not medical efficacy. Read the safety framework.
What we're still learning · 3 data gaps
Good decisions start with knowing what is — and isn't — in the evidence.
- Odor intensity 90 is an archive normalization of AromaWeb's qualitative `Strength of Initial Aroma: Bold` field rather than a source-native 0-100 measurement.
- Missing source type: directly readable public CAS registry, supplier COA identity table, or other primary identifier source for several vetiver sesquiterpenes, so those CAS fields remain null rather than guessed.
- The public GC/MS report is a batch-specific marker profile rather than a fully identified 100% composition table, so this file captures the directly readable dominant peaks only.
