Palo Santo, the “sacred wood,” has been one of the spiritual and ceremonial plants of South America for centuries. Its essential oil has a distinctive fragrance: warm, resinous wood meets fresh citrus nuances, pine, and a soft, slightly musky finish.
Just a few drops can transform the atmosphere in a room. The fragrance feels grounding, calming, and clear at the same time, without becoming heavy—especially beautiful during meditation, yoga, creative breaks, or as a small ritual at the end of a long day.
- 100% pure Palo Santo essential oil
- warm, resinous woody fragrance with fresh citrus, pine, and soft musky facets
- for diffusers, fragrance and meditation rituals, and mindful moments of calm
- traditionally associated with energetic cleansing and inner focus
- especially beautiful when combined with frankincense, cedarwood, sandalwood, and myrrh
- wild-harvested and obtained from aged deadwood of naturally fallen trees

Palo Santo has traditionally also been used for energetic cleansing and inner focus. If you prefer to enjoy its distinctive fragrance without smoke, the essential oil offers a concentrated alternative to classic Palo Santo incense wood.
The oil blends particularly well with other warm woods and resins such as frankincense, cedarwood, sandalwood, and myrrh, and can be wonderfully customized in a diffuser.
Anima Mundi was founded by Costa Rican herbalist Adriana Ayales. In addition to herbs, tonics, and plant powders, the range includes carefully selected essential oils and traditional ritual plants. Learn more about the brand’s plant philosophy in our profile of Anima Mundi.
Origin
Anima Mundi obtains its Palo Santo oil exclusively from aged deadwood of naturally fallen trees. The trees are not felled for this purpose. The collected wood is used in its entirety and then steam-distilled in Ecuador.
The wood’s long aging process is especially important for Palo Santo’s distinctive fragrance: its particularly warm, resinous, and complex aromatic profile develops only during natural aging.
How to use
- Diffuser: Add a few drops to a diffuser, either on its own or combined with frankincense, cedarwood, sandalwood, or myrrh.
- Palms ritual: Place one drop in your palms, rub them together gently, hold your hands at a slight distance from your face, and consciously take in the fragrance.
- Body or massage oil: Use only diluted, mixing a few drops with a suitable carrier oil.
- Essential oils are highly concentrated. Do not ingest and avoid contact with the eyes and mucous membranes.
- Do not apply undiluted over large areas of skin. If you have sensitive skin, test on a small area beforehand.
- Keep out of reach of children.

FAQ
