INCI: Agathosma betulina Oil

Pure Indigenous Cape Buchu Essential Oil is a single-origin essential oil steam distilled from Agathosma betulina, an aromatic fynbos shrub native to South Africa. It is valued for its striking green-citrus, minty-herbal aroma and is often used in fresh, clean-smelling diffuser blends and home fragrance applications. Its character is bright, distinctive, and very different from sweeter or softer floral oils. This is a concentrated essential oil and must be diluted before skin use.

♡ Why we love it: Buchu has a sharp, unmistakable freshness that gives blends real lift and personality. It is especially appealing when you want something green, modern, and clean-smelling rather than sweet or heavy.
