Aniba Rosaeodora (Rosewood) Wood Extract description

_Aniba rosaeodora_ (rosewood) wood extract comes from a plant also known as Aniba rosodora and known commonly as pau-rosa. It is native to South American and is considered a threatened species. While research shows that _Aniba roseaodora_ wood extract has some antimicrobial properties, its primary use in cosmetics is as a fragrance and masking agent. This is because all aspects of this plant – but particularly its wood – contains linalool, a natural fragrance ingredient that is unfortunately a potent skin sensitizer when it contacts oxygen (which is impossible to avoid when you put it on your skin). While the wood extract of rosewood isn’t as potentially sensitizing as the wood oil, it’s still enough of an issue to make it an ingredient to avoid in skin care products, even when present at the end of the ingredient list.
