Costus Root Oil is a rare and precious essential oil extracted from the dried roots of the Saussurea costus plant, a high-altitude herb traditionally grown in the Himalayas. Deeply earthy, leathery, and musky in aroma, this oil is an ancient treasure in Ayurvedic, Unani, and Tibetan medicine, as well as in high-end niche perfumery.
