Amber oil is a fragrant oil that is used in various applications such as aromatherapy, processing of perfumes, and health-care products. It is extracted by melting amber resins over high heat without oxygen to yield a dark, viscous oil with an extremely tenacious smoky, resinous, woody aroma. The oil is known to have anti-inflammatory and antiseptic properties, which help to heal minor skin damage, such as cuts, scrapes, burns, and acne scars, as well as getting rid of harmful microbes. It is also known to prevent moisture loss and thus keep the skin hydrated.
Amber oil is a complex mixture of dozens of different terpenes and other hydrocarbon compounds, including caparratriene, derivatives of azulene, aromadendrene, longipinene, borneol, camphor, isolongifolol, thunbergol, fenchol, and other terpenes and terpene derivatives. Some of these compounds are responsible for the anti-inflammatory and antibacterial effects of amber oil.
