Our Indian Sandalwood essential oil is distilled from the pulverised heartwood and major roots of a small evergreen tree that is native to southern Asia. The tree, which is also known as East Indian or White Sandalwood, is highly prized for its wood and Sandalwood oil.

The main production area is Mysore in south India, however over-harvesting and deforestation mean that White Sandalwood is becoming very scarce. Because of the threat of extinction, Sandalwood harvesting is now officially controlled by the Indian Government, and only mature trees (over 30 years old) are allowed to be harvested. Our Sandalwood oil is only sourced from Government licensed distilleries that conform with Agmark regulations.

Sandalwood has been used for over 2500 years in India, for spiritual and cultural ceremonies and also in Ayurvedic medicine predominantly for urinary and respiratory infections and for diarrhea. It is one of the oldest known incense materials.

Sandalwood essential oil has a warm, sweet woody aroma, with spicy, balsamic undertones. It is enjoyed by men and women alike, and widely used in the perfume industry.
