Sandalwood Oil

Sandalwood oil comes from the sandalwood tree, which has be at least thirty years old before it is ready to harvest. The oil is extracted from the inner heartwood using steam distillation. We use Caledonian and Australian sandalwood oil.

What does it do?

- Sandalwood is highly valued in perfumery, having a warm, woody aroma. We used it as a base note and a fixative.

- Aromatherapists use sandalwood as an anti-depressant.

- Sandalwood is astringent, antiseptic and can reduce inflammation, making it amazing on acne prone skin.

- Sandalwood oil is an emollient. Emollients help to soothe, cool and soften the skin.

- Sandalwood works well for dehydrated, uneven and aged skin.
