Sandalwood-Austro caledonicum
We source our sandalwood oil directly from an Aboriginal harvesting group based in Kalgoorlie in Western Australia. It's certified organic, which means it is grown without chemicals. Harvesting is heavily regulated and a quota system is in place. It's extracted from the inner heartwood via steam distillation. After harvesting, it's processed in Albany, near Perth in Western Australia.
Uses
We use sandalwood oil (Santalum austrocaledonicum) for its reassuring warm and woody aroma that also protects and clarifies the skin. This is because the oil is astringent and antiseptic and as an emollient, helps to soothe, cool and soften the skin. It's also used in aromatherapy to lift the mood, and has a fresh, woody aroma.
