Description
Sandalwood Oil has a very deep, soft, sweet-woody aroma with a very long, full-bodied, balanced, extremely sweet and creamy-smooth aroma. Indian Sandalwood Oil has the most ‘woody’ notes, along with the heavenly sweet tone expected out of high-quality Sandalwood Oil.
Sandalwood oil is frequently used as a base for products such as incense, perfumes, cosmetics, and aftershave. It is easily blended with other oils, making it desirable as a mix into other fragrances.
Traditionally, sandalwood oil has been a part of religious traditions in India and other eastern countries. The sandalwood tree itself is considered holy and used for various religious ceremonies, including decorating for weddings or for the birth of a baby.
The highest quality sandalwood is the Indian variety, known as Santalum album. Hawaii and Australia also produce sandalwood, but it is not considered to be of the same quality and purity as the Indian variety.
Along with helping reduce the presence of unwanted bacterial, fungal, and viral activity, Sandalwood Oil is deeply skin nourishing and healing. It can help reduce the appearance of skin imperfections and promote a healthy, smooth complexion making it a wonderful choice for use in creams, lotions, toners and other fine skin care formulations. Adding sandalwood oil to an unscented liquid soap, massage cream or bubble bath is a great way to liven up your space while also inspiring a soothing, strengthening and grounding effect on the body. Sandalwood Oil is often used to ease unwanted muscle spasms and help with minor pain and inflammation management.
Sandalwood Oil blends beautifully with many other essential oils and natural aromatics including precious florals such as neroli and jasmine, other wood essential oils and oils in the earth, herbaceous and spice families.
Emotionally and energetically, the warm, woodsy, earthy aroma of Sandalwood Oil is widely used to enhance mood and is frequently used in meditation for its grounding effects. When diffused, Sandalwood Oilhelps in creating a peaceful atmosphere, quieting the mind, and helping reduce nervous tension. It also enhances romantic moods with its soft, sensual, opening and centering spicy-warm fragrance.
