The Santal genus consists of about 25 species. Traditionally, white sandalwood was used in religious events and for the production of incense in India. Therefore, when talking about aromatherapy properties, it is this plant that is meant. We suggest you enjoy the rather rare essential oil from white sandalwood. Since the 1960s, white sandalwood trees have been listed as a vulnerable species in the Red Book and for a long time in India they were classified as state property and logging was prohibited. But since 2001 (and from 2022 in most regions of India), strict conservation has allowed the population to recover and private farms have been allowed to grow the trees for their own use. Since then, farmers began to grow white sandalwood more intensively, and it became possible to extract sandalwood oil, which is so highly valued in perfumery and cosmetics. Our sandalwood oil is sourced from a sustainable farm.

Sandalwood oil is highly valued in cosmetics for its properties. It is rich in santalol, which suppresses inflammatory processes in the skin and reduces the rate of epidermal cell division, and the effect is similar to corticosteroids. Therefore, white sandalwood oil is successfully used for inflammation.

Sandalwood oil reduces the risk of clogged pores and the formation of closed comedones. In other studies, sandalwood oil has been successfully used in patients with psoriasis (10% oil solution). This oil reduces itching and redness, restores the normal structure of the skin.
