Sandalwood Australian

Essential Oils are the fragrant essences of plants in their purest, most concentrated state. Steam distilled, cold pressed or CO2 extracted, these Essential Oils are the plant’s soul, extracted to bring The Essence of “Well-being” into your life. They are highly potent extracts that have been referred to by Ayurvedic medicine as “liquid sun energy”.

Aromaland has been supplying the world with Essential Oils since 1986 and is known for their huge selection and dedication to quality. The characteristics of Essential Oils can vary like wine. Depending on the species, the location, the ground and weather conditions, the environmental circumstances and the expertise and care given by the farmer and distiller, the oil of the same plant can vary strongly from supplier to supplier. When you order from Aromaland you know you are getting the best quality in the world and not a commercial grade essential oil.

Aroma:Dry-woody and warm. Oriental, luxurious and balsamic, deep and soft aroma. The Indian Sandalwood population has been nearly exhausted due to over-harvesting, and prices have been continuously increasing. This Australian Sandalwood offers the noble Sandalwood aroma with a more smoky, somewhat dry-bitter topnote.

The potency and incredible fragrancing power of Sandalwood Essential Oil make it a great investment, even though it is one of the pricier oils. If you find it hard to dose the pure oil correctly (it is incredibly strong and intense!), or shy away from the cost, start with Essential Oils blended with Jojoba Oil, classified as”i/J”(“in Jojoba”).

Aromatherapy Properties:Relaxing, Great aphrodisiac. Sandalwood is valued in skincare for its moisturizing and skin properties.

Suggested Use:Add a few drops to a diffuser for a relaxing, “grounding” aroma climate. Add 5 drops to a hot bath for a blissful retreat, mixing the oils with Aromaland’s Coconut Emulsifier or some Half & Half prior to blending it with the water (in order to prevent the oils from floating on the surface).

Add up to 5 drops to 1oz. of unscented body care product. Alternatively, add up to 10 drops of Aromaland’s Tansu Wood, Meditation, Passion, Sacred, Feminine Balance, Dry Skin or Mature Skin Blends (which contain Sandalwood) to 1oz. of unscented body care product.

If you are purchasing this Essential Oil blended with Jojoba, increase the number of drops you add to your body care or bath according to your liking. You can use oils blended with Jojoba in a diffuser, but it is not recommended in diffusers that work with cotton pads – Car Diffuser, Scent Ball, Spa Scenter – or nebulizers. If using an aromalamp or Aromaland’s Aromashell it will leave an oily residue that can be washed away; but do not overheat the lamp dish!

History:Sandalwood is one of the oldest known perfume materials. In the East it’s used as incense, for erecting temples and as part of the cremation ceremony. It is also forming the famous Atar perfume in combination with Rose.

Specific Safety Information:No known toxicity. GRAS (Generally Regarded As Safe) approved by the FDA as food flavor.
