Sandalwood, Australian Essential Oil

Australian Sandalwood (Santalum spicatum, Family: Santalaceae) is a steam-distilled essential oil from sustainably harvested trees. Similar in profile to Indian sandalwood but drier and woodier, it is food safe and non-irritant when used properly.

Aroma
Soft, woody, and slightly balsamic with a dry, grounding character.

Traditional Use
Used in perfumery, skincare, and aromatherapy, Australian sandalwood provides a sustainable alternative to Indian varieties.

Benefits
It soothes the mind, supports calm meditation, and enriches body care products with its warm, woody depth.

How to Prepare & Use

• Diffuse: Add 3–5 drops for a grounding, earthy aroma.

• Topical: Dilute to 1–2% in a carrier oil for massage or skincare blends.

• Culinary: Sometimes used in tiny amounts for specialty flavorings.

Storage Tip
