Sandalwood Organic Essential Oil - 5ml

Our organic East Indian Sandalwood Essential Oil is sustainably produced from the exquisitely fragrant heartwood of the Santalum album tree ethically harvested in the plantations of southern India. Produced by a complete distillation, our magnificent Sandalwood Oil has a very deep, soft, sweet-woody aroma. Our Indian Sandalwood Oil has the most 'woody' notes, along with the heavenly sweet tone expected out of high-quality Sandalwood Essential Oil.

One of perfumery's most revered substances, Indian Sandalwood is beloved for its sweet, warm, woody and rich aroma and is a world-renowned and highly desired ingredient in body care, skin care, natural perfumes, and incense for its incomparable fragrance and deeply calming effects. This exquisite oil is composed for the most part of the sesquiterpene alcohol - alpha-santalol - a compound that gives viscosity and a woody aroma as well as being responsible for much of its biological effects.

Each and every batch of Amala essential oils is tested by an independent international laboratory before being sent to us. A Certificate of Analysis is issued, stating the purity of the oil.
