Uses and Insights: Sandalwood is a highly treasured oil, and we source ours responsibly from an Australian source that sustainably cultivates these trees. This Sandalwood species (Santalum album) is known as Indian Sandalwood, and is the scent we classically think of when we think of Sandalwood. Compared to the other Sandalwood species that we carry (Santalum spicatum), its scent is notably smooth, buttery and lighter scent which exhibits earthy and ends with a slightly powdery note.
Sandalwood is a luxurious and exotic yet comforting base note highly regarded in the world of perfuming. Spiritually, this oil is said to inspire fortitude. It is considered a sacred oil that is often called upon in meditation and ritual.Note, this Sandalwood is grown ethically and organically, and is sustainably harvested. There are no non-organic chemicals involved at any stage in this plantation, and the oil has been tested for heavy metals, pesticides and herbicides and no traces were found.

Dispensing:
When using our 3.75ml vial, make sure to flip vial upside down and tap bottom of the glass with your index finger to dispense.
Each tap will equal approximately 1 drop of essential oil.
Shaking the vial alone does not work to dispense, be sure to tap.
When using our 10ml or 30ml bottles, please turn over the bottle and allow drops to drip out.
Please note that thinner oils dispense more quickly, while more viscous oils dispense more slowly.
Test how quickly an oil dispenses before using to make a blend to avoid too many drops dispensing at once.
