Sandalwood Botanical Extract


Average Product Rating: 5 / 5 (Based on 6 Customer Reviews)


Botanical Name: Pterrocarpus santalinum

This exotic powder comes from the Sandal Tree which is an evergreen tree that grows only in the southern areas of India. When the heartwood or the center of the trunk is harvested it is grounded into powder which can then be steam-distilled into an essential oil.

Common Uses: Our Sandalwood Powder exudes a very subtle, exotic sandalwood scent that makes it the perfect addition to lotion, balms, shaving cream or soap for cleansing, calming and hydrating sensitive or aging skin.
When used externally, Sandalwood paste (made from mixing water with Sandalwood powder) has a calming, cooling effect on body and mind. It helps relieve fever and burns, insect bites, and can be used to heal skin diseases such as infectious sores, ulcers, acne and rashes. In general it relieves Pitta dosha and helps balance the body after overexposure to the sun. The scent of Sandalwood Powder is said to clarify the mind and helps to awaken intelligence, and is often used as an aid for meditation. It calms the mind, soothes stress and nervous tension, and uplifts the mood.

Recommended Usage:
• Lotions: 1 – 3 %
• Soap: 2 – 5 %

Sandalwood Acne Treatment:
Combine 2 teaspoons of Sandalwood Powder and 1 teaspoon of Turmeric Powder with enough Aloe Vera Gel Juice or rose water to make a spreadable mixture. Apply evenly on your face and leave it on for 20 to 30 minutes. Rinse with warm water. This treatment is also good for acne on the chest and back.

The smell of this is insanely amazing. Extremely pricey, but I don't regret purchasing it. I use it as a substitute for the more expensive E/O. For a cheaper alternative try the one from Australia (which is categorized on the site as an exfoliant).

Oh my goodness, this stuff smells good! And its way more economical to purchase this than the sandalwood EO. I love to mix this scent with balsam fir, cedarwood and a tiny touch of cloves. I will be buying this again for sure!...and probably soon: I've been adding this to everything under the sun!

I am so pleased with this new product. The scent is divine. I did not expect it to have such a pronounced scent and expected to have to augment it with my essential oil of Sandalwood, in the product I was making. Not necessary at all. Well worth the cost given the popularity of Sandalwood products. Amazing.
