Sandalwood Essential Oil (Australian)


Average Product Rating: 4.7 / 5 (Based on 9 Customer Reviews)


Main Constituents:
cis-α-Santalol: 29.06%
cis-β-Santalol: 8.71%

Botanical Name: Santalum Spicatum

Plant Part: Wood

Extraction Method: Steam Distilled

Origin: Australia

Description: Extracted from plantation trees, Western Australian Sandalwood is a viable, environmentally friendly tree considered to have higher anti-microbial and anti-inflammatory properties This tree is parasitic, burrowing its roots into nearby trees to gain sustenance for the first seven years, leaving the other to die. To produce oil this tree must be over 30 years old, preferably around 40-50 years when it has reached its oil production peak.

Color: Pale yellow to golden yellow clear liquid.

Common Uses: Sandalwood Essential Oil is mainly used in perfumery, cosmetics, and aromatherapy. Australian Sandalwood Essential Oil is considered to have strong anti-microbial and anti-inflammatory properties.

Consistency: Medium

Note: Base

Strength of Aroma: Medium

Blends well with: Jasmine, Ylang-ylang, Rosewood, Patchouli, Vetiver and Rose.

Aromatic Scent: Sandalwood Australian Essential Oil has a sweet, rich, woody, exotic and lingering. It is oriental, luxurious, and balsamic with deep & soft aroma.

History: Sandalwood Australian - like all of the sandalwood family - is considered to be an exquisite oil, particularly as ethical harvesting has reduced available quantities. Some thirty species of sandalwood occur throughout Asia, Australia and the Pacific region. Six of the species are native to Australia. One species, Santalum spicatum, is presently being harvested in the Goldfields region of Western Australia. The high value of the wood and the oil has led to a steady decline of native sandalwood trees and increasing efforts to establish plantations. New Directions Aromatics continues to source their oil by ethical means including State sponsored auctions.

Cautions: Sandalwood Australian Essential Oil is considered non-toxic, non-irritant and non-sensitizing oil.

This is the only sandalwood I will ever buy. The ecological and social impacts of Indian Sandalwood are just not worth it to me. This is a nice fragrant oil, and while it is not as strong as the Indian stuff, it is still quite lovely, and comes with a much cleaner conscience.

I love your Sandalwood Australian EO! It's a Biblical Oil and worth it's weight in gold. A diffenet "must have on hand" EO. It's been used for thousands of years in Ayurvedic medicine. I love it's antitumoral, antiviral properties and it's immune boosting properties as well. I blend it in my shea butter salves. It's so healing for the skin and men along with women love it's smell. Thank you for making it available and so affordable.

I've purchased this oil on several occassions from NDA as a substitute for Mysore in my blends and have been very pleased with the results. Mysore Sandalwood has a creaminess to it where as the Australian species has a slight sharpness but please do not let this deter you from trying this wonderful oil. I am very happy that NDA has provided options that are more environmentally friendly and a little easier on the wallet.

I really love this oil. I actually prefer it to the Mysore sandalwood. Wonderful soft scent, I use this for anything: skincare, massage, diffuser blends, etc. Makes a wonderful base note for blending. And considering it is much less expensive than the Mysore, I rarely use the Mysore oil anymore.

This essential oil is not only top quality, but has an exotic fragrance that almost demands relaxation and calm. I use it as a blend on my face when I give myself a facial massage. and the aroma and massage puts me in a very tranquil mood. I recommend it highly!

For the aromatherapist who can not afford the Mysore variety from India, this is almost as nice, but not all the same qualities that the Mysore carries. I still LOVE the scent and it's 'almost' as good. But nothing can compare to the only Mysore. That said, can still be used for an aphrodisiac, barber's rash, bronchitis, calluses, chapped & cracked skin, depression, headache, incense, insomnia, meditation, moisturiser, nausea, spiritual growth, stress related complaints, ulcers. This one is top notch quality and good price.
