Extracted from Santalum spicatum, a sandalwood species native to Australia, this oil features a woody, slightly sweet aroma with balsamic, creamy undertones typical of sandalwood. Known for its grounding and calming properties, it is widely used in aromatherapy to promote relaxation and emotional balance. Rich in santalol, it also provides mild antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory benefits. Compared to endangered Santalum album (Indian sandalwood), Santalum spicatum is considered a more sustainable choice. Australian sandalwood is managed under strict environmental regulations, with ethical harvesting practices and reforestation programs that ensure long-term ecological balance.
