Why We Love
Sandalwood Essential Oil
| With a sweet, rich aroma, sandalwood essential oil has been used extensively in social and religious rituals in many cultures. Caravans carrying sandalwood were a familiar sight in Egypt, Greece and Rome, and Egyptians often used sandalwood oil for embalming. Sandalwood is native to India and sandalwood essential oil is extracted via steam distillation. Skincare Benefits: With its unparalleled moisturizing properties and rich scent, sandalwood essential oil works in harmony with the skin’s natural functions to boost luminosity and brightness. It reduces redness and counteracts hyperpigmentation, thereby promoting even toned, youthful skin. Ayurvedic Therapy Benefits: Sandalwood essential oil also regulates the body’s limbic function, to promote internal balance and mental calm. This reduces tension and anxiety, making it ideal when dealing with a hectic daily lifestyle. |

Research and Benefits of Sandalwood Oil
1. Anti-Aging Properties
Sandalwood oil possesses antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. This is significant because free radical damage and inflammation contribute to wrinkles, loss of elasticity, and other signs of aging skin. The study showed it could scavenge free radicals and inhibit the activity of an enzyme (MMP-1) that breaks down collagen, a protein essential for maintaining skin structure.
