Description: Sandalwood is an evergreen, parasitic tree that burrows its roots into other trees and it can grow up to 9 meters (30 feet) high and has a brown-gray trunk, many smooth slender branches, leathery leaves and small pink-purple flowers. It can take thirty to sixty years for a tree to reach full maturity. That is when it can be harvested and distilled.
Color: Colorless to pale yellow clear thick liquid.
Common Uses: Sandalwood Essential Oil is used by aromatherapists to combat bronchitis, chapped and dry skin,
depression, laryngitis, leucorrhea, oily skin, scars, sensitive skin, stress, and stretch marks. It also has historical applications
as an aid in meditation for religious ceremonies. Sandalwood is believed to create an exotic, sensual mood with a reputation
as an aphrodisiac. It also has extensive uses in the perfume industry as a fixative, and use in body care products for the
fragrance it provides.
