SANDALWOOD ESSENTIAL OIL

You’ll most certainly recognise the distinctive, exotic aroma of Australian Sandalwood Essential Oil, with its deeply earthy, woody yet sweet tone laced with subtle balsamic notes. In addition to its well-liked aroma, AWO’s 100% pure Sandalwood Essential Oil contains alpha santalol, a naturally occurring compound that is known to be beneficial for physical and mental wellbeing, and is what makes Sandalwood Oil so unique and popular.

  • Sandalwood Oil is widely used in the perfumery industry, particularly in men's fragrances as it is generally considered to be a masculine aroma.
  • In aromatherapy, Sandalwood Essential Oil boasts natural sedative and relaxant properties seen to provide an overall calming effect on the mind and body, as well as helping to ease insomnia and balance emotions.
  • These same properties are responsible for Sandalwood's ability to help relieve stress, anxiety, and nervous tension, and makes it perfect for use in meditation to promote mental clarity.
  • Medicinally, Sandalwood Oil is well known for its antiseptic, antiviral and anti-inflammatory properties. These benefits have been seen to assist with sore throats, chest infections and coughs, as well as boosting the immune system.
  • When diluted and applied topically this oil is known to help relieve inflammation and itching, and promote skin cell regeneration. For this reason it has proven helpful for easing acne, psoriasis & dermatitis, as well as aiding the healing of minor wounds, insect bites and boils.
  • In skincare, the antioxidant and astringent benefits of Sandalwood Oil are seen to promote smoother, tighter, and healthier looking skin. Perhaps this is why it is so commonly used in aftershaves and toners!
  • Studies on Alpha Santalol have also shown that it can help promote cell death of cancerous skin cells, meaning it may help to fight or slow the production of some skin cancers.
