SAMPLE Sandalwood Essential Oil, Aromatika

Sandalwood Essential Oil

Aromatika Sandalwood Essential Oil is a luxurious, 100% natural essential oil derived from the heartwood of the Santalum album tree, long revered across Eastern cultures for its aroma and healing properties. With a history of over 4,000 years, sandalwood remains one of the most cherished aromatic substances, known both for its therapeutic and cosmetic benefits.

Key Benefits

• Deeply moisturises and softens dry, sensitive, and mature skin

• Smooths fine lines and wrinkles, restores firmness

• Calms irritation and helps regenerate damaged skin

• Balances sebaceous gland activity, tightens pores

• Strengthens hair and nails

• Enhances mood, inner peace, and emotional balance

• Effective against stress, insomnia, and anxiety

• Known for its aphrodisiac and relaxing properties

Production Method

Sandalwood essential oil (Oleum Santali) is obtained via steam distillation of the pre-soaked, finely ground wood of the Santalum album L. tree. This long and delicate process (48–72 hours) yields a high-quality, balsamic-sweet essential oil. The raw material for Aromatika’s oil is sourced from India.
