Product Overview
Use our Sandalwood powder in multiple skincare applications as well as part of a natural incense base. This ultra-fine powder comes from the ground heartwood ethically harvested trees in Australia and is often used in skin and body care preparations as an exfoliant or added to a clay mask. The warm, light woody and sweet aroma inspires an ambiance of peaceful contemplation and lends elevating and centering properties to skincare and incense blends.
Incorporated into personal care products such as scrubs or masks, Sandalwood powder can be used to help to cleanse and tonify the complexion as it softens and improves the appearance of skin texture or congested skin. Additionally, it makes a wonderful base for incense. It imparts a light, pleasant aroma and allows a slow and even burn – a wonderful component to any ritual incense blend! In soapmaking, it can be used to add texture to bars.
In Australia, Sandalwood (including its lumber, seed oil, nuts and powder) has been used for fodder, fuel and fragrance, in aboriginal art, and in religious and spiritual practices for thousands of years. Santalum spicatum is native to Western Australia, where the Forests Products Commission (FPC) manages the sustainable harvesting of Sandalwood forests.
