Sandalwood (Santalum album) is a highly regarded essential oil, sought after for its rich aroma and balancing properties in aromatherapy and skincare. Aura Cacia Indian Sandalwood w/ Jojoba is a blend of Aura Cacia Indian Sandalwood and Aura Cacia Jojoba oil - an affordable way to enjoy the essential qualities of this exotic, precious botanical right out of the bottle. Aura Cacia Indian Sandalwood is ethically produced on sustainable plantations in Australia. We are proud to play a role in the mindful production and ongoing preservation of this precious botanical that is unfortunately problematic due to overharvesting, poaching and adulteration. Sandalwood has been overharvested in every country in which it grows. Today, Australia produces close to 70 Percent of the world's supply of sandalwood oil. At the International Sandalwood Symposium, of which Aura Cacia was a sponsor and presenter, scientists from sandalwood-producing countries agreed that Australia would produce nearly 100 Percent of all sandalwood oil within ten years due to the regions capabilities in conservation, management, and planting. Indian sandalwood has a warm, balsamic-like aroma that is centering and grounding. Sandalwoods long-lasting woody aroma is prized for its own scent but is also valued for its role as a fixative - it enhances the vibrancy and longevity of other aromas like floral and citrus oils. Sandalwood blends especially well with florals and citrus oils like lavender, rose, geranium, jasmine, ylang ylang, sweet orange, bergamot, lemon and grapefruit. Sandalwood essential oil is primarily regarded as a base note.
