SHORT DESCRIPTION & INTERESTING FACTS

  • The Sacred Tree Preserved: Sandalwood is historically famous for its aromatic wood and essential oil, which requires harvesting the entire tree. Sandalwood Nut Oil, however, is obtained exclusively from the kernels or drupes that the tree drops. This means we obtain a precious Ayurvedic skincare oil without harming or cutting down a single West Australian Sandalwood tree.
  • Supercritical CO2 Purity: Our Sandalwood Nut oil is extracted using state-of-the-art Supercritical CO2 technology. This gentle, low-temperature method uses clean CO2 gas instead of harsh solvents or extreme heat, guaranteeing a 100% pure, unadulterated, and nutrient-dense oil containing the full active potential of the kernel.
  • The Santalbic Acid Wonder: Nearly a third of this oil is composed of ximenynic acid (also known as santalbic acid). This exceptionally rare compound is renowned in modern clinical cosmetics for dramatically improving skin microcirculation, strengthening capillaries, and calming redness and inflammation.
  • The "Dry Oil" Feel: Despite its rich therapeutic profile, Sandalwood Nut oil is incredibly lightweight. It absorbs almost instantly into the skin, leaving a dry, silky, non-greasy finish that serves as a perfect daily facial serum or makeup primer.

KEY PROPERTIES & BENEFITS

For the Skin & Body Recovery:
  • Comedogenic Rating: 1-2 (Very low to moderately low; absorbs beautifully without clogging pores, making it suitable for all skin types, including sensitive and combination skin).
  • Powerful Anti-inflammatory & Decongestant (+++): Ximenynic acid works to actively reduce skin redness, soothe eczema, calm atopic dermatitis flare-ups, and ease localized inflammation.
  • Stimulates Microcirculation (+++): Boosts localized blood flow, making it highly effective for supporting varicose vein treatments, reducing under-eye puffiness, and fading stubborn dark circles.
  • Pro-Elasticity & Anti-Aging (+++): Restores skin structure, firms loose tissues, supports natural collagen, and helps prevent the appearance of stretch marks and cellulite.
  • Deep Hydration: Plumps and smooths rough skin texture, sealing moisture into the natural skin barrier.
For Mind & Wellbeing:
  • Comforting Massage Base: The mild, nutty, warm aroma brings a grounding, peaceful scent to aromatherapy massages.
