Sandalwood essential oil dōTERRA | 5 ml

Sandalwood essential oil is the Indian sandalwood in the dōTERRA range, the one that has been burned as incense in religious ceremonies for centuries. It is distilled from the wood of Santalum album, a tree that is only harvested after at least fifteen years and whose heart concentrates the oil: the older the tree, the richer the oil, and its wood keeps its scent for decades.

Its woody, sweet aroma is grounding and balancing: inhaled from the palms or diffused, it creates a positive atmosphere, conducive to meditation and yoga, and promotes a good mood. On the skin, it contributes to healthy, smooth skin and reduces the appearance of blemishes; two drops in a facial steam leave the skin feeling nourished. One to two drops in damp hair make it silky and glossy, and with Peppermint and Tea Tree, it goes into a homemade shaving foam. Diluted with Lavender and Wild Orange, it is massaged in for a feeling of calm.

The sandalwood of incense, for meditation as much as for the skin.

In 1916, when the First World War blocked sandalwood exports to Europe, the Maharaja of Mysore had the wood distilled locally and founded a state soap factory. Mysore sandalwood soap is still made today, and in India the city remains synonymous with sandalwood.
