Indian Sandalwood Essential Oil by Vynava

    Our Indian Sandalwood Essential Oil by Vynava is sourced from mature sandalwood heartwood and carefully steam distilled to ensure exceptional purity, depth, and consistency. This highly prized aromatic oil is often regarded as superior to other sandalwoods, such as Australian sandalwood. This is due to it's significantily higher concentration (around 70% to 90%) of alpha- and beta-santalol, the key compounds that give it a richer, sweeter, creamier, and more refined aroma. Due to the highly pleasing aromatics of this oil, it is one of the most valued ingredients in fine perfumery, aromatherapy, and luxury personal care formulations.
