Sandalwood Australian (Santalum spicatum) is a highly valued essential oil derived from the heartwood of the native sandalwood tree found in Western Australia. Known for its rich, woody aroma and soothing properties, this variety of sandalwood offers a sustainable and ethically sourced alternative to Indian Sandalwood (Santalum album), which is now endangered.

Australian Sandalwood is prized not only for its warm, grounding scent but also for its therapeutic benefits. It is commonly used in aromatherapy for its calming and meditative qualities, in skincare for its anti-inflammatory and moisturizing effects, and in perfumery as a luxurious base note.

With a balanced composition and a more subtle, earthy profile than its Indian counterpart, Sandalwood Australian is a popular choice for those seeking a natural, eco-conscious option for wellness and beauty formulations.
