How much do I need?

Australian Sandalwood essential oil is slow, steady, and quietly grounding — the kind of oil that earns its place in a collection rather than announcing itself. 

Distilled from the roots and heartwood of Santalum spicatum, it carries a creamy, close-sitting wood aroma that feels present without weight. We source this oil for its integrity and its versatility: it anchors fragrance blends, enriches skin care formulations, and brings a sense of calm and intention to personal rituals. 

For makers building with natural materials and for anyone who values a grounded, honest base note, Australian Sandalwood is a dependable and meaningful choice.

Diffuse to create a grounded, calming atmosphere that settles the room without heaviness. A natural companion for meditation, breathwork, and yoga practices where stillness and focus are the goal.

Australian Sandalwood is one of the most widely used base notes in natural perfumery, valued for its ability to anchor floral, citrus, and resinous blends while adding depth and longevity. Commonly used in personal fragrance oils, roll-ons, and solid perfumes.

In skin care, it is a popular addition to facial serums, moisturizing body oils, and balms, particularly in formulations targeting dry or mature skin. Its rich, creamy quality makes it well suited for beard oils, after-shave blends, and intimate skin care products.

Often included in anointing oils and intentional ritual blends due to its longstanding spiritual associations. Can be added to bath salts and bath oils for a grounding soak.

Dilute well for all topical applications due to its richness and concentration.

Caution

Skin sensitivity may occur. Essential oils are highly concentrated and should be diluted before applying directly to the skin. Keep out of reach from children. If pregnant or breastfeeding please ask your doctor before use.
