The oil for slowing down.
There's a reason sandalwood has been burned in temples and meditation spaces for thousands of years. The scent does something to the mind. Warm, woody, a little creamy. It doesn't demand attention. It just settles you. One breath and your shoulders drop half an inch.
Pure sandalwood oil is expensive. Really expensive. The trees take decades to mature, and demand has outpaced supply for years. This bottle gives you Australian sandalwood (Santalum album) diluted to 10% in organic jojoba oil. Enough concentration to get the full scent and skin benefits, at a price that doesn't require justification.
Why You'll Love The Sandalwood Essential Oil
- Meditation Companion: Sandalwood has been used in spiritual practices across cultures for centuries. Many people find that diffusing it during meditation or quiet time helps them settle in faster.
- Ready to Use: The 10% dilution in jojoba means you can apply it directly to skin or add it to your diffuser without additional prep. Patch test first, but no carrier oil math needed.
- Grounding Scent: Warm and woody without being sharp or overpowering. It lingers gently. People notice it, but it doesn't announce itself.
- Skincare Friendly: The jojoba base absorbs well and won't clog pores. Many people add a drop to their evening skincare routine for both scent and skin feel.
This Is Why We Do It
"My massage therapist had some of this, and it's so good I had to get my own."
How to Use It
For aromatherapy, add 3-5 drops to your diffuser. For topical use, apply a small amount to pulse points or add a drop to your moisturizer. The jojoba carrier makes it gentle enough for most skin types, but patch test first if you're sensitive. If you're pregnant, nursing, or have medical conditions, consult your healthcare provider before using.
Key Ingredients

Q: What does sandalwood smell like?
A: Warm, woody, and slightly creamy with a subtle sweetness. It's softer than cedar, less sharp than pine. The scent is grounding and lingers gently without being overpowering. It's been used in incense and meditation for thousands of years for a reason.
Q: Why is this diluted instead of pure?
A: Pure sandalwood oil is one of the most expensive essential oils in the world. The trees take 30+ years to mature, and demand has made prices steep. Diluting to 10% in jojoba gives you the full scent and benefits at a price point that makes regular use realistic. The jojoba also makes it ready to apply directly.
Q: What's the difference between Australian and Indian sandalwood?
A: Same species (Santalum album), different growing region. Indian sandalwood has been overharvested for decades and is now endangered in the wild. Australian sandalwood is sustainably farmed, addressing conservation concerns while delivering the same warm, woody scent profile.
