What Makes Sandalwood Essential Oil So Effective?
Sandalwood’s calming and restorative power comes from its high concentration of santalols, natural compounds shown to reduce stress, enhance mental clarity, and support restful sleep. Beyond its calming effects, santalols also exhibit anti-inflammatory, antiseptic, and skin-rejuvenating properties, making Sandalwood a versatile oil for both aromatherapy and skincare (Kaur et al., 2016).
Historically treasured in India for meditation, perfumery, and ceremonial rituals, Sandalwood continues to be a trusted companion for emotional balance, focus, and mindful self-care—offering a timeless aroma that nurtures both body and mind.
