Sandalwood - Blended Essential Oil

Sandalwood Essential Oil (Santalum album) is a richly aromatic oil steam-distilled from the heartwood of the sandalwood tree, traditionally grown in India and other parts of Southeast Asia. Prized for centuries in both perfumery and spiritual practice, Sandalwood is known for its warm, woody, and creamy aroma that promotes deep calm and emotional grounding.
