Sandalwood Essential Oil 3%

SANDALWOOD ESSENTIAL OIL 3%

Sandalwood 3% is a blend of our 100% Pure Australian Sandalwood Essential Oil, diluted at 3% in our Jojoba Oil to create an affordable option. Like the pure Sandalwood Oil, this dilution also carries a deeply earthy and woody, yet sweet aroma, laced with subtle balsamic notes.

More than just its aroma thoguh, Sandalwood 3% boasts a vast range of therapeutic benefits due to its unique constituent alpha santalol, a naturally occurring compound that's known for its wellness properties that assist both physically and mentally.

• In aromatherapy, Sandalwood Essential Oil boasts natural sedative and relaxant properties that have shown to provide an overall calming effect on the mind and body, as well as helping to ease insomnia and balance emotions.
• These same properties are responsible for Sandalwood's ability to help relieve stress, anxiety, and nervous tension, and makes it perfect for use in meditation to promote mental clarity.
• Sandalwood Oil is well known for its antiseptic, antiviral and anti-inflammatory properties. Then applied topically, these benefits have been seen to assist with sore throats, chest infections and coughs, as well as boosting the immune system.
• Its anti-inflammatory and antioxidant nature is known to help relieve inflammation and itching, and promote skin cell regeneration. For this reason it has proven helpful for easing acne, psoriasis & dermatitis, as well as aiding the healing of minor wounds, insect bites and boils.
• In skincare, the antioxidant and astringent benefits of Sandalwood Oil are seen to promote smoother, tighter, and healthier looking skin.
• Studies on Alpha Santalol have also shown that it can help promote cell death of cancerous skin cells, meaning it may help to fight or slow the production of some skin cancers.

How to use Sandalwood 3% Essential Oil

• Topically/On the Go: As a 3% dilution, Sandalwood 3% can be used directly on the skin, however, being such a potent oil, we still recommend diluting it further to make the most of your bottle. Try adding 10-20 drops of 3% Sandalwood to a 15ml roller bottle and top with a carrier oil (such as Fractionated Coconut Oil) to create an on-the-go roller blend. Apply to your wrists, temples, behind your ears & bottoms of your feet.
  
• Skin Serum: Add a few drops to a carrier oil of choice and apply nightly to desired areas, avoiding your eyes and sensitive areas. Alternatively, you can add a couple of drops to your existing skincare products (cream / lotion) to boost their healing properties.
• Bath: Add a couple drops of Sandalwood 3% Essential Oil to a warm bath to provide a relaxing and immune-boosting environment.
• Fast Remedy: Add 1-2 drops of Sandalwood 3% Oil to a tissue and inhale, or alternatively, you can smell the oil directly from the bottle!

Please note that the following guidelines are recommended for healthy adults:
