Organic Sandalwood Essential Oil Perfume Cosmetic Raw Material

Sandalwood oil is a highly valued essential oil steam-distilled from the heartwood and roots of the sandalwood tree, primarily Santalum album, which is known as Indian Sandalwood. It is one of the oldest and most expensive perfume ingredients in the world, renowned for its rich, soft, and woody scent that is both complex and long-lasting.

The key characteristic that makes sandalwood oil so special is its high concentration of santalol, an organic compound that gives the oil its signature fragrance, fixative properties, and many of its therapeutic benefits. Santalol content (often 60% or higher in high-quality oil) is a primary measure of the oil’s quality and authenticity.
