Sandalwood

Santalum album, Mysore

Alpha-santalol, the principal active compound, demonstrates anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial, and anti-proliferative effects. It supports compromised and irritated skin with a well-established dermatological evidence base.

Traded along the ancient Silk Road and documented in Sanskrit texts as chandana, it has been used in Ayurvedic dermatology to cool pitta and calm inflamed, reactive skin. In Traditional Chinese Medicine it is known as Tán Xiāng (檀香), prescribed to regulate Qi, calm the mind, and open the chest.

Mysore-grade Santalum album is sustainably cultivated, reflecting the ethical sourcing principles underpinning this formulation.

Grounds the olfactory and sensory experience of application, a deliberate choice that supports the ritual and nervous system intention of the blend.
