West Indian Sandalwood Essential Oil 10ml - 100% Pure
-
Intoxicating and exotic, light, warm, sweet woody scent with honey notes, the West Indian Sandalwood Essential Oil has an aroma that is one of a kind. It is thought to be one of the oldest materials used for aromatic and perfumery uses and has been used for at least 4,000 years.
Also known as Amryis, it is a sustainable substitute of the now endangered East Indian Sandalwood.
At Potions, we don't carry the traditional Sandalwood (Santalum album) because it has become an endangered species. Instead, try Amyris which has a similar scent and similar properties as Indian Sandalwood (and is way more budget-friendly too)!It lifts the mood and can help clear and calm the mind and induce a meditative state.
If there is any essential oil you'll want on hand to help relieve stress and anxiety brought on during daily tasks, it's West Indian Sandalwood. Adding this oil into your life can help soothe your mind, bringing a sense of calm, after a tiring, long day.
It can be helpful for hydrating and rejuvenating dry and mature skin. Help improve the appearance of fine lines and the texture of mature skin.
