Sustainability note: Indian sandalwood (Santalum album) is CITES-protected and overharvested — buy only certified sustainable Indian, OR choose Australian sandalwood (Santalum spicatum) which is a sustainable alternative with similar therapeutic properties. Generally very well tolerated topically. Premium specialty oil — expect high prices for authentic Australian or certified Indian.
