INIMITABLE INDIAN SANDALWOOD
Our signature sandalwood
Amid the pristine wilderness of Western Australia’s remote east Kimberley region, Indian Sandalwood is sustainably grown by Heartwood for Heartwood. By growing, harvesting, and distilling sandalwood, we not only ensure the purity of our products but also address the critical conservation challenges faced by sandalwood in its native region of India, where the species is nearly extinct in the wild.
Our commitment to sustainable practices allows Heartwood to provide a product that is ecologically responsible, backed by science and rooted in tradition.
Heartwood’s proprietary face oil skincare formulas are tested by an independent laboratory in the UK using 55 test subjects over 2 months and are:
• Dermatologically Approved
• Clinically Tested
• Kind to Skin
• Safe for Sensitive Skin
WHAT IS SANDALWOOD?
Declared a ‘royal tree’ in 1792, Indian sandalwood’s exquisite energetic properties have enraptured humankind for over four thousand years. A sacred sensory experience revered the world over, this rare ‘wonder’ wood boasts a complex nutrient profile scientifically proven to relieve tension and revive skin, body + state-of-mind.
Quite literally worth its weight in gold, second to oud, Indian sandalwood is the world’s most valuable tree – as potent as it is precious with its rich history deeply rooted in science.
Why is sustainable sandalwood so important?
A coveted natural ingredient the world over, the Indian sandalwood (Santalum album) species has been a fixture on the ICUN Threatened species red list since 1998. Despite conservation efforts, the native population has continued to decline according to the most recent Global Tree Assessment, conducted by Botanic Gardens Conservations International (September 2021).
Sustainable sandalwood farms, like the farms we rely on for Heartwood's sandalwood, are the future of the industry. They will help ensure that future generations can enjoy the benefits of sandalwood just as the ancients did long before us.
