Spicy, Sweet + Sublime Sandalwood, the King of Woods.
Reveal inner peace and outer radiance with Heartwood’s decadent, deep woody lotion for hands and body. This luxurious formula, enriched with Indian sandalwood, is paired with a naturally rich blend of Shea, Kangaroo Paw, and Jojoba. Together, these ingredients create a deeply hydrating and firming lotion that nourishes and tones the skin without leaving a greasy residue, ensuring a silky-smooth finish.
An ayurvedic overachiever that nourishes, soothes, brightens & protects the complexion ~ Indian sandalwood’s rich concentration of antioxidants outshines that of Vitamin E.
Known as the 'King of Woods', Indian sandalwood (Santalum album) is revered for its rich, aromatic profile that is at once uplifting and grounding.
Beyond its captivating fragrance, science is now proving what Ayurveda and traditional Chinese medicine practitioners have known for centuries: Indian sandalwood's ability to cool, calm, and soothe the skin. When tested on skin cells in a recent study, Indian sandalwood oil demonstrated that it could help reduce inflammation by blocking certain cellular pathways that lead to skin irritation and aging.
Specifically, Indian sandalwood was found to inhibit the activation and movement of a protein complex known as NF-κB, which is involved in triggering the body's inflammatory response. Eclipsing the anti-oxidant value of Vitamin E, Indian sandalwood's bioactive constituents exert potent benefits for the skin and beyond.
These benefits include significant anti-inflammatory, antiproliferative, antioxidative, antimicrobial, and astringent properties, for radiant, bright, and optimally healthy skin.
For an enhanced body care experience, pair this lotion with the King of Woods Hand + Body Wash.

INDIAN SANDALWOOD BENEFITS
1. CALMS INFLAMMATION + REDNESS
When tested on skin cells in a 2021 study, Indian sandalwood oil was found to inhibit the movement of a protein complex known as NF-κB, which is involved in triggering the body's inflammatory response.
2. BREAKS DOWN HYPERPIGMENTATION
The sesquiterpene α-santalol, a key component of sandalwood oil, is an effective natural inhibitor of the enzyme tyrosinase, which plays a central role in the production of melanin, the group of molecules responsible for pigmentation of skin.
3. PRESERVES SKIN ELASTICITY
Indian sandalwood oil is proven through in vitro testing to preserve skin elasticity by inhibiting the activity of collagen-degrading enzymes.
4. PREVENTS PREMATURE AGING
When tested on human skin cells and tissues exposed to blue light and cigarette smoke, sandalwood oil outperformed even vitamin E (alpha tocopherol) in its ability to protect and rejuvenate the skin via its antioxidant potency.
5. IMPROVES HEALTHY SKIN CELL TURNOVER
When tested on human skin at low concentrations, Indian sandalwood oil has been proven to help eliminate damaged skin cells, allowing for the regeneration of new, healthy skin cells, resulting in younger and brighter looking skin.
6. SHRINKS PORES + FINE LINES
The bioactive compounds in sandalwood oil help to improve overall skin texture, contributing to the appearance of smaller pores and reduced fine lines.
7. TREATS + PREVENTS BREAKOUTS
Due to its abundance of alpha santalol compounds, Indian sandalwood oil has been proven to be a safe antiseptic agent, making it an ideal treatment for acne, enlarged pores, congestion, and break-out prone skin.
HOW TO APPLY
Apply generously to hands + body, inhale deeply to elevate mind and mood. Best absorbed on slightly damp skin.
