Spicy, Sweet & Sublime Sandalwood, the King of Woods.
Elevate every sink and shower with Heartwood's King of Woods Indian Sandalwood Hand & Body Wash. Sulphate and silicone free, our iconic wash is enriched with nature’s finest antiseptics and anti-inflammatories, including Amyris, Cedarwood, Patchouli, and our inimitable Australian-grown Indian sandalwood.
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 ageing.
Eclipsing the antioxidant 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.
Elevate your bathroom experience to divine heights with this luxurious wash. For skin that truly sings, pair it with the King of Woods Indian Sandalwood Hand + Body Lotion.
