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.
