Sandalwood

Sandalwood is an ingredient we love using at The Gift Label, and for good reason. But what exactly is sandalwood, and why do we use it?

What is Sandalwood?

Sandalwood is a wood from Indonesia, specifically Timor and Sumba. It now comes from India because Indonesia was unable to maintain it. Sandalwood has a pleasant scent, making it a popular choice in perfumes. Besides its fragrance, it also has excellent restorative properties. This is why it's also used in many cosmetics. We also use this natural product at The Gift Label.

What does sandalwood smell like?

Sandalwood has a wonderfully warm and woody scent. It has full notes with a soft, creamy undertone. It blends beautifully into the room, so you'll never experience an overpowering fragrance. Besides perfumes and cosmetics, sandalwood is also used in wine, allowing you to experience its delightful aromas while tasting.

The effects of Sandalwood

Besides its wonderful scent, sandalwood is also incredibly good for your skin. It's often blended into oil for easy application. Sandalwood oil acts as a moisturizer and is suitable for a wide variety of skin types. It can work wonders for oily, inflamed, dry, or cracked skin.
Sandalwood improves the circulation of capillaries and lymph. It also strengthens the skin and underlying connective tissue. It has a calming effect, making it a perfect tool for total relaxation.
