Description The sweet, woody aroma of Sandalwood oil is a reflection of the soothing benefits of the essential oil—which can be used for skin imperfections or to enhance meditation. Sandalwood is a name given to a class of fragrant woods that, unlike other aromatic woods, can retain their fragrance for decades. Both the wood and oil have been highly valued for centuries and Sandalwood has a documented history of many applications. It was traditionally used as an incense in religious ceremonies and for enhancing meditation, and the Egyptians used sandalwood for embalming. Sandalwood oil is very beneficial to the skin; it can help reduce the appearance of skin imperfections and it promotes a healthy, smooth complexion. Sandalwood oil has a sweet, woody aroma that is frequently used in meditation for its grounding effects.
