Common Uses:
Did you know? Sandalwood grows wild with shallow roots, taking its nutrients from a host tree in a manner that benefits both. It takes nitrogen and amino acids from the host while both trees benefit from the added shade, grazing and wind protection. The tree grows slowly, taking between 15-25 years to lay down the oil that is so prized and going on to live up to 100 years, well out-living its childhood hosts.
Suggested Storage: Stored at temperature <30°C in closed containers and protected from direct sunlight.
