DESCRIPTION:

The valuable part of the sandalwood tree is the heartwood. Older trees has more heartwood and is more valuable than young sandalwood trees that produce lower quality oil. Our sandalwood essential oil is obtained from the extraction of the heartwood of the Santalum macgregorii tree from Papua using the steam distillation method. The resulting oil is a colorless liquid to golden yellow with a distinctive, woody, and persistent aroma. In aromatherapy, Sandalwood essential oil is used to calm the mind, promote a sense of peace and clarity, and enhance mood and sensual feelings[1,2,3].

BOTANICAL OVERVIEW:

Santalum macgregorii belonging to the Santalaceae family is a hemiparasitic plant, with many stems 7–21 m high with an open crown, 25 cm in diameter, crooked and short stems. This plant requires rainfall of around 1000 mm per year. The bark is rough, somewhat patterned; the leaves are light green, opposite, lanceolate. This species grows well in well-drained areas, pure sandy soils such as loam to mottled clay loams that have calcrete modules are preferred for its growth.

This tree grows naturally in Papua New Guinea, occurring in the Central and Gulf provinces from near sea level to 750 mASL. Santalum macgregorii is endemic to Papua New Guinea (PNG) in savanna forests and grasslands. This PNG sandalwood was commercially exploited in the late 1800s. This species is commercially important for its essential oil obtained from the heartwood of the tree. The value of the oil depends on the chemical constituents of the oil, the quality, and the quantity of the heartwood. The main chemical contents are (Z)-β-curcumin-12-ol, (Z)-β-santalol, (E,E)-farnesol, (Z)-α-santalol, (Z)-γ-curcumin-12-ol, (Z)-lanceol (Z)-nuciferol. Santalum macgregorii wood is used for carving and burned as incense. The essential oil from the heartwood is used in the perfumery, cosmetics, and aromatherapy industries. The oil has a fragrant odor[4,5,6].

HISTORY:

Sandalwood is a luxurious essential oil with a very soft, sweet, woody aroma that is characteristic of oriental perfumes and incenses. Sandalwood oil is derived from the heartwood of trees in the genus Santalum. Sandalwood oil is one of the most expensive oils in the world because the tree is very slow growing, taking decades to mature before it can be harvested for oil production.

There are approximately 30 species of sandalwood trees found throughout Asia, Australia, and the Pacific, but only a few are widely used for essential oils. East Indian Sandalwood from the Santalum album tree is the classic source of essential oil, still considered to be of the finest quality. However, due to aggressive overharvesting, this species is now endangered and its oil production is limited. Efforts are underway to increase sustainable cultivation of East Indian Sandalwood.

The use of sandalwood has been documented as far back as 4000 years ago, originating in India and spreading through ancient Egypt, Greece, and Rome. Sandalwood oil has many applications that include aesthetic, practical, and spiritual. Ancient Arabs used crushed sandalwood to make incense and solid perfumes, while in China, Tibet and Nepal, the thick, strong wood was used to make statues in temples and monasteries. East Indian sandalwood oil has further been used in traditional Ayurvedic and Chinese medicine for centuries, as part of the treatment of the common cold, muscular and digestive problems, infections, inflammation and to address mental health.

Spiritually, the ancients were fond of building temples and other sacred structures with sandalwood, the Egyptians used it in embalming and religious rituals, and Indian Muslims burned it as incense to elevate the souls of the recently deceased. Sandalwood still plays an important role in Indian spiritual rituals, as it is considered an aid to meditation and is often burned on altars as a means of divine communication.

In Buddhist practice, it is considered one of the three integral incenses, along with Agarwood and Clove. Today, sandalwood remains one of the most commercially valuable trees, although its use has been drastically reduced due to over-harvesting and is now primarily used to produce oil. Incredibly rich and creamy, Sandalwood essence is so highly prized and expensive that it is often referred to as “liquid gold”, appearing frequently in high-end perfumes and cosmetics. It is also one of the most valuable aromatherapy oils, renowned for its extraordinary fragrance and renowned benefits[7].
