History/Lore:

The essential oil Sandalwood has historical applications as an aid in meditation for religious ceremonies. Sandalwood was used as early as 4000 years ago in India, Egypt, Greece, and Rome. Sandalwood was even used as lumber in many temples and places of worship. The Egyptians used the oil in their embalming recipes. Over-harvesting of Sandalwood trees in combination with the 30 year period required for growth to a harvestable age make Sandalwood a rare and precious ingredient. We choose sustainably harvested Australian Sandalwood Oil as the Indian variety is now endangered.

*We recommend diluting all essential oils for skin application. Applying undiluted oils to the body can cause irritation and increase the risk of sensitization. While Kate's Magik essential oils are tested to ensure purity, we do not recommend or endorse taking essential oils internally unless you are working directly with a highly qualified practitioner who has been specifically trained in essential oil pharmacology.
