❓ Frequently Asked Questions

How do I use it for meditation?
Add 3–4 drops to a diffuser before your meditation session, or apply 1–2 drops (diluted in a carrier oil) to your wrists and temples. The warm, woody aroma helps anchor the mind and deepen focus.

How do I use it for better sleep?
Diffuse 4–5 drops in your bedroom 30 minutes before sleep, or apply diluted oil to the soles of your feet or chest. The alpha-santalol compound has a documented calming effect on the central nervous system.

How do I use it for skin brightening?
Mix 2–3 drops into your night moisturiser or a carrier oil like jojoba or almond. Apply to clean skin at night. Regular use helps reduce dark spots, even skin tone, and improve overall radiance.

Is this real Santalum album (Indian sandalwood)?
Yes — this is pure Santalum album, the authentic Indian sandalwood species prized for its high alpha-santalol content and rich, creamy-woody fragrance. Not to be confused with cheaper Australian or synthetic alternatives.

Can I use it in perfumery or as a personal fragrance?
Absolutely — sandalwood is one of the most prized base notes in perfumery. Dilute in a carrier oil and apply to pulse points for a long-lasting, natural fragrance.

Safety, Dilution and Usage Guide

ESSENTIAL OIL
SAFETY — ALWAYS READ BEFORE USE:

 DILUTION IS
MANDATORY FOR SKIN APPLICATION:

Essential oils are highly
concentrated plant extracts and must always be diluted in a carrier oil before
applying to skin. Never apply undiluted (neat) essential oil directly to skin —
this can cause irritation, sensitisation, or chemical burns.

 

STANDARD DILUTION RATIO: 2–3% =
approximately 12–15 drops of essential oil per 30ml (6 teaspoons) of carrier
oil

Suitable carrier oils: coconut
oil, sesame oil, almond oil, jojoba oil

 

SAFE FOR DIFFUSER: 2–4 drops in
a standard electric diffuser with 100–200ml water. Run for 30–60 minutes
maximum per session. Ventilate the room between sessions.

 

NOT FOR INTERNAL USE: OotyMade
essential oils are for external use and aromatherapy only. Do not ingest any
essential oil.

 

CAUTIONS:

— Keep away from
eyes and mucous membranes at all times

— Keep out of
reach of children

— Not recommended
for use directly on children under 3 years without medical guidance

— Pregnant or
breastfeeding women should consult their doctor before use

— Conduct a patch
test before broad skin application: apply diluted oil to inner arm, wait 24
hours, check for reaction

— Store in a cool, dark place away from direct
sunlight and heat — essential oil quality degrades with light and heat exposure



Shipping, Storage and Shelf Life

SHELF LIFE: 1–2 years from
bottling date when stored correctly.

Essential oils do not expire in
the traditional sense but their potency and aroma degrade over time with
improper storage.

 STORAGE:

— Store in original amber/dark
glass bottle — never in plastic

— Keep in a cool, dark place
(15–20°C ideal) away from direct sunlight

— Keep cap tightly sealed after
every use — exposure to air oxidises the oil

— Avoid storing near heat
sources (stove, window with sun exposure)

— Refrigerating certain oils
(citrus-based) can extend their life
