❓ 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.

How to 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.

For diffuser use

Add 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.

Precautions
  • 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.
Warning

For external use and aromatherapy only. Do not ingest any essential oil.

Essential oils are highly concentrated — always dilute with a carrier oil before applying to skin. Avoid contact with eyes and mucous membranes. Keep away from children and pets at all times.

Storage

Shelf life: 1–2 years from bottling date when stored in cool, dark place. Keep cap tightly sealed. Do not store in plastic.

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

Storage

  • Store in the original amber/dark glass bottle — never in plastic.
  • Keep in a cool, dark place (15–20°C ideal) away from direct sunlight.
  • Keep the 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.
