Research:
There has been consumer research into the skin benefits on a sample group of Australian people. The results found that participants reported their skin felt softer, their face felt more moist and supple, there were less wrinkles and flakiness. there were also good reports on the benefits to the skin on the hands, neck and around the eyes.
Extraction and Farming Method:
Australian Sandalwood plantations now total over 14,000 hectares, primarily in the wheat belt of Western Australian. Nut production has begum in recent in years, it is anticipated trees will be ready for harvest for timber and essential oil production around 2018/19.
The trees are grown conventionally in plantations with a host tree (usually an Acacia called Raspberry Jam Acacia – Acacia acuminata) planted within a metre or so of an Australian Sandalwood tree. The Sandalwood trees find moisture and nutrients from the Wattle/Acacia tree, without killing the Acacia/host tree.
Nuts are harvested, mechanically processed (nut cracking of the hard woody shell). The nut kernel is then placed into a machine where the oil is extracted via super critical CO2 distillation. This distillation uses no heat and produces the best oil, with little to nothing lost in the processing of the nut.
History – Sandalwood Nut Oil:
Traditional Usage
The nuts were prised for moisturising the skin, hair and scalp by indigenous people for centuries around Western and South Australia. Today the indigenous people still harvest Australian Sandalwood trees.
Early European Usage
The kernel was not used very much it seems by colonial Australians.
Present Day Usage
This is a very new and exciting carrier oil to the cosmetic and aromatic industries. A lot of research has been done on this oil and it has been approved by government regulatory authorities for use on the skin and scalp.

Excellent oil for soothing and smoothing skin and does not clog the pores. I add a blend of Rosemary and German Chamomile essential oil at 5% dilution for extra benefits. This oil may not be suitable if your skin is very dry, best to try the macadamia oil.
