sandalwood oil (Santalum album)(santal; santalum) is credited with astringent, anti-inflammatory, anti-bacterial, tonic, stimulant, cooling, and soothing properties. It is also considered a good anti-septic in cases of acne and an astringent for oily skin. There are indications that sandalwood oil may promote epidermal cell turnover as some report it stimulates fibroblast growth. Sandalwood could help prevent the skin dryness associated with seborrheic dermatitis, psoriasis, and eczema. In addition, some manufacturers utilize it as a natural colorant to give products a light red or rose tone. Sandalwood oil might produce a rash in hypersensitive people, especially if it is present in high concentrations. It is produced by distillation of the inner wood. | [CAS DataBase Reference]

East Indian sandalwood essential oil consists mainly of α-santalol (90%) with traces of phenols, lactones and terpenes. The oil obtained from the heartwood of the plant contains approximately 90% of α- and β-santalols and several other minor components including sesquiterpene hydrocarbons (~6%). The santalols are responsible for the pleasant odor. The seed oil contains stearolic acid and santalbic acid. |
