Sandalwood-It's Precious Heartwood
The most valuable part of the sandalwood tree is the scented heartwood. If the tree establishes itself in a favorable location it will begin forming the heartwood after 10 years of growth. At that point the girth of the tree will be about 9 inches and its height 10 feet. After 20years the heartwood begins to form rapidly and reaches its prime in the 50-60 year range at which point the tree will be about 2-3 feet in girth, and upto 60 feet high. The trees having reached this stage and considered ripe for harvest are uprooted not cut, as the roots are highest in oil content.

Sandalwood oil:
Sandalwood oil is famous for its fragrance and for its antibacterial properties. We are distilling African Sandalwood oil from natural resources of Africa.
We are providing only 100% pure Sandalwood Oil.

Our Distillation Process:
The billets of branch and root are first coarsely chipped and then ground to a fine powder. Steam distillation, the most common method of essential oil production, involves the flow of steam into a chamber holding the raw plant material. The steam causes small sacs containing essential oil to burst. The oil is then carried by the steam out of the chamber and into a chilled condenser, where the steam once again becomes water. The crude sandalwood oil floating on the distillate surface is skimmed off, separated from the remaining liquid and scum impurities, and then filtered. We have taken extra care for the purity and then it is heated at a temperature of 90 degrees which removes the water content after which it is filtered and finally packed in export packing.
