Sandalwood water is a gentle, aromatic hydrosol extracted from pure sandalwood. It carries the soothing essence of sandalwood wood and offers healing, cooling, and rejuvenating benefits. Think of it as nature’s own liquid calmness—light, refreshing, and incredibly nurturing for skin, hair, and the mind.
Traditional Importance of Sandalwood in Ayurveda
Ayurveda treasures sandalwood as a sacred ingredient used for purification, skincare, and emotional balance. It was traditionally used to cool Pitta dosha, calm the mind, and enhance skin radiance.
How Sandalwood Water Is Made
Steam Distillation Method
The most authentic sandalwood water comes from steam distilling sandalwood chips. Steam passes through the wood, capturing its therapeutic oils and aromatic molecules. As it condenses, it forms a hydrosol—pure sandal water.
Natural vs. Commercial
Natural sandalwood water has a subtle, woody aroma—not too strong. Many commercial products add artificial fragrance or alcohol. Pure sandal water remains gentle, chemical-free, and safe for skin.
