Sandalwood Powder is perfect for cosmetics, Facial masks, body scrubs, body powders, tinctures, maceration oil, and as a gorgeous incense alone or combined with other aromatics.
some customers tell me it is fine enough it will burn on its own. This means that very little Joss or Makko powder needs to be added to create self-burning Incense sticks and cones creating a fragrance is all Sandalwood.
Sandalwood powder was ground to a fine powder and can be burned on charcoal, an electric burner or on our resin. A little really goes a long way.
Since overharvesting decimated their Sandalwood tree population, India has not allowed the export of the remaining sandalwood trees and retains the remainder of the harvest for local sustainable use. The wood used for this powder is from my personal stash of fragrant aged wood from 2006
Planting of new Sandalwood trees in India has commenced but it will be a few more years before the trees reach the age where they can be harvested and their products exported once again.

Everyone knows the older the distillation of Sandalwoodthe more it ages the more valuable and more coveted this oil becomes.
