Is this ethically sourced?

Yes. This sandalwood is bead waste collected from an artisan workshop in Indonesia and is sourced under strict Indonesian regulations for sustainable harvesting. The product description emphasizes it is authentic, pure, sustainable, and ethically collected—addressing concerns about overharvesting in India.

How does this compare to other sandalwood?

According to the product description, this Mysore-quality Indonesian sandalwood is identical in aromatic profile and chemical analysis to the finest Indian sandalwood, but costs less than standard Mysore quality powder. It is described as more lively and robust compared to Balloondust grade sandalwood, which is more sophisticated and gentle.

Is the powder fine and workable?

Yes. One reviewer describes it as soft and silky, noting they could easily take a pinch and blend it into skin. The texture appears suitable for mixing into other products and for direct application.

Is this authentic sandalwood?

The product description confirms this is authentic Santalum Album (White Sandalwood) collected from heartwood only, with chemical analysis showing it identical to Indian Mysore Sandalwood. The seller emphasizes that many fake and adulterated products exist on the market, and stresses this is the real deal.

Customers LOVE the samples I've sent them, and I apologize for taking so long to list them in the shop! So, here it is.
Though this Sandalwood is collected in Indonesia, the unmistakable fragrance of Indian Mysore Sandalwood greets you immediately upon opening the pouch.

Premium quality, buttery and distinguished, and high in essential oil, this powder is perfect for incense, body powders, dry perfume blends and perfume tinctures.

Unique Mysore Sandalwood aroma. Collected from heartwood only. Santalum Album-White Sandalwood.

Compared to our Balloondust Sandalwood powder, the Mysore type is more lively and robust, while the Balloondust grade is more sophisticated and gentle. Both are gorgeous.

Since overharvesting decimated their sandalwood tree population, India has not allowed the export of the remaining sandalwood tree products and has retained the remainder of the harvest for local use. 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.

Recently it was discovered that areas in Indonesia share the same climate and soil qualities as Mysore India, and they are hosts to the same species and sub-species of Santalum Album (White Sandalwood), which India is famous for.

The quality of the Indonesian Sandalwood, from its aromatic profile and chemical analysis, shows it to be identical to the finest Indian Sandalwood.

Having learned from our mistake of over-harvesting Indian Sandalwood faster than it could be grown, Indonesia imposes strict regulations and laws around the harvest of their Sandalwood trees.

There are a lot of fake and adulterated Sandalwood products on the market, and I have finally found the real deal. Authentic, pure, sustainable and ethically collected.
