Sandalwood Powder-Mysore Quality

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

Mysore Quality Sandalwood Powder is collected from heartwood only. Santalum Album-White Sandalwood.

Compared to our Balloondust Sandalwood powder, the Mysore Sandalwood powder is more lively and robust, while the Balloondust grade is more sophisticated and gentle. Both are gorgeous.
You can find the Balloon Dust Sandalwood powder and chips in the shop 

Since overharvesting decimated their Sandalwood tree population, India has not allowed the export of the remaining sandalwood tree products and retains 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 Powder, from both 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.

Our supplier/harvester adheres to all government laws, which include planting ten new trees for every tree they remove from the forest.

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.
