About
Australian sandalwood seed oil — a lightweight, nourishing oil rich in ximenynic acid that conditions and softens skin.
Santalum Spicatum Seed Oil is a fixed oil from the seeds of Australian sandalwood (Santalaceae). Unlike sandalwood essential oil, this is a carrier oil rich in ximenynic acid (a unique acetylenic fatty acid), oleic acid, and other lipids. It provides excellent skin conditioning and emollient properties. No GHS hazards, no EU restrictions. Used in premium skincare formulations.
