Hawaiian Sandalwood essential oil only comes from the Island of Hawaii, as the trees are endemic to the Island. It's known as the most therapeutic sandalwood in the world, even surpassing Indian Sandalwood due to the presence of santalols in abundant quantity.

This is one of my favorite oils in all of aromatherapy, and it's not just because I reside on the Island of Hawaii (Big Island). Compared to other sandalwood oils, Hawaiian Sandalwood is the most appealing to me. Its sweet, woody, caramel-like notes transport me to the misty forest above Kealakekua Bay where this oil comes from.
It's so serene, relaxing, and peaceful that one inhalation can lift me out of a stressful, worried, concerned, resentful, or otherwise joyless mindset.
Whether I use the Hawaiian Sandalwood Hydrosol as a face and/or body mist, or I inhale the Hawaiian Sandalwood essential oil from the bottle, the aroma never fails to satisfy my craving for aromatic wisdom. I also love to slather large amounts of the oil onto my body. Other people seem to appreciate that too! 😃
