Description
The fresh, fruity scent of bergamot is a key ingredient in classic colognes. Bergamot's cleansing properties complement tea tree's purifying actions while moderating its medicinal aroma. Bergaptene-free bergamot has been re-distilled to remove most of the constituents that can accelerate sunburn. The aromatherapy actions of this oil are uplifting, normalizing and confidence-building.

Suppliers of the Sandalwood essential oils in Australia:

After concerns were raised about the dwindling supplies of Indian sandalwood, Aura Cacia's sourcing expertise led them to a sustainable alternative - Australian sandalwood oil from sustainably harvested trees - the key to reversing the over-harvesting that threatens the continued availability of sandalwood. Australian sandalwood essential oil is not only great for aromatherapy, it's great for the future of sandalwood as well. Aura Cacia is leading the way to a sustained supply of this long-prized oil with a commitment to sell only sandalwood oil produced from sustainably harvested sources.
