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.
