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.
