At Sodashi we are always using the highest quality ingredients is important for the efficiency and effectiveness of our beautiful skincare. I have long been aware of ongoing issues with supply and sustainability of East Indian sandalwood, from India.
However when the delightful Alex Wilson from Heartwood introduced me to sandalwood by Copperhead, and shared how it’s grown sustainably in the Ord River region of Northern Western Australia, I was keen to experience it.
Not only is the aroma divine, this Sandalwood has proved to be outstanding quality and it is now the only Santalum album we use in our fabulous Sodashi skincare.

Indian sandalwood has always been one of the most exquisite skincare oils. Sandalwood’s ability to sooth inflammation and calm skin is even more necessary now as we inflict the most extreme of skincare regimes, environmental pollutants, diet and lifestyle on our skin on a daily basis.
Apart from its skincare properties the aroma of sandalwood evokes so much, calming woody essence with grounding strength and all steeped in a history of centuries of taking care of skin. Sandalwood has a simplicity that works across many, many skincare and lifestyle complications and that is why I couldn’t be without it in my formulas.
Knowing there is this quality available throws any other choice into the dark. Working with Copperhead has been extremely easy, friendly and efficient too. You can trust the quality whilst working with accessibility and efficiency but the overriding impression is that everyone has their heart invested.
Indian Sandalwood is literally the calm in a skincare storm.
When you find an oil of such high quality, provenance and sustainability it’s actually harder NOT to partner.

AROMATHERAPIST, OWNER CLEAN SLATE
What sets Indian sandalwood apart isn’t just the phenomenal creamy, woody scent profile, but that it contains the highest concentration of active constituents (santols), compared with other varieties of sandalwood. This gives Indian sandalwood a higher therapeutic value. It’s known to be great for people that have anxiety, nervousness, and depression as well as enhancing mood and sensual feelings. It is a proven relaxant and promotes a better sleep.
One of my favourite benefits of sandalwood is its ability to promote healthy looking and smooth skin.
Applying sandalwood oil to the skin helps promote a smooth, balanced complexion and can also be helpful in reducing the appearance of skin imperfections.
To me quality, traceability and sustainability are super important. I love working with companies that are transparent about their processes and reduce their environmental impact.
