Sandalwood
Sandalwood actively protects & repairs the skin, increases collagen synthesis, is anti-inflammatory, antioxidant rich & is a dermal adaptogen (28), with relaxing, warming, confidence building & grounding aromatherapeutic properties (23).
Due to these incredible benefits & many other uses, Sandalwood has been threatened by over-harvesting so to ensure ethical sourcing of this precious ingredient, Rānu Blume uses West Indian Sandalwood; Amyris Balsamifera.
