    PURE AUSTRALIAN BUDDHA WOOD OIL

    The scented wood is burnt for its pleasant aroma. The oil hasalso been used for perfumery, bath, massage, diffuser, blending,and a perfume fixative. The rare sesquiterpene compounds lend anti-inflammatory properties to this rare and unique oil. This woody scented oil provides deep relaxation to body, mind and spirit.
      

    PURE AUSTRALIAN SANDALWOOD OIL

    Of the 15 different sandalwood species, Australia is the largest grower/producer of the two most popular and respected species – Australian Sandalwood (Santalum spicatum or Fusanus spicatus) and Sandalwood Album (often known as Indian Sandalwood, Santalum album). Both Sandalwood Oils are COSMOS certified, produced in accordance with strong Sustainability accreditations, and fully traceable from plantation or government lands.

    Sandalwood Album Oil contains the highest concentration of santalols, including 41-55% of alpha- santalol and 16-24% of beta-santalol. Beta-santalol is thought to be largely responsible for defining the soft, creamy, and woody fragrance. Studies show that alpha-santalol can reduce anxiety and also possesses antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. Sandalwood Album Oil offers benefits to both mind and body.

    Australian Sandalwood Oil is native to the wilds of Western Australia, comprised of lower alpha-santalol content (15-25%), but rich in alpha-bisabolol and beta-santalene. While these components support its anti-inflammatory potential, Australian Sandalwood oil’s woody, herbal aroma also makes it popular as a base in fragrance formulations.
     

     

    PURE AUSTRALIAN TEA TREE OIL

    Many research studies have shown Tea Tree Oil’s efficacy against a wide range of bacteria, typically in concentrations of 1% or less. (Hammer et al., 2006) Of particular note is Tea Tree Oil’s effectiveness in the treatment of acne.Tea Tree Oil is also a known and proven antiviral. It is confirmed (in vitro and in vivo studies) to also offer strong efficacy against a wide range of yeast and fungus. It is considered nontoxic and non-irritant, sensitizing to less than 0.2% of the general population.
