When applied topically, Indian sandalwood has been clinically proven to stimulate parasympathetic responses, reducing nervous system markers such as heart rate, eye-blink rate, and systolic blood pressure, promoting a sense of deep relaxation.
A true 2-in-1 ingredient, research shows that while Indian sandalwood acts as a relaxant physically, it is a stimulant behaviorally; in other words, it calms the body while enhancing psychological attentiveness, allowing your mind to find its focus and stay alert.
With its powerful antioxidant properties, Indian sandalwood shows remarkable activity in combating oxidative stress, leaving skin well-aged and glowing. The ability of Indian sandalwood to preserve collagen helps reduce the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines, ensuring a smoother skin texture.
By inhibiting the tyrosinase enzyme, restoring luminosity and combating pigmented and dull skin, Indian sandalwood unlocks the natural glow of your complexion and provides skin with a luminous and radiant appearance.
Indian sandalwood oil combats acne from multiple angles with proven potent anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial properties.
Clinical research has reinforced that Indian sandalwood oil defends your skin against the damaging effects of pollution, UV rays, and blue light after cellular research found it to be more potent than lipophilic antioxidant vitamin E (alpha tocopherol).
Indian sandalwood oil exhibits remarkable chemical, physical, and microbial stability due to most of its constituents being sesquiterpene alcohols in nature. This structural advantage reduces the likelihood of spontaneous reactions. When formulated in emulsions, Indian sandalwood oil demonstrates considerable stability during the formulation process and storage in the final dosage form. A key attribute of Indian sandalwood is its chemical compatibility with other ingredients in cosmetic formulations. Indian sandalwood oil does not undergo oxidation, reduction, polymerization, or chelation with surfactants and other actives such as vitamins and plant extracts.
Indian sandalwood oil is a waterless ingredient that can be incorporated into waterless bases such as oils and waxes. Furthermore, it can be encapsulated into mineral, botanical, and engineered powders. As an essential oil, Indian sandalwood oil does not require water activation or ionisation to perform bioactivities, therefore, it is pH independent.
Indian sandalwood oil is freely soluble in non-polar solvents, such as plant oils, and it remains in liquid form even at lower temperatures without precipitation. When solubilised in water or emulsified into creams, lotions, and butters, Indian sandalwood oil can utilise a low concentration of surfactant with an HLB value higher than 10 to form a stable emulsion.
Indian sandalwood oil has demonstrated a broad usage range of 0.1 - 2.0% w/w in cosmetic formulations. In lower concentrations, it can be incorporated with other actives, while at inclusion of 1% and above it can be utilised as the main active ingredient. The oil has also exhibited low sensitivity and no irritation in several clinical studies. Safety assessments approved by the International Fragrance Association (IFRA) allow for the introduction of Indian sandalwood oil up to 100% in many skin applications.
