How we make our Sandalwood oil

1. Selection of Raw Sandalwood

Only mature sandalwood trees (usually 30–60 years old) are used because they contain the maximum aromatic oil.

The heartwood (core part of the trunk and roots) is selected, as it has the highest oil content and richest fragrance.

The wood is cleaned, cut, and chipped into small uniform pieces.

The wood chips are finely powdered using traditional grinders.

This powder is then soaked in water for several days.

Soaking helps soften the wood and release the natural aromatic compounds.

The soaked sandalwood powder is loaded into a large copper vessel (Deg) or steel distillation unit.

Water is added and slowly heated over firewood or modern boilers.

As the water boils, steam carries the natural sandalwood oil molecules upward.

The steam passes through pipes into a cooling chamber (Bhapka or modern condenser).

Here, it condenses into sandalwood hydrosol + sandalwood essential oil.

Since oil and water don’t mix, the pure sandalwood oil floats on top.

It is carefully separated, collected, and filtered for clarity.

Freshly distilled oil is kept aside for weeks to months in natural containers.

This maturation process deepens the fragrance, making it richer, smoother, and longer-lasting.

After filtration and quality checks, the oil is filled into airtight bottles to preserve its purity.

No chemicals, synthetic fragrances, or additives are ever used – only 100% pure, natural sandalwood oil.
