it’s so helpful !! thank you for this lovely post!!
Thank you for the post ! I couldn’t decide on which Sandalwood to get … will probably go for the indian one first.
But I notice that the indian sandalwood is from trees grown in Australia for conservation efforts (appreciate that too !) … Just wondering if PT has ever done a comparison between the active components between the EO distilled from sandalwood trees grown in india vs the same species grown in Australia ? Just curious !
I wish I could decide which one to get. I think I’ll get one and then the other
I love Indian Sandalwood. The best.
Hustle&Bustle as master blend is divine. I prefer this now to the Worry-free blend. They smell similar but less floral, and is KidSafe, too!
We’re so glad you like it!
Definitely not looking forward to my next sore throat, but I really want to try this.
This sounds amazing! I’m going to give it a try tonight with my 4 year old whom isn’t feeling that great.
Wish I’d bought this while on Spotlight…it’s now on my wish list after reading all the good attributes!
Thanks for all this info and the recipe too! Love Sandalwood so much! Hope to get a bigger bottle.
Thanks 🙂
I don’t know which one to try! I know I’m going to end up buying both but I can’t decide which one to get first. This blog just made me want them more lol
This has definitely inspired me! I will have to give the bath salt recipe a try for sure!!
Helpful blog post! Didn’t really know all the benefits of these oils. Can’t wait to try the bath salts!
This is the most precious, valued oil I own. I’m so grateful for it. Thank you for sharing the info!
I think I am going to try this. I’m glad it is the oil of the week!
Love both types of Sandalwood. I am so glad you offer the Indian in the 2.5 ml bottle. Great way to try the oil at a lower cost. Now it is time for me to buy a larger bottle!
Sandalwood is one of my favorite scents!! With 15% off, maybe I can finally justify the cost! 😀
Love sandalwood great that it was on spotlight sale.
Thank you for the comparison between the 2 sandalwood oils. I have not yet tried Indian Sandalwood, but it sounds beautiful. Thinking I will need to get this oil!
i Definitely need to get one of these!
I have used sandlewood with coconut and almond oil along with some other oils as a beard oil for my husband and he tried to use it but he said it dried his skin out and made it itch. Any suggestions. With my collection of oils topping 80 bottles he wants me to use what i have hear instead of buying the plant therapy beard oil.
How fun that there are 2 spotlight oils this week! Thanks for explaining the differences!
i bought sandalwood india and it smells so divine. can you advise which type is more suitable for oily skin/ summer weather?
I’ve been telling myself for months now that I really want to get sandalwood because I’ve been in love with that fragrance since I was 13.
Can’t wait to make the bath salts.
Love Indian Sandalwood! Just made a roller on with it and Spikenard. Hope to try your throat soothing recipe with Niaouli later!
Think I’m going to finally order Indian Sandalwood. Thank you for the bath salts recipe
I just love the sandalwood aroma!
Sandalwood is such a wonderful smell! Can you tell me if there is a huge difference in scent between Indian and Australian? I’ve only ever owned Australian and given the cost, I have been apprehensive to buy Indian without knowing how the two compare. Thank you!
Yes! There is a huge difference in my opinion. Indian Sandalwood is an incredibly rich, beautiful, and layered scent. Well worth trying. I adore it on my diffuser bracelet!
This is an oil I have been thinking about getting thanks you
This is the perfect time to get it, Michelle! Hope you love it!
This oil is at the top of my wishlist. I might need to get it this week! Sounds lovely!!
I am addicted to Indian Sandalwood. It is heavenly. I wear it for perfume on days I need a pick me up. It works great for sore throats. I am looking forward to making up the bath salts recipe. It sounds like it will be a luxurious bath.
I am so excited for this oil of the week! I have recently tried Sandalwood Indian and was a little worried that I was using it up to quickly. I plan to order Sandalwood Australian this week and take advantage of the deal. Thank you for the tip about sore throats. Definitely worth a try!
Ok, this has inspired me to finally try making bath salts – thanks for the recipe!
So excited that Sandalwood is the spotlight oil this week! I may have to get a larger bottle of it. I love it it in pretty much anything. Also thinking about maybe adding sandalwood and cedarwood to melt & pour soap to give as gifts for the guys.
This is perfect for this week, just start having anxiety and i adore the scent of sandalwood so what a great fit, yay!!
Thank you for this! It looks great 🙂 Will definitely be trying – I LOVE Sandalwood!!
Oh my…Sandalwood…they are both divine!
Thanks for pointing out the different therapeutic purposes. Very timely for cold (coughs) season.
