good quality oil. Due to its high price and scarcity, Sandalwood is often adulterated and stretched with odorless solvents, to increase its quantity. Australia is now producing high quality, plantation raised Sandalwood Album for high volume essential oil production – but that is a story for a different day. The ethical supply chain of Buddha
Wood, certified by governmental regulations, means it is not at risk of overharvesting.
Conclusion Australian Buddha Wood Oil provides formulators with a novel ingredient for men’s fragrance and grooming products. The multifunctional nature of the oil delivers both fragrance and skin therapeutic properties. A tenacious woody aroma capturing the essenc e of the outback, with demonstrated anti-microbial and anti- inflammatory properties. The oil supports skin health and has great potential for replacing synthetic and natural products that cater for men’s skin health, such as shaving rash (folliculitis) and sweat rash (Candidal intertrigo). Buddha Wood Oil demonstrates strong
anti-microbial activity, Staph and Candida, as compared to other Australian Essential Oils. These two microbes are commonly implicated in men’s skin issues.
