Did you know? Santalum spicatum, our Australian Sandalwood Essential Oil’s source plant, has a surprising trick. Unlike most plants, it's a hemiparasite, using specialised roots (haustoria) to tap water and nutrients from its other neighbouring plants. This lets it thrive in Australia's harsh soils, showcasing a clever adaptation. Despite its parasitic nature, Santalum spicatum still contributes to the ecosystem by providing habitat and food for other species, highlighting the intricate balance of nature.

Suggested Storage: Stored at temperature <30°C in closed containers and protected from direct sunlight.
