Santalum album oil is the essential (volatile) oil extracted from the wood of the white sandalwoodtree, a tree of the sandalwood family native to tropical countries that grows up to 9 meters high.

Santalum album oil is used in cosmetic formulations. The extract has a masking effect (reduces or inhibits an undesirable inherent odor or taste of the product).
