DefinitionThis section has been translated automatically.

Santalum album oil is the essential (volatile) oil extracted from the wood of the White Sanders Tree, a tree up to 9m high, from the sandalwood family, which is native to tropical countries.

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