Ancient Wisdom Meets Modern Science

For centuries, Indian sandalwood (Santalum album) has been revered for its exceptional skincare benefits. Rooted in Ayurvedic and traditional healing practices, its reputation as a natural skin elixir is now being validated by modern dermatological research.

Scientific studies have revealed that Indian sandalwood oil, particularly its bioactive compound alpha-santalol, offers a wide range of skin-enhancing properties. With its anti-inflammatory, antioxidative, antimicrobial, astringent, and skin-renewing benefits, this natural powerhouse helps achieve healthy, radiant, and youthful skin.

At AR78, we take pride in incorporating the purest Indian sandalwood into our formulations, ensuring authenticity, sustainability, and unmatched quality. By sourcing, harvesting, and distilling our own sandalwood, we preserve the integrity of this precious ingredient while addressing its conservation challenges in India.

Our commitment to purity allows AR78 to offer products that are ethically sourced, scientifically backed, and deeply rooted in tradition.

Indian Sandalwood Skincare Benefits

1. Anti-Inflammatory

| Calms Irritation + Reduces Redness |

Sandalwood has long been used in Ayurvedic medicine for its ability to cool, calm, and soothe the skin. Scientific studies confirm that Indian sandalwood oil helps reduce inflammation by inhibiting key cellular pathways responsible for skin irritation. This makes it highly beneficial for conditions like rosacea, eczema, atopic dermatitis, and psoriasis, offering a gentle yet effective solution for sensitive skin.

2. Anti-Tyrosinase

| Fades Dark Spots + Balances Skin Tone |

Indian sandalwood oil contains α-santalol, a potent natural inhibitor of tyrosinase—the enzyme responsible for melanin production. By regulating melanogenesis, sandalwood oil helps reduce hyperpigmentation, dark spots, and uneven skin tone, leaving the complexion naturally bright and balanced.

3. Preserves Skin Elasticity

| Prevents Collagen Breakdown |

In vitro research has demonstrated that Indian sandalwood oil helps maintain skin elasticity by inhibiting enzymes that degrade collagen. By reducing levels of collagenase (MMP-1), a major contributor to skin aging, sandalwood oil effectively slows down the formation of fine lines and wrinkles, keeping skin youthful and firm.

4. Antioxidative Protection

| Shields Against Premature Aging |

When tested against blue light exposure and environmental pollutants like cigarette smoke, sandalwood oil outperformed even vitamin E in its ability to neutralize oxidative stress. By scavenging harmful free radicals, Indian sandalwood helps protect skin from premature aging, promoting a smooth, healthy complexion.

5. Anti-Proliferative

| Boosts Skin Cell Regeneration |

Indian sandalwood oil has been proven to support the natural renewal process of the skin. It helps eliminate damaged cells, preventing pre-cancerous formations such as actinic keratosis, while encouraging healthy skin cell turnover. This makes it an excellent choice for maintaining fresh, youthful-looking skin.

6. Astringent Properties

| Refines Pores + Smooths Texture |

Sandalwood oil’s astringent nature helps tighten the skin by interacting with proteins, reducing the appearance of pores and fine lines. Regular use improves overall skin texture, creating a refined and flawless finish.

7. Antiseptic Benefits

| Prevents Breakouts + Clears Congested Skin |

With its natural antiseptic properties, Indian sandalwood oil helps protect against bacteria, fungi, and other harmful microbes. It reduces inflammation and prevents acne, clogged pores, and skin congestion, making it a gentle yet powerful remedy for breakout-prone skin.
