This precious red heartwood comes from the Pterocarpus santalinus tree, found exclusively in certain regions of Southern India. Unlike the fragrant white sandalwood, Red Sandalwood is valued visually and therapeutically for its rich red pigment and potent skin-healing compounds, including santalins. Its use in face packs and skincare rituals is a timeless tradition for achieving a flawless glow.

As one of Ayurveda’s most effective beautifying herbs, Red Sandalwood (Rakta Chandan) is a powerful tool for skin health. Its cooling Pitta-pacifying nature helps to calm inflammation, making it ideal for acne-prone and irritated skin. It is traditionally used to improve complexion, lighten the appearance of scars and pigmentation, and absorb excess oil, leaving the skin clear and radiant.
● For a Clarifying Face Mask: Combine Red Sandalwood powder with honey for oily skin, or with milk for dry skin, to create a paste. Apply and leave on for 15 minutes before rinsing.
● For a Blemish Spot Treatment: Mix a pinch of the powder with a drop of water to create a thick paste and apply it directly onto pimples to help reduce inflammation.
Our Red Sandalwood is sourced from authentic, sustainable sources, ensuring you receive the true, non-aromatic Pterocarpus santalinus.
We use only the heartwood of the tree, which is then ground into a super-fine powder, perfect for creating smooth, luxurious face packs.
