Sourcing
There are many species of sandalwood. Santalum paniculatum is a native Hawaiian species of sandalwood that doTERRA sustainably sources from the Big Island of Hawaii.
'Iliahi'. This is what sandalwood is called in Hawaii. Unfortunately, the sandalwood trade is a sensitive topic in Hawaiian history. Respecting this, we strive to do everything we can to protect the tree so that the species can survive as long as possible. Sandalwood is a hemiparasitic plant. This means it also parasitizes the roots of other plants to obtain water and nutrients. The highest concentration of essential oil is present in the heartwood, which is the central part of the wood. From the heartwood outwards towards the sapwood layer, the proportion of oil increases significantly with the age of the tree, so the oldest trees have the highest oil content. Therefore, for a sustainable harvesting program, it is vital to let the trees age. At the same time, active planting of saplings is also important to ensure an abundant supply in sandalwood forests.
