Do not use undiluted on the skin: it is a raw material, not a finished product.

Use

Essential oil Sandalwood austrocaledonicum has a distinctive sandalwood scent: creamy, coconut, wood. The fragrance is not overly strong and does not need to be diluted before use in the fragrance composition. It is very reminiscent of the oil of white sandalwood and is just as versatile. For example, use it as part of a sandalwood accord. You usually only use a little of this substance in the fragrance composition, because of the price. Using a bit more is not a problem in itself. It is mainly a base note in perfumes and is stable in most products, including soap.

Store cool, dry and dark.
