Golden Harvest Premium Australian Sandalwood Powder

Sustainably Harvested Sandalwood Powder from Western Australia: A Premium Fine Powder for Incense & Aromatic Skin Health

An Artisan's Story: The "Marcus" Discovery

Marcus lives in Le Minh Xuan (Binh Chanh ward, HCM city), where the air is always filled with the rich fragrance of spices and herbs. He is an artisan incense maker known for his meticulously crafted, high-quality incense. Yet, for all his skill, Marcus faced a lingering question: How can he infuse his creations with an even more enchanting aroma?

Even though people loved his incense, Marcus felt the spiritual value was still missing. He believed his incense should do more than just smell good; it should also make people feel peaceful deep inside.

Then, one day, Marcus came across our Golden Harvest Premium Sandalwood Powder. When the package arrived, an unprecedented aroma permeated the air. Opening the bag, he felt he was in a peaceful, ancient forest, holding the distilled essence of nature itself.

Unable to resist, Marcus began crafting a new batch. As he incorporated the Golden Harvest Premium into the mix, he found it fused seamlessly, enhancing the overall blend. When the incense cone was lit, a rich, complex scent filled the air, as if the room itself was exhaling pure serenity. The aroma was richer and deeper than anything he had ever created.

The Aromatic Essence: A Pure, Un-Distilled Powder

Dear incense maker, this is what Marcus discovered. You are not just buying a product; you are investing in a rich, high-quality aromatic experience that cannot be replicated.

This is NOT post-distillation "dirt" or "spent wood," which is what many other powders from other vendors are. Those powders have had their valuable essential oil content stripped away. Our powder is a true un-distilled (pre-distilled) product, processed from 100% pure Santalum Spicatum wood. The aroma is full, complex, and complete, releasing its true note when burning.

Are you an incense maker looking to create uniquely enchanting cones or an aromatherapist desiring quality ingredients? Our Golden Harvest Premium Sandalwood is tailor-made for you. Its fine texture and consistency blend seamlessly, making it an incredibly versatile addition to your creations. Experience the aroma, feel the difference, and celebrate the sumptuous quality of true sandalwood.

Traditional Uses for Skin Health

Beyond incense and aromatherapy, this versatile powder has been used for centuries in traditional skincare for its gentle, calming benefits. Its natural cooling properties make it a prized natural ingredient.

The fine powder is celebrated for its ability to promote a clear complexion and is traditionally used to help manage acne and pimples. Scientific research has validated some of these traditional uses; a formula based on Santalum Spicatum was found to be a safe and effective treatment for mild-to-moderate acne (Moy et al., 2012).

Traditional How-to-Use:

• For Cosmetics: As a natural alternative to talcum powder, it imparts a smooth texture to beauty blends.

• For a Soothing Paste: Create a paste when mixed with rose water for hydration and to enhance your complexion.

• Combine with Herbs: Blend sandalwood powder with herbs to create masks that address overall skin health.

Incense making

To make your own sandalwood incense, start by gathering your sandalwood powder and a natural binder, such as Joss or Makko powder.

In a bowl, thoroughly mix your dry ingredients; a good starting ratio is often three parts sandalwood powder to one part binder. Alternatively, you can do 90g of sandalwood powder and 10 g of binders for a more intense sandalwood aroma.

Once the powders are fully blended, begin adding warm water, drop by drop, mixing as you go. You are aiming for a consistency like stiff clay or firm dough-it should be pliable and hold its shape without cracking or sticking to your hands. Once you have kneaded the dough and the texture is smooth with slightly dark brown in colour, you can shape this paste into cones or roll it onto thin sticks. Finally, place your incense in a warm, dry area with good air circulation for several days until it is completely hardened and dry to the touch, ready for burning.
You can use this in your religious ceremonies,
