Pterocarpus santalinus L. Essential Oil, 500 ml

Red sandalwood oil, 500 ml for manufacturing

This 500 ml container serves workshops and brands that already use the woody note of Pterocarpus santalinus in their products. Red sandalwood, a pea-family tree from southern India, yields a dense, warm oil with a leathery facet. The product card lists the INCI name Pterocarpus Santalinus Wood Essential Oil and India as the country of production. A larger pack lets you produce for a long time from a single lot.

How many batches it covers

At 0.5 %, half a litre of oil covers about 100 kg of balms, body oils or creams. Solid perfumes and perfume oils use higher levels and need a separate calculation. Feed these figures into your production plan so the next purchase does not collide with a peak period, such as building gift sets before the holidays.

Keeping the scent steady

Woody oils vary less between lots than florals, but differences still occur, and loyal customers notice them. When you open a new container, take a retention sample, label it with the lot number and keep it for the shelf life of the finished goods.

Production uses

Men's grooming

Aftershave balms, beard oils and solid fragrances gain a recognisable woody base.

Body butters and balms

Add the oil once the mass has cooled to 40 °C. Butters are in wholesale solid oils and butters.

Candles and diffusers

In oriental blends red sandalwood forms the base with patchouli and vanilla.

Handling notes

In a cold warehouse the oil can thicken, so let the container warm up indoors and mix it before dosing. The dark colour can tint pale emulsions slightly, so check the shade again when scaling up. A working range of 0.3 to 1 % for body products is typical, and the safety assessment confirms final levels.

Blending in production

In men's ranges red sandalwood most often works with vetiver, cedarwood and bergamot. In body care it pairs with vanilla and mandarin, and in candles with patchouli and frankincense. For repeat runs, prepare a fragrance premix in the approved ratio and keep it in amber glass. At each batch you weigh a single liquid, which reduces dosing errors and makes the incoming check of the premix simple.

Labelling

Request them with the first container and compare them whenever the lot changes.

Production example: beard oil, 2 L

Combine 900 ml of jojoba oil, 600 ml of argan oil and 470 ml of fractionated coconut oil in a stainless steel vessel. Add 10 ml of tocopherol, 14 ml of red sandalwood oil and 6 ml of cedarwood oil, stir thoroughly and fill into dropper bottles. Antioxidants are in wholesale preservatives and antioxidants. To test a variation before a run like this, use the 50 ml bottle. The wider range is in wholesale essential oils.

Storage

Keep the container closed in a cool, dark room, and use a smaller working bottle for daily dispensing.

Pre-blending for production

Combine red sandalwood with its supporting woody and resinous notes in a separate vessel before each run, and let the blend rest for two days. A matured pre-blend is smoother and keeps batches consistent. Keep a small reference sample of each batch for comparison.
