Sourcing
There are many species of sandalwood. Santalum paniculatum is a sandalwood species native to Hawaii that doTERRA sustainably sources from the Big Island.
“ʻIliahi” is the Hawaiian name for sandalwood. Unfortunately, the sandalwood trade is a sensitive part of Hawaiian history. Out of respect for that history, we do everything we can to protect the trees and support the long-term survival of the species. Sandalwood is a hemiparasitic plant, meaning it connects to the roots of other plants to obtain water and nutrients. The highest concentration of essential oil is found in the heartwood, the central part of the tree. As the tree ages, the proportion of oil in the wood increases significantly, so the oldest trees contain the highest concentration of oil. For a sustainable harvesting program, it is therefore vital to allow the trees to mature. At the same time, actively planting young seedlings is essential to ensure abundant regeneration in sandalwood forests.
