About this composition

This record is species-specific to Australian plantation-grown Santalum album rather than Santalum spicatum. The quantitative profile is anchored to a directly readable Plant Therapy / PhytoChemia GC/MS report for Australian-grown Indian sandalwood and paired with the Eden Botanicals plantation-grown product page for the exact oil style in this archive.
