Sandalwood trees mostly grow in the shrub and woodlands of Western and Southern Australia. The history of native Australians using Sandalwood Nuts dates back more than 40,000 years! It is believed to have been used externally and internally for sores and skin irritations.
Today there’re numerous clinical studies available, with a large number in progress, to prove this ancient nut’s value. The main active ingredient known as the extremely rare, ximenynic acid, is well-researched for its anti-ageing properties. It is widely believed that ximenynic acid protects the skin’s lines and enhances blood circulation. It also tightens and strengthens and the skin by decreasing the degradation of collagen and hyaluronic acid, leading to an improved complexion.

This unusual fatty acid has shown its beneficial effects based on in vitro and in vivo studies. It provides anti-inflammation, anticancer, antimicrobial, and larvicidal activities. Ximenynic acid may present an exciting opportunity for the treatment of inflammatory diseases in clinics. Moreover, it involves long-chain fatty acid metabolism, which may regulate insulin secretion and improve insulin resistance.
