From Sandalwood to Vetiver: Our Ethos & Backstory

From Sandalwood to Vetiver: Our Ethos & Backstory
Sandalwood essential oil had always been crazy expensive.  As it should be.  It can take up to 60 years for a sandalwood tree to fully mature.  And the tree needs to be cut for the oil extraction.  I remember distinctly questioning the ever-increasing price one day with our supplier, and her answer.  "I can get for you, from Laos.  Much cheaper price. "  And I bought it. Once.  It smelled amazing.  But something in me wasn't comfortable.  And so I started researching about illegal logging and the black market trade in exotic forest timbers.
