Is the sandalwood in your Kanna Tincture sourced ethically and sustainably?Updated a year ago
Yes. In 1998 Indian sandalwood (Santalum album) was added to the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) vulnerable species due to illegal harvesting an over-poaching in its native lands. Our sandalwood is plantation-grown in Australia by a company that supplies sustainable and full traceable premium sandalwood without the use of growth enhancers, and is a founding signatory of the IFRA-IOFI sustainability charter. 80% of their energy used is derived from a renewable source and they are currently trialing biochar use to further cut down on greenhouse gas emissions and reduce their carbon footprint.
