Santanol

Establishing Ourselves as a Leader

Santanol is one of the newest members of the Mercer family and operates East Indian Sandalwood plantations in Kununurra, in the northwest of Australia. The plantations, with a cultivation area of approximately 2,500 hectares, produces one of the finest essential oils found in nature. In the 1980s, The Western Australian Forestry Authority realized that because of Australia’s rich water resources and tropical temperatures they were a strong candidate to aid in the cultivation of Sandalwood by establishing their own plantations. Thanks to this government program, the first owners of Santanol planted their first East Indian Sandalwood trees in the late 1990s.

Our pure and natural Sandalwood oil is derived from the rich heartwood of the trees. We use traditional low-pressure steam distillation to produce the oil from the roots, trunks, and large branches of the trees. The oil is then refined and blended through state-of-the-art techniques in our distillation and processing facilities to meet our clients’ requirements, whether it be for aromatherapy, flavours, fine fragrances, pharmaceutical, or skincare products.
