Clarins cosmetics and perfume house has been buying sandalwood oil from Mount Romance in Albany, western Australia for almost 10 years. Courtin-Clarins, eleder son of the company’s founder said that the company could easily double the purchase over the next five years.
Traditonally Indian sandalwood trees produced the best oil, which was used to make Clarins’ signature face and body treatment oils but the purity of Australian sandalwood oil – and the way it is sustainably extracted and processed – are some of the main reasons why Mr. Clarins is such a keen advocate of the Australian oil. The oil is produced by listed forestry company TFS.
