Sandalwood Hydrosol | Skin Brightening, Acne & Root Chakra Healing Toner

Calli Sandalwood Hydrosol — also known as sandalwood hydrolate or Santalum album botanical water — is one of nature's most revered and therapeutically rich botanical waters. Steam-distilled from sustainably sourced sandalwood heartwood, it carries documented anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial, antioxidant, and skin-brightening properties in a gentle, daily-use form that requires no dilution. Naturally pH-balanced, alcohol-free, and safe for all skin types. Anti-Inflammatory & Skin Calming Alpha-santalol — sandalwood's primary active compound — inhibits pro-inflammatory cytokines and chemokines, making this hydrosol a powerful daily support for reactive, redness-prone, or post-treatment skin. Research confirms meaningful activity against psoriasis and atopic dermatitis pathways, including inhibition of IL-17 and PDE4 — the same targets as leading prescription skin treatments. Antimicrobial & Acne Support Sandalwood demonstrates broad antimicrobial activity against gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria, including Propionibacterium acnes, Staphylococcus aureus, and antibiotic-resistant MRSA strains. In clinical studies, 89% of participants showed improvement in acne with sandalwood-based treatment. Its antifungal activity against Candida and Trichophyton dermatophytes also makes it supportive for fungal acne and fungal skin concerns. Skin Brightening & Hyperpigmentation Support Alpha-santalol inhibits tyrosinase — the key enzyme in melanin synthesis — making sandalwood hydrosol a natural daily support for hyperpigmentation, age spots, and UV-induced uneven skin tone. Its antioxidant polyphenolic compounds also protect against oxidative stress and premature ageing with every mist.
