Obtained via: Steam distillation
Found inside: Sunday Papers, Late Night Fig, Old Fashioned & Balearic Isle
Story: Local farmers are employed to plant & harvest the sandalwood. Water used in the condenser is recycled & fed back into the process. Any wood left over is donated to local communities to make incense sticks to support the income of families. In addition, a social project enables access to safe water & our supplier runs a training programme for young people about environmental protection.

Drip irrigation is used to feed recycled water & nutrients directly to roots, minimising evaporation & water loss. Organic waste is converted to animal feed or charcoal to use as a fuel. Education, nutrition & social activities for over 250 children each year are supported, along with a project to empower women by providing skills to enter employment.
