Molecular Formula：C15H24O
CAS No.: 115-71-9/77-42-9/98718-51-5/37172-32
Constitutional formula: E-α-santalol/E-β-santalol/Z-α-santalol/Z-β-santalol
Santalol, a type of sesquiterpene, occurs in two enantiomeric forms, α and β, and was initially extracted from sandalwood essential oil. It serves as the primary fragrant component and active ingredient in sandalwood essential oil. α-Santalol mainly comes from Hawaiian sandalwood, Pacific sandalwood, and Australian white sandalwood, providing a refreshing scent similar to cedarwood, making it suitable for mood stabilization and emotional balance. In contrast, β-Santalol, which is mostly obtained from Indian sandalwood, has a deep, strong fragrance akin to that of antique furniture, promoting tranquility when utilized as incense.

Distinctive Aroma
Santalol, a sesquiterpene compound, exists in two enantiomeric forms, α and β, originally isolated from sandalwood essential oil. It is the main aromatic substance and bioactive ingredient in sandalwood essential oil. α-Santalol predominantly originates from Hawaiian sandalwood, Pacific sandalwood, and Australian white sandalwood, offering a refreshing scent to cedarwood, ideal for stabilizing moods and harmonizing emotions. Conversely, β-Santalol, primarily sourced from Indian sandalwood, exudes a rich, robust aroma reminiscent of aged furniture, fostering tranquility when used as incense.
Multiple functions
α-Sandalol possesses antimicrobial properties that aid in sterilizing the urinary system, promoting wound healing, facilitating skin tissue regeneration, alleviating skin dryness, and reducing skin redness. Additionally, it serves as a fixative in perfumery. Research indicates that α-Sandalol exhibits anti-tyrosinase and anticholinesterase activities, making it promising for treating Alzheimer's disease and promoting skin whitening. Furthermore, α-Sandalol shows potential in managing hyperglycemia and combating oxidation. On the other hand, β-Sandalol has calming effects on the nerves, acts as a diuretic in the urinary system, and can alleviate varicose veins, offering relief for hemorrhoids as well.
