Sandalwood Oil

Sandalwood oil is one of the most precious and widely used raw materials in perfumery. Extracted from the heartwood and roots of Santalum album trees grown in India and Indonesia, the oil has played an important social, cultural, religious, medical and aesthetic role for millennia. In perfumery, it is valued not only for its multifaceted woody, creamy, sweet, warm and animalic natural scent, but also for its outstanding fixative and blending properties.

Sandalwood trees, which are semiparasitic evergreens, need particular climate and light conditions in order to thrive. Because of the absence of heartwood in young trees, they should not be harvested for at least 20–25 years, at which point their heartwood is separated, transformed into powder and steam distilled to produce the precious oil. This long period of growth (optimally 30–50 years), combined with the declining population of the species (due mainly to continual deforestation, smuggling and the devastating spike disease), have resulted in the dwindling availability of a good quality sandalwood oil, causing prices to soar.

 After a spectacular price increase in 1974 and a period of fluctuating moderate growth, the cost of sandalwood oil again is increasing rapidly. From $40/kg in 1973, sandalwood oil prices climbed to $210/kg a year later, then dropped back to $140/kg in 1992. Today, the material is priced at around $1,400/kg.

A state monopoly imposed on sandalwood trees and attempts to enlarge the geographic area of S. album plantations to Australia—home to another sandalwood species, Santalum spicatuma—have had a limited effect on the general trend. In perfumery today, the use of natural sandalwood oil is restricted almost exclusively to fine fragrances.
This elite oil is found in SallyeAnder's Arabian Nights bar soap, and Almond Goat Milk Swirl soap, treat yourself to one today!

Our "Little Girl" grows up!

Many of you have wondered just who our "little girl" logo is. It's our daughter Carolyn Grace. When our logo was created , she was 5 yrs old. She turned 21 (!) yesterday!

Through the years, "Gracie" has worked in the company in many ways and lots of you have met her along the way.
When she was young, she helped staple the thousands of samples we give away each year at the various shows we do. At 5, she started coming with me to the Genesee Country Museums' Agricultural Faire in NY each October. So many of you have watched her grow up! Also, as a budding artist at age 7, she drew our sign images for two of our most popular soaps! ( Sallye Sunshine and Ala Kazam Patchouli) For the past 6 years, she has accompanied us to many,many trade shows all over the US. She practiced for her driving test on a trip to Madison, Wisconsin and after getting her license drove with me one summer to the Philly Gift Show, then to the Atlanta show then to Dallas then home. What a great road trip that was.


Locally, Carolyn designs and creates our store window displays and works in day to day jobs such as wrapping soap and putting orders together.

I don't think she really understood just why I was taking her picture with the shower cap on back then, but she sure took a cute picture! Thank you Carolyn for ALL your contributions over the years and Happy Birthday!

'Mr. SallyeAnder'

In today's market there are few words more powerful than "green". "green" cars, architecture, packaging, etc. Here at SallyeAnder, we've been "green" since green was just a color!
Our founder "Mr. SallyeAnder" is Gary Austin. Growing up in New York bordering Canada, Gary was a "natural' man. Eagle Scout, Naturalist (he can name anything green in the woods with their Latin names), would be frontier's man, it is only natural that he would discover the healthiest way (for both earth and man) to create innovative skin care solutions. He turned homemade plain soap into colorful, fragrant, luxurious body care. Others have dabbled, "Mr. SallyeAnder" has perfected.

Cool Cleansers

If you have oily skin, summertime can be the worst. Heat and humidity can make your skin feel extra dirty, and washing 5-6 times a day may be difficult to schedule, causing your skin to dehydrate. The best way to combat this problem is to choose a good bar cleanser, and an astringent toner. These products used in conjunction with each other can make your skin feel better and look healthier. It is also a good idea to incorporate exfoliation into your routine a few times a week, before or after the cleansing stage. Here are some great products that I (and my friends) use!

Energizing Eucalyptus

For me, there is something special about eucalyptus in the summertime. Maybe it has this effect on me because of the naturally stimulating, and energizing smell. Or perhaps eucalyptus appeals to me due to the antiseptic properties of the oil. Eucalyptus also has been shown to be an effective bug repellent. It is no wonder why I love this bar soap I found from SallyeAnder online. I have personally used it for years, it really is my favorite bar in the summertime...try it... and post your comments...:-)
