At Mulberry & Moss, we believe in reviving time-tested beauty rituals with purity and purpose. One such gem is Sandalwood Powder, also known as Chandan — a sacred, fragrant, and powerful ingredient rooted in Indian wellness traditions. For centuries, it has been prized for its soothing properties, divine aroma, and ability to impart a radiant glow to the skin.
What Is Sandalwood Powder?
Sandalwood Powder is made by finely grinding the aromatic heartwood of the sandalwood tree (Santalum album). The result is a soft, fragrant, golden-beige powder used in skincare rituals for its cooling and calming properties.
