La'au Ala offers the only organic, Eco-Certified Sandalwood made in the US, and is dedicated to restoring native dry-land forests. Through their sustainable forest management plan, Sandalwood trees are able to live through their entire lifecycle without being stressed, and only dead or dying trees are harvested for essential oil and hydrosol.
