    Abstract

    This study evaluated Western Australian sandalwood (Santalum spicatum) seed oil and chemically defined it for cosmetic and pharmaceutical use. Parameters for the selection of suitable raw material sources were established. A novel supercritical carbon dioxide extraction method was developed to isolate the seed oil and its stability established. Isolated triximenynin and its pharmacological activities were studied. Sandalwood seed oil was non-toxic and non-irritant from in-vitro studies.
