About Time We Met
Harness the power of sandalwood with About Time We Met’s range of ethical and sustainably-made skincare. Responsibly harvested from parent company Quintis Sandalwood’s vast Indian sandalwood plantation that spans 12,000 hectares across northern Australia and boasts nearly six million trees (the largest in the world), the “liquid gold” has been proven to be a powerful antioxidant and anti-inflammatory, as well as a powerful ingredient in combating acne, signs of aging, blue light pollution and more.
Heartwood
It just takes one step into Heartwood‘s dreamy Cottesloe space… suddenly, we feel relaxed, soothed and transformed. As well as their luxe facials and massages, they stock a huge range of clean beauty products – including their own perfumes, incense and face oils. Their hero ingredient is Indian Sandalwood, seen in just about all of their products and sustainably grown, harvested and distilled by Heartwood at their farm in the Kimberley.
