Thanaka Wood

Thanaka wood, hailing from the tree species *Limonia acidissima*, is deeply ingrained in the culture of Myanmar where it's been used for over 2000 years. The pale yellow wood is famous for its cosmetic use, where the bark is ground into a fine paste and applied to the skin for its cooling, sun-protective, and beautifying properties.

The scent profile of thanaka wood is uniquely subtle and mildly sweet, often described as earthy with hints of sandalwood-like fragrances and undertones similar to lemongrass or camphor. This pleasing, gentle fragrance is one of the reasons it's popular not only as a cosmetic but also in perfumery. When used in skincare products, thanaka provides a soothing, clean aroma that enhances the sensory experience of the product without overwhelming the senses.
