Mysore Sandal Soap - The Only 100% Pure Sandalwood Oil Soap

Mysore Sandal Soap has been manufactured since 1916 and it is the only soap in the world made from 100% pure sandalwood oil.

In the early 20th century, the Mysore Kingdom in India was one of the largest producers of sandalwood in the world. It was also one of the major exporters of the wood, most of which was exported to Europe. During the First World War, large reserves of sandalwood were left over because they could not be exported due to the war. In order to make good use of these reserves, Nalvadi Krishnaraja Wodeyar, the king of Mysore established the Government Soap Factory in Bangalore.
